BÜCHI AG - Reactor Systems and Pilot Plants

Reactor volume: 0.5 to 1.0 liter Pressure: -1 (FV) to +60 bar Temperature: - 20 °C to +250 °C Material: Borosilicate glass 3.3, stainless steel This multipurpose pressure reactor system is designed for the use of interchangeable glass and steel pressure vessels. Safety features guarantee safe reactions under pressure. The polycarbonate door of the uniclave housing also allows glass pressure reactors up to 12 bar to be used safely and with unrestricted visibility. The high-torque magnetic stirrer drive offers you optimal control of mixing tasks with the display of speed and torque. The glass reactors ensure high resistance against acids, while allowing visual process control and monitoring. The modular setup of the uniclave system allows changing of the vessel or upgrading of the configuration for new tasks at any time.

Nutsche filters for reactors and pilot plants Glass vessel: 10, 30, 50, 100, 140, 300 liter Pressure: -1.0 (FV) to +0.5/ 1.0 bar Temperature: -60 °C to +200 °C Filter cloth: Mesh size 8 to 115 micron Material: Borosilicate glass 3.3, PTFE, PFA, ETFE A clean-room setup and other materials are available to meet your specific process requirements. Buchi nutsche filters can easily be combined with our reactors for solid / liquid separation after the synthesis. The inert materials allow safe processing in an inert atmosphere of a wide range of solvents and acids in a completely sealed (buchiflex) glass system under full vacuum. The slurry is transferred into the filter. The solid content in the slurry is held back by the filter cloth forming a filter cake, while the filtrate runs away to the outlet valve in the bottom plate. The filtering stage ends when the filtrate is of small quantity, which can be shortened by squeezing the filter cake by turning the height adjustable stirrer.

High-performance reactor systems for API synthesis, small scale production and pilot plant applications Glass, glass-lined steel reactor: 15, 30, 60, 100, 160, 250 liter Pressure: -1.0 (FV) to +0.5 bar Temperature: -60 °C (-90 °C) to +200 °C Material: Borosilicate glass 3.3, glass-lined steel, PTFE, PFA, tantalum A clean-room setup and other materials are available to meet your specific process requirements. Performance and reliability are key issues in the explosion proof design of Buchi glass reaction systems: The inert materials allow safe processing in a inert atmosphere of a wide range of solvents and acids in a completely sealed glass reaction system under full vacuum. Multiple chemical reaction steps are performed safely in the same setup. The system consists of:

With the miniPilot product family (reactor, nutsche filter, scrubber) we offer miniplant pilot reactors for chemical process development, scale-up, process simulation and kilo-scale production. 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. The reaction vessel is installed on a lifting / lowering device to simplify opening and cleaning. The distillation glass overhead is built with flexible ball-socket joints for multiple chemical reactions under full vacuum. A clean-room setup and other materials are available to meet your specific process requirements.

Glass distillation columns up to DN 600 are packed with random packing such as Raschig rings, ceramic saddles, PFA packing elements or structured packing dependent on the required separation performance and process media. Each packing type shows different separation performance, indicated by their number of theoretical stages. In combination with glass process equipment, highly corrosion resistant packing material is used for packed glass distillation columns.
