Reactor-Ready Pilot Lab Reactor
Replace multiple reactor set-ups with a single, universal pilot scale system – 5 to 35 litres
Why choose Reactor-Ready Pilot?
Replace multiple reactor set-ups with a single, universal pilot scale system with interchangeable vessels that can be swapped in minutes NOT hours.
Flexible
Range of single jacketed vessels from 5 litres to 35 litres. Range of vacuum jacketed vessels from 5 litres to 10 litres. Choose from two precision ground lids with DN200 vessel flange.
Interchangeable
Rapid vessel exchange with quick-release vessel clamp and wide bore hose couplings. Accepts all leading brands of overhead stirrer and allows easy, tool-free adjustment.
Universal
Compact stainless steel framework accepts all vessel sizes. Vessels have 1.25 to 1 ratio of internal height to diameter to mimic plant scale reactors.
Simple
Self-aligning stirrer coupling engages without the need for tools. Innovative hose manifolds allow easy thermofluid drain down.

Reactor-Ready Pilot Glass Lids
DN200 Glass Lids fit all Vessel sizes. Choose from two standard configurations with 6 or 7 Rodaviss glass joints or request a custom design.
- DN200 Glass lids fit all vessel sizes:
- DN200 lid with either 6 or 7, Rodaviss conical ground glass joints
- Rodaviss joints are grease free, will not jam and are interchangeable with ordinary 1-in-10 B and A length tapered conical joints
- Rodaviss A length joints are also available
PTFE Vessel Lids
Ideal for use with PAT and test probes
- Removable PTFE sockets and compression fittings allow for maximum flexibility, simply unscrew and change the fitting to suit your set-up.
- More suitable for PAT and test probes than equivalent glass lids.
- Allows for more ports in a smaller space (8 rather than 6 or 7).
- More robust and less likely to break than glass.
- Less dead space at top of vessel.
Polypropylene Drip Trays
- Drip trays are NOT included in the Pilot core and must be ordered separately
- Chemically resistant polypropylene designed to catch any spills and vessel contents in case of breakage
- Available in 7, 22, 45 and 55 litre capacities
- Slide easily onto the Reactor-Ready Pilot base
