10L Double Walled Glass Reactor

What is it?

The double jacketed glass reactor — also known as double walled glass reactor — is a robust, high-capacity temperature-controlled stirred vessel specifically designed for pilot-scale validation, process scale-up, and early production trials in chemical synthesis, pharmaceutical development, and fine chemical process research. This 10L model features a 10L material capacity inner vessel made of high-borosilicate glass, with a 3.6L mezzanine jacket for efficient heating and cooling circulation. It delivers precise temperature management, powerful variable-speed stirring, and highly flexible configurations, making it suitable for vacuum, reflux, continuous reactions, distillation, and more.

Most suitable laboratories and project stages

• Pharmaceutical pilot labs (Pilot Lab)
• Chemical process development centers
• Technology transfer & process scale-up laboratories
• Application-oriented R&D labs with clear production goals
• University / research institute pilot validation platforms (industry-oriented projects)

What scale-up pain points does it solve for you?

• Small-scale (1–5L) data fails to predict pilot/production behavior, leading to repeated failures and costly re-optimization
• Significant amplification effects in heat transfer, mass transfer, shear forces, dead zones, and local overheating at larger volumes
• Poor long-term stability and batch-to-batch reproducibility in continuous or extended runs
• Loss of control over crystallization, precipitation, and crystal form during scale-up, resulting in reduced purity/yield
• Increased safety risks with exothermic reactions, flammable solvents, or corrosive media at higher scale
• Lack of reliable design basis for 50L / 100L / industrial-scale reactors, causing late-stage rework and delays
• Difficulty in producing sufficient sample quantities for customer demos, registration, or stability testing

Core technical features (why these parameters matter for scale-up)

• 10L material capacity + 3.6L mezzanine jacket — Larger heat exchange area for realistic thermal behavior simulation
• -120°C to +300°C ultra-wide temperature range — Supports extreme temperature gradients and precise control under amplified conditions
• Fluorine-coated stainless steel stirring paddle + 15mm shaft diameter — High corrosion resistance and strong torque output to handle amplified shear and mixing challenges
• 0–450 rpm powerful adjustable stirring — Simulates industrial stirring power consumption and shear forces
• 6 customizable ports + 1L constant pressure funnel — Enables continuous feeding, multi-point monitoring, sampling, vacuum/reflux, and complex process setups
• Large 260mm coverage diameter — Reduces dead zones and improves mixing uniformity
• High-borosilicate double-walled structure — Transparent for real-time observation of scale-up effects + effective insulation
• Optional explosion-proof motor & control box — Ensures safety for hazardous pilot-scale operations

Typical scale-up validation experiments

• Process scale-up verification (Lab → Pilot → Production)
• Continuous / long-duration reaction stability testing (hours to days)
• Crystallization, precipitation, and crystal form control & optimization
• Evaluation of heat/mass transfer and stirring/shear amplification effects
• Validation of thermally sensitive or highly exothermic/endothermic reactions
• Small-to-medium batch sample preparation for customer demos or registration
• Multi-batch reproducibility validation (process stability confirmation)

Why choose 10L and above capacity?

• Much closer to real production conditions — Heat transfer, mass transfer, and shear effects become significant
• Can validate critical scale-up parameters — Temperature gradients, power consumption, local overheating, crystallization behavior
• Provides reliable design basis for 50L/100L/industrial reactors — More credible parameters, material balance, and energy estimates
• Ideal for customer demos & sample preparation — Quickly produces gram-to-hundred-gram quantities for review and approval
• Strong data reproducibility — Higher batch-to-batch consistency, significantly reduces scale-up risks and costs

Recommended Compatible Equipment

• Heating Circulators — Accurate temperature control for heating and maintaining conditions
• Vacuum Pumps — Reduced-pressure reactions, distillation, and filtration
• Condensers — Efficient reflux, condensation, and solvent recovery
• Digital PID Controllers — Precise regulation of stirring speed and temperature
• Safety Explosion-Proof Accessories — Optional for hazardous process conditions
