⚙️ How the Reaction Unit Works – Step-by-Step Process
Our Reaction Unit is a stirred batch reactor with an integrated reflux distillation system, enabling controlled chemical reactions and solvent recovery under vacuum or atmospheric pressure.
1️⃣ Addition Phase – A controlled feed vessel adds reactants into the main reaction vessel with a motor-driven stirrer for uniform mixing.
2️⃣ Reaction & Heating – The mixture is heated via a jacketed heating bath or mantle, ensuring precise temperature control (up to 250°C) for various chemical reactions.
3️⃣ Reflux Distillation – Vapors travel through the vapor line to the condenser, where they are cooled and can be recycled back (reflux) or collected as a final product.
4️⃣ Condensation & Sub-Cooling – The condenser efficiently converts vapors back into liquid, with an optional product cooler for additional temperature control.
5️⃣ Product Collection – The final distilled product is collected in the receiver vessel, while residues are discharged via the flush bottom valve for complete system drainage.
🔹 Vacuum Compatibility – Operates under full vacuum for heat-sensitive materials or atmospheric pressure for standard reactions.
🔹 Customizable Configurations – Choose between heating mantle or jacketed bath, spherical or cylindrical vessels, and different stirrer options (PTFE-lined, glass, or SS316L).
