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 reduce residue adhesion, simplifies cleaning, and supports demanding laboratory synthesis and process-development 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 ideal for standard heating and cooling, while the dual-jacket configuration offers enhanced temperature stability for more demanding reactions and extended process development.
  • Shell-and-Tube Condenser System: an integrated shell-and-tube condenser provides efficient vapor condensation and solvent recovery with an optimized heat-transfer surface. The design helps minimize solvent loss during reflux, distillation, extraction, and other temperature-controlled laboratory processes.
  • Variable-Speed Mechanical Stirring: a top-mounted mechanical stirring system delivers adjustable mixing speed and stable torque for low- to medium-viscosity materials. Uniform agitation improves heat transfer, mass transfer, and reaction consistency during laboratory synthesis and batch process development.
  • 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 process-development environments.
  • Why Choose a 5 L Stainless Steel Reactor: a 5 L stainless steel reactor offers an ideal balance between benchtop laboratory research and larger-scale process development. Compared with smaller laboratory reactors, the increased working volume allows researchers to evaluate reaction reproducibility, optimize operating parameters, and generate more representative scale-up data while maintaining precise temperature control and efficient mechanical mixing. It is well suited for laboratory synthesis, crystallization, extraction, formulation development, catalyst evaluation, and other controlled batch-processing applications.
  • Typical Applications: laboratory chemical synthesis; process development; crystallization; extraction; reflux reactions; distillation; formulation development; catalyst evaluation; small-batch chemical processing

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 5 L Jacketed 316L Stainless Steel Reactor used for?

The 5 L Jacketed 316L Stainless Steel Reactor is designed for advanced laboratory research, formulation development, reaction optimization, and small-scale process evaluation.
It is suitable for chemical, pharmaceutical, material science, and academic research applications requiring controlled temperature, mixing, and repeatable experimental conditions. The increased 5 L capacity provides more flexibility than smaller laboratory reactors for development studies and batch testing.

How does the jacketed design control the reaction temperature?

The jacketed structure allows heating or cooling media to circulate around the reactor vessel, providing efficient thermal transfer between the temperature-control system and the process material.
When connected to a compatible circulator, the reactor supports controlled heating, cooling, and temperature stabilization during laboratory development processes.

Why is 316L stainless steel used for this reactor?

316L stainless steel provides excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and compatibility with many chemical applications.
The electropolished internal surface helps reduce surface roughness, minimize residue buildup, and simplify cleaning between experiments.
Chemical compatibility should always be evaluated according to the specific chemicals, concentration, temperature, and operating conditions.

Can the reactor be used for reflux and solvent recovery?

Yes. The shell-and-tube condenser supports reflux reactions, vapor condensation, and solvent recovery applications.
The system helps manage vapor generated during heating processes and supports more efficient laboratory workflows.

What is the recommended working volume for a 5 L reactor?

The reactor has a nominal capacity of 5 L. The recommended working volume depends on the process requirements, material properties, mixing conditions, and required headspace.
Important considerations include:
• Mixing performance
• Material viscosity
• Foaming behavior
• Thermal expansion
• Reaction characteristics
• Addition requirements
Proper working volume selection helps maintain stable mixing and consistent experimental results.

Can this reactor handle different processes and accessories?

Yes. The modular Tri-Clamp connection design allows integration with compatible accessories for different laboratory applications.
The reactor can support:
• Mechanical stirring
• Temperature monitoring
• Condensation
• Material addition
• Liquid collection
• Customized research configurations
