polyclave – 0.25 to 5.0l

Reactor volume: 0.25 to 5.0l
Pressure: -1 (FV) to +60 / 200 bar
Temperature: -20 °C to +250 °C
Material: Borosilicate glass 3.3, stainless steel, Hastelloy®

The polyclave multipurpose pressure reactor system is designed for the use of interchangeable glass and steel pressure vessels. Thanks to its safety features, safe reactions under pressure are guaranteed.

The stainless steel or Hastelloy® reactors ensure high resistance against acids. Visual process control and monitoring is also possible under high pressure by using steel pressure vessels with sight glasses. Several low-to-high-torque magnetic drives ensure efficient mixing and stirring of low-to-high-viscosity process media as well as magnificent heat transfer. The polyclave is very easy to operate with its fast action closure and lift, also for heavy metal pressure vessels. 

The modular setup of the polyclave system allows changing or upgrading for new tasks at any time.

A wide range of accessories for feeding liquids/solids/gas and others like catalyst baskets, etc. are available. Our product specialists are happy to help you define the right setup.
