HPR Series reactors

HPR Series reactors enable laboratory researchers to perform pressurized chemical reactions, including high-pressure chemical synthesis and process development. The reactors range in size from 50 mL to 8 L, and can be operated at pressures up to 10,000 psi and temperatures up to 350°C. All high-pressure components are American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)-rated and protected by a rupture disc for safe operation. They provide optimal mixing by using a magnetically coupled impeller. Their modular design allows the units to fit easily under a fume hood, and makes altering their configuration to adapt to new or evolving application needs a simple and inexpensive undertaking. These laboratory bench-top models are suitable for repetitive applications where convenience is important, such as studies of catalysis, polymerization, hydrogenation, oxidation, isomerization, and dehydration. An integrated processor with a full-color touchscreen controls the reactors’ functions, including: closed-loop temperature control, closed-loop speed control, pressure indication, over-temperature limit control, and ramp/soak programming of temperature and mixer speed.
