Chemical Reactors

These reactors are mostly designed for chemical / polymer reactions under controlled conditions.

Our units are from 100mL up to 100L capacity and can have the following peripherals.

Stirring under air tight conditions . The stirrer bearing has two stainless steel ball bearings but with a special PTFE packing to ensure corrosive mixtures do not get to the stainless steel bearings.

There is also an option for a vacuum tight stirrer bearing should the reaction need to be under vacuum. Some customers also use these reactors to distil off solvents from a mixture.

Measure and control ph from ph2—ph14.

Temperature control via a hot oil/water circulator.

Peristaltic pumps for fluid handling.

Syringe pump for accurate small reagent addition.

Mechanical auger to add solids to the reactor at a controlled rate.

Logging of all data on a SD card on a .CSV format.

These reactors very often have to be completely inert to highly corrosive materials, in those cases we coat all the stainless steel parts with a 1mm thick PTFE layer.
