Buchiglass – miniPilot® – Pilot plant reactor for R&D

Multipurpose glass reactor for small volumes
The miniPilot® is a pilot reactor for chemical process development, scale-up, process simulation and kilo-scale production. Optional add-ons such as a nutsche filter and a scrubber complete the setup. The reactors’ explosion proof design (ATEX) and inert materials allow safe processing of solvents and acids in a completely sealed reaction vessel. The compact standard reactor setup can easily be modified, interchangeable reaction vessels of 5, 10 and 15 liter including interchangeable stirrers are available.
