Pilot-Scale Glass Reactor
The pilot-scale glass reactor is designed for precise control of temperature, pressure, and stirring in scale-up chemical processes. Serving as a bridge between laboratory research and industrialized production, this equipment is ideal for pharmaceutical, chemical, bioengineering, materials, and environmental applications.
Main Features
- Reaction Vessel: Made of 3.3 borosilicate glass for superior thermal shock resistance and acid/alkali corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term safe operation.
- Wide Working Conditions: Temperature range from -80°C to 200°C; pressure range from 0 to -0.1MPa, suitable for low-temperature synthesis and decompression reactions.
- Optimized Pipeline Design: Jacket interface uses stainless steel insulated hoses to prevent interface stress damage from thermal cycling.
- High Sealing Stirring System: Sealed bearings ensure smooth operation and prevent impurity entry into the reaction system.
- Anticorrosive Components: PTFE stirring blades and PTFE-coated stainless steel shaft combine mechanical strength and chemical stability.
- Movable Bracket: Stainless steel and aluminum alloy spray frame, neat and corrosion-resistant, with brake wheels for easy positioning and cleaning.
- Safe Discharge Design: Inclined, non-accumulating discharge valve at the top reduces residue, simplifies collection and post-processing.
- Convenient Data Monitoring: Digital display and vacuum gauge for real-time temperature, stirring speed, and system pressure monitoring.
- Structural Protection: External circulation pipe fixed to frame, avoiding glass interface stress and extending service life.
Working Principle
- Double-layer jacket allows heat/cold source (thermal oil, water, ethanol) to circulate, controlled by external thermostat; insulated hose connections prevent glass stress for stable temperature control.
- Motor-driven stirring shaft creates effective mixing, solid suspension, and uniform heat transfer; blade shapes selectable for different fluid characteristics; pressure monitored by vacuum gauge for vacuum or atmospheric operation.
- Inclined bottom discharge port enables smooth, residue-free material discharge and easy cleaning after reaction.
Application Areas
- Pharmaceutical Industry: API synthesis, crystal screening, impurity reaction assessment.
