Reactor-Ready Pilot Process Reaction Vessel Features
- Jacketed and vacuum jacketed vessels with dish shaped bottom.
- Feature a 1.25 to 1 ratio of internal height to diameter to mimic the geometry of plant scale reactors.
- Range of single vessels from 5 litres to 35 litres.
- Range of vacuum jacketed vessels from 5 litres to 10 litres.
- Custom styles and sizes available on request.
- Precision engineered borosilicate glass vessels with DN200 flange.

Reactor-Ready Pilot Process Reaction Vessel Features
- Double or vacuum jacketed vessels provide transparent insulation for faster cooling, lower temperatures and reduces frosting for improved contents visibility.
- DN200 ground and polished flat flange combines with the FEP encapsulated O-ring and a unique self-centering PTFE collar to offer a leak-tight seal between the vessel and lid.
- Convenient and cost effective vessel kits include stirrer, temperature probe and side-arm coupling.

Vessels feature V5 Zero Dead Space Drain Stopcock
- Exclusive stopcock design prevents over-tightening that can cause glassbreakage
- Piston design allows quick and safe removal, eliminating the cleaning and assembly problems associated with other stopcocks
- Glass-filled PTFE pistons operate across the full temperature range -70 ºC to +230 ºC
- Pistons are interchangeable between vessels with a full range of replacement parts and FEP O-rings
- We recommend using Chemraz O-rings for temperatures above +150 ºC
- The large 25 mm bore pistons minimise sample hold-up and are ideal for slurries

Scale up your chemistry from 5 to 35 litres, in a single framework, using the Reactor-Ready Pilot Lab Reactor.

Reactor-Ready Pilot Process Vessel Lids
Choose from two precision ground standard configurations 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 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.

PTFE Stirrer Shafts
- Chemically inert PTFE rotors moulded onto a 16 mm ø PTFE encapsulated metal core
- Available in Anchor, Retreat Curve and Turbine or Propeller styles
- PTFE Turbine Stirring Shaft is included with all Pilot vessel kits

PTFE Adjustable Rotors
- Fit 16 mm shafts and can be position anywhere along shaft
- Chemically inert PTFE with glass filled PTFE locking nut
- RR258300 – 4 blade 45˚ Angle Rotor forces the product down and creates good
axial flow with low shear force - RR258302 – 2 Blade Vertical Rotor creates tangential flow with gentle stirring

Reactor-Ready Pilot PTFE Pt100 Temperature Probes and Adapters

Reactor-Ready Pilot Reflux Divider Kits
Reflux divider kits allow condensed vapours to be either refluxed back into the reactor or diverted into a separate receiving vessel.
- Choice of receiving flasks 500 ml, 1, 2 and 5 litre. All receiver flasks feature three necks,decanting stopcock and are suitable for stacking. Receiver flasks must be ordered separately
- Reflux divider kits are available with optional vapour temperature sensor

Webinar: Reaction system design – Learn from the experts
In this webinar we look at some considerations when designing a jacketed lab reactor system and their implications.
We then follow on with some bespoke design options available for our jacketed reactors, where we review a variety of subjects including reactor geometry, thermal fluid connections, lid port design, drain valves and more illustrated with some examples of custom systems we have done for users.

Webinar: The benefits of Jacketed Lab Reactors and considerations when choosing a system
When purchasing a jacketed lab reactor setup for scaling up your process, there are many considerations to be made.
In this webinar we cover the fundamental points of specifying the right reactor and ancillary devices to ensure that you get the optimal performance of your jacketed lab reactor system for scale-up and process development.
