Reactor Ready

Patented vessel clamp allows rapid vessel exchange without tools

• Unique clamp design allows vessel to be supported and clamped by a single operator in less than a minute.
• Use the same clamp to hold all vessel sizes; plus the vessels remain supported even when the clamp is unlocked.

Vessel Support Collar aids vessel loading

• Reactor-Ready uses an innovative support collar fitted to the neck of each vessel, which allows the vessels to be swapped in and out of the Reactor-Reactor core like a cartridge.
• The stainless steel collar locks securely into the support plate on the framework and allows the vessel to remain supported, even when not clamped.
• Vessel exchange is tool free and can easily be undertaken by one person.

Unique Self aligning Stirrer Coupling saves time when changing Vessels

• Patented drop-in stirrer coupling engages easily without the need for tools.
• Simply lower the stirrer coupling to engage with the stirrer guide below.
• The stainless steel stirrer coupling will fit in any standard stirrer chuck.
• The non-slip design ensures powerful stirring up to 500rpm, or 800rpm for short periods (subject to motor selected).

Choice of PTFE stirring shafts

• Reactor-Ready is offered with a choice of PTFE Stirring Shafts: Anchor, Retreat Curve and Turbine or Propeller styles.
• PTFE Anchor Stirring Shaft is included with all standard reaction vessel kits.
• PTFE Turbine Stirring Shaft is included with all process reaction vessel kits.

I-beam Support allows the Stirring Motor to be positioned with ease

• I-beam allows the stirrer drive to be raised or lowered without needing to remount the stirrer.
• Adjustable safety stop collars located below the I-beam allow the user to lower the stirrer motor to a set position for ease of operation and safety.
• Reactor-Ready accepts all leading brands of motor or air-powered overhead stirrer with support rods up to 16mm in diameter.

Whip-free stirrer guide

• The Reactor-Ready’s PTFE stirrer guide screws directly on to the glass lid and features a unique extended support which provides whip-free agitation even at high speeds.
• The stirrer guide is chemically inert, gas tight and suitable for work under vacuum.

Quick Release PEEK Hose Couplings

• Operates over the temperature range -70˚C to +230˚C.
• Quick release, screwthread design allows rapid exchange of vessels without the use of tools.
• Simply tighten by hand for a leak tight seal.
• PEEK with Viton O-rings ensures all wetted parts are chemically resistant.
• Lightweight, metal free design prevents chipping and minimises strain on the glass fitting.
• All hoses have a 12mm ID, maximising thermofluid flow and heating/cooling performance.
• Low thermal conductivity of PEEK reduces frosting when cooling.

Hose Manifolds allow easy Thermofluid drain down

• The inlet and outlet hoses from the Reactor-Ready vessel connect to manifolds attached to the support rod.
• These manifolds serve two important functions: 1. Supports the hose running from the vessel, thereby eliminating stress on the glass sidearm. 2. Allows thermofluid drain down which provides a quick and clean method of removing the thermofluid from the vessel jacket when changing vessels.
• By opening the venting valve on the (upper) outlet manifold, thermofluid drains from the vessel back to the thermoregulator under gravity.<
• Opening the drain tap on the (lower) inlet manifold allows drainage to an external reservoir.
