Cylindrical Receivers

Our Cylindrical Receivers are engineered for precision liquid collection in Industrial Distillation Systems and Chemical Pilot Plants. Fabricated from the highest grade Borosilicate 3.3 Glass, these Glass Receiver Vessels are the industry standard for capturing distillates under High Vacuum and High Temperature conditions. Whether you are performing Simple Distillation or complex Fractional Extraction, our Cylindrical Receivers ensure zero contamination and maximum durability against Corrosive Solvents.

How Does It Work? Step-by-Step Process

The Cylindrical Receiver serves as the critical \"End-Point\" in a Simple Distillation Unit ass

  • Vapor Entry: Distilled vapors pass through a Glass Condenser and enter the Receiver via the top Flange Inlet.
  • Vacuum Regulation: The unit is connected to a Vacuum Pump through a specialized vent port, allowing for Low-Temperature Distillation.
  • Liquid Accumulation: The distillate collects in the Vertical Cylindrical Body, where volume can be monitored via Permanent Graduations.
  • Pressure Balancing: Integrated Vent Ports allow for air-release or nitrogen purging to maintain inert atmosphere.
  • Safe Drainage: The final product is discharged through a PTFE Bottom Outlet Valve that ensures a Leak-Proof seal.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Thermal Shock Resistance: Withstands rapid temperature fluctuations without cracking.
  • Precise Calibration: Features Easy-to-Read Graduations for accurate batch monitoring.
  • Heavy-Wall Construction: Optimized thickness for Full Vacuum and Safe Pressure handling.
  • Custom Flange Design: Available with DN Flanges, NS Joints, or Spherical Joints.
  • Chemically Inert: 100% resistant to Acidic, Alkaline, and Organic chemical attacks

Industries We Serve

As a specialized Cylindrical Receiver Manufacturer, we cater to:

  • Pharmaceutical & API Industry: For Solvent Separation and pure drug collection.
  •  Specialty Chemicals: Handling Aggressive Reagents in R&D labs.
  • Nutraceuticals: Collection of Essential Oils and botanical extracts.
  • Academic Research: Durable Glassware Hardware for chemistry education.

Why Choose Our Cylindrical Receivers?

We outperform competitors by using Stress-Relieved Glass, which undergoes a 24-hour Annealing Cycle to ensure structural integrity. Our Glass Receivers feature Reinforced Flanges that prevent chipping during assembly. By choosing our Customized Glass Solutions, you get a product that fits your Distillation Assembly perfectly without the need for expensive adapters.

Application

  • Distillate Collection in Simple Distillation Units.
  • Vacuum Trap to prevent vapor backflow into Vacuum Pumps.
  • Phase Separator for separating oil and water layers.
  • Buffer Storage for intermediate reaction phases.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What is the maximum pressure a Cylindrical Receiver can handle?

A1: Our Cylindrical Receivers are primarily designed for Full Vacuum (-1 Bar). For positive pressure, they are typically rated up to 0.5 Bar G, depending on the size and wall thickness.

Q2: Can these receivers be used with corrosive acids like HCl or H2SO4?

A2: Yes, the Borosilicate 3.3 Glass construction is exceptionally resistant to almost all chemicals, including Concentrated Acids, making it ideal for Corrosive Distillation.

Q3: Do you offer Jacketed Cylindrical Receivers?

A3: Absolutely. We provide Jacketed Receiver Vessels for applications where the collected distillate must be kept cool to prevent re-evaporation or kept warm to prevent solidification.

Q4: Are the graduations on the glass permanent?

A4: Yes, we use High-Contrast Amber Enamel or ceramic stains that are fused into the glass, ensuring the Graduated Scale never fades even after repeated cleaning.

Q5: Is it possible to add extra ports to the receiver?

A5: We specialize in Customized Glassware. We can add Thermometer Pockets, Vacuum Nozzles, or Sample Ports according to your specific engineering drawings.
