ChemReactors

The use of glass ChemReactors

The BÜCHI high performance ChemReactor is a multipurpose pilot reactor system for chemical process development, scale-up, process simulation and kilo scale cGMP production in batch and semi-batch operation.

The system consists of:

Reactor with solid jacketed glass lined steel bottom stands for solid construction, excellent heat transfer, stable process conditions and temperatures, and a glass section to easily improve and control chemical reactions by visual observation.

Distillation glass overhead built with buchiflex components (unique flexible ball - socket joints) for multiple, reliable processes under full vacuum.

With a large number of options, standard- and custom-made components, we can build solutions to fulfil any requirement. The use of the unique ball/socket joints “büchiflex”, allow for easy retrofitting for new processes and maintenance.
