Buchiglas pressure reactors/stirred autoclaves are used for reactions and various applications under pressure. Their pressure reactor systems are designed for intensive daily use in laboratories, pilot plants/kilo labs and small-scale production facilities. Customized solutions for your specific process requirements.
Pressure reactors with large volumes are used for many different processes in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The design is therefore often customised. We plan and Buchiglas manufactures single reactors as well as skid-mounted multiple reactor systems according to customer specifications.
pilotclave - pilot and production pressure reactor
Pressure reactor for kilo labs and small-scale production
Reactor volume: 20 to 500 litre
Pressure: -1 (FV) to +200 bar
Temperature: -20 °C to +300 °C
Material: stainless steel, Hastelloy®
Other materials, pressures & temperatures are available
Buchiglas pilot plants are built for pressure reactions as well as for reactions under full vacuum. Different technologies and materials are used, depending on the requested process and process media.
Pilotclave pressure reactors range from 50 – 500 litres and are all customized. To quote such systems we require detailed specifications. Safety is essential with larger-scale systems, especially when doing hydrogenations and other reactions under higher pressure. The degree of automation and process control varies from simple data collection to complete system automation. In most cases, the reaction vessels are jacketed steel or Hastelloy® reactors.
The pilotclave pressure reactors are used for scale-up and smaller productions in pilot plants and kilo labs.
A URS (User Requirement Specification) and PID are very important for basic and detailed engineering and the success of such projects and plants.
