LSPPS High Pressure Reactor in Glass
Glass reactor for pressure duty, 1 L to 5 L
High pressure reaction vessel in glass for duty a normal glass reactor cannot hold — 1 to 5 litres, −5 °C to +150 °C, up to +5 bar, with only glass and PTFE wetted.
| Product type | High pressure reactor in glass |
|---|---|
| Volume | 1 to 5 litres |
| Temperature | −5 °C to +150 °C |
| Pressure | up to +5 bar |
| Wetted material | Glass / PTFE |
| Agitation | Lower to higher Reynolds mixing — anchor type, tubular type, propeller type and others, selected for the duty |
| Heating and cooling | Heating mantles, oil bath, thermic fluid, steam or hot condensate through a glass jacket or glass coils |
| Higher pressure duty | Metal reactors available for reactions at very high pressure |
Product overview
What it does, and where it fits.
The Ablaze high-pressure reactor is used to carry out reaction at higher pressure, which is generally not possible with a normal glass reactor. It keeps the visibility of a glass vessel at a pressure the standard pilot plant reactor is not rated for.
The range covers 1 to 5 litres at up to +5 bar, over −5 °C to +150 °C. Only glass and PTFE come into contact with the process, so the chemistry sees an inert wetted path throughout.
Where the reaction needs pressure beyond this, metal reactors are also available to complement the range at very high pressure.
Features
Built into every unit.
- Carries out reaction at pressure a normal glass reactor cannot hold
- Up to +5 bar, 1 to 5 litre working volume
- Wetted path is glass and PTFE only
- −5 °C to +150 °C operating window
- Retains the process visibility of a glass vessel under pressure
- Metal reactors available alongside for very high pressure duty
Benefits
Why it earns its place in the line.
- Pressure reactions stay visible instead of disappearing into an autoclave
- Inert wetted path — no metal in contact with the batch
- Bridges the gap between an atmospheric glass reactor and a metal pressure vessel
- Same agitation and heating options as the rest of the pilot plant range

Transcribed exactly from the catalogue table. The catalogue sets the wetted material as “Glass/PTEF”, which is a typographical error for PTFE. Metal reactors are also available to complement reactions at very high pressure.
Available on request
- Anchor, tubular or propeller agitator to suit the mixing duty
- Heating by mantle, oil bath, thermic fluid, steam or hot condensate through jacket or coils
- Metal reactor for pressure beyond +5 bar
FAQ
Questions we are asked about this item.
Pressure. The LSPPS Chemical Reactor runs from full vacuum to +0.5 bar; this one carries out reaction at higher pressure — up to +5 bar — which the catalogue notes is generally not possible with a normal glass reactor.
Glass and PTFE only. There is no metal in the wetted path.
Metal reactors are available for reactions at very high pressure. Send us the pressure, temperature and media and we will tell you which side of the line your duty falls.
1 to 5 litres, over −5 °C to +150 °C.
