midiPilot® - glass reactor for small volumes

Multipurpose glass reactor for small volumes

Glass reactor: 20 to 30 liter
Pressure: -1.0 (FV) to +0.5 bar
Temperature: -60 °C (optional -90 °C) to +200 °C
Material: Borosilicate glass 3.3, PTFE, PFA, PEEK

A clean-room setup and other materials are available to meet your specific process requirements. 

The midiPilot is our sturdy multipurpose glass reactor for small volumes. It is specifically designed for applications in kilo lab, for chemical process development and cGMP compliant API syntheses.

The reactors' explosion proof design (ATEX) and inert materials allow safe processing of solvents and acids in a completely sealed reaction vessel.

The compact reactor system can easily be modified:  interchangeable reaction vessels of 20 and 30 liter including interchangeable stirrers are available. The glass reactor is equipped with a lifting / lowering device for easy and efficient opening and cleaning.

We produce complete solutions for chemical processing: Reactor systems including accessories like sampling devices, pH probes, rectification columns with structured packing, process monitoring and control as well as integration of auxiliary equipment such as temperature control units, nutsche filters / dryers, gas scrubbers or mixing vessels.
