Glass Lined Reactor Assembly

The Glass Lined Reactor Assembly with Glass Cover is a high-performance industrial reaction system engineered for scaling laboratory processes to pilot and production levels while closely replicating actual production conditions. Comparable to AGR-type distillation reactor assemblies, this system integrates reaction, distillation, and process monitoring into a single robust setup.

By combining a steel outer shell with a chemically inert glass lining, the reactor delivers exceptional corrosion resistance, product purity, and mechanical strength, making it ideal for pharmaceutical, fine chemical, and specialty chemical manufacturing.

Material Considerations – Why Glass Lined Construction?

Selecting the correct construction material is critical for processes involving corrosive chemicals, high purity requirements, or aggressive reaction conditions.

Glass & Glass Linings are preferred due to:

• Non-reactive and contamination-free surface
• High resistance to acids, alkalis, and solvents
• Smooth, non-stick interior for easy cleaning
• Long service life in harsh environments

The glass-lined steel design merges the best of both materials:

• Steel → mechanical strength & pressure capability
• Glass lining → corrosion resistance & product purity

Working Principle – How the Glass Lined Reactor Assembly Operates

1. Raw materials are charged into the glass-lined reaction vessel
2. Controlled heating or cooling is applied through the jacket
3. Glass-lined steel stirrer ensures uniform mixing without contamination
4. Vapors generated during reaction are routed to the integrated distillation system
5. Condensate is collected via twin distillate receivers for continuous operation
6. Reaction parameters are monitored using PT100 temperature sensors (optional)

This design ensures high batch consistency, safety, and scalability.
