About this item

  • 316L Stainless Steel Wetted Parts: reactor chamber, lid, and all product-contact components are manufactured from corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel, providing excellent chemical compatibility and long-term durability. The electropolished internal surface helps minimize residue adhesion, simplifies cleaning, and supports demanding laboratory process development and scale-up applications
  • Single or Dual Jacket Configuration: available with either a single- or dual-jacket design to accommodate different thermal-control requirements. The single jacket is suitable for standard heating and cooling, while the dual-jacket configuration provides enhanced temperature stability for complex reactions and early process scale-up
  • Shell-and-Tube Condenser System: an integrated shell-and-tube condenser provides efficient vapor condensation and solvent recovery through an optimized heat-transfer surface. The design minimizes solvent loss during reflux, distillation, crystallization, extraction, and other temperature-controlled laboratory processes
  • Variable-Speed Mechanical Stirring: a top-mounted mechanical stirring system delivers adjustable speed and stable torque for low- to medium-viscosity materials. Uniform agitation improves heat transfer, mass transfer, and reaction consistency during process optimization and larger laboratory batch operations
  • Modular Tri-Clamp Configuration: multiple Tri-Clamp process ports, a detachable condenser assembly, configurable collection vessels, and a heavy-duty stainless steel frame with locking casters provide flexible system integration, convenient maintenance, and reliable operation for laboratory and early pilot-scale environments
  • Why Choose a 20 L Stainless Steel Reactor: a 20 L stainless steel reactor is designed for pilot-scale process development, reaction scale-up, and batch validation. Compared with smaller laboratory reactors, it provides greater working volume for evaluating process reproducibility, optimizing operating parameters, and preparing for pilot-scale production while maintaining precise temperature control and reliable mechanical mixing
  • Typical Applications: laboratory chemical synthesis; pilot-scale process development; reaction scale-up; crystallization; extraction; polymerization; esterification; distillation; batch chemical processing

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 20 L Jacketed 316L Stainless Steel Reactor used for?

The 20 L Jacketed 316L Stainless Steel Reactor is designed for pilot-scale process development, chemical synthesis, formulation optimization, and reaction scale-up studies.
It is suitable for chemical, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and material research applications that require larger batch volumes with controlled temperature and mechanical agitation. The 20 L capacity provides an effective transition between laboratory experiments and pilot-scale processing.

How does the jacketed design control the reaction temperature?

The jacketed structure allows heating or cooling media to circulate through the outer jacket surrounding the reactor vessel. This provides efficient heat transfer and helps maintain stable processing temperatures.
When connected to a compatible circulator, the reactor supports controlled heating, cooling, and temperature stabilization during pilot-scale development processes.

Why is 316L stainless steel used for this reactor?

316L stainless steel is widely used for chemical processing equipment due to its excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and suitability for repeated processing applications.
The electropolished internal surface helps reduce material buildup, improve cleanability, and maintain consistent processing conditions between batches.
Chemical compatibility should always be confirmed based on the specific chemicals, concentration, temperature, and operating environment.

Can the reactor be used for reflux and solvent recovery?

Yes. The reactor includes a shell-and-tube condenser that supports reflux reactions, vapor condensation, and solvent recovery processes.
The condenser helps control vapor generated during heating and supports efficient solvent handling during pilot-scale operations.

What is the recommended working volume for a 20 L reactor?

The reactor has a nominal capacity of 20 L. The actual working volume should be selected according to the process requirements rather than filling the vessel completely.
Users should consider:
• Required mixing space
• Material viscosity
• Foaming tendency
• Thermal expansion
• Reaction characteristics
• Addition of reactants or solvents
Selecting the appropriate working volume helps maintain efficient mixing, heat transfer, and stable process performance.

Can this reactor handle different processes and accessories?

Yes. The reactor uses a modular Tri-Clamp connection design, allowing compatible accessories and configurations to be integrated according to process requirements.
The system can support:
• Mechanical stirring
• Temperature monitoring
• Condensation
• Material addition
• Liquid collection
• Customized pilot-scale setups
