AGI has extensive experience in the design and manufacture of chemical glass reactors for lab-scale to industrial-scale processes. As well as offering pre-configured reactor systems, our expertise means that we can customize almost any reactor to cater to your individual process requirements.
High performance
AGI reaction systems provide high performance process conditions, resulting in higher yields and lower impurities.
High heat transfer
AGI vessels achieve high heat transfer due to their capacity to rapidly heat or cool. Thermal energy is evenly distributed, which prevents uneven treatment of vessel contents.
Features that make high heat transfer possible:
- Optimized inner wall thickness
- Low jacket volume
- Ring Baffle
- High thermal shock resistance
High mass transfer
AGI reaction vessels are optimized for high mass transfer, which is essential for reproducibility and high yield.
Features that make high mass transfer possible:
- Vessel geometry similar to industrial glass-lined reactors
- Variety of impeller options to meet mass flow requirements
Consistency of process scale-up
AGI maintains consistency in scale-up by ensuring, where possible, similar vessel geometry across all vessel sizes.
Features that make scale-up consistency possible:
- Maintenance of height to inner diameter ratio between 1:1to 1:1.5
Great user experience
AGI reaction systems offer a great user experience, with a stress-free workflow that allows you to concentrate on your process.
Quick set-up
AGI systems do not require complex tools for installation. With the standard and premium options available, it is easy to switch vessels (in lab-scale) and to change an impeller if required (in all reactors).
Features that make quick set-up possible:
- Simple installation
- Lid accessories held securely while changing vessel or impeller
- Vessel and motor lift-assist mechanisms
- Flexible heat transfer fluid hoses for use in tight spaces
- Vent and drain valves for quick and easy draining of heat transfer fluid
Easy maintenance
AGI reactors are designed to be easy to clean, and feature easily replaceable parts in the event of a breakage.
Features for easy maintenance:
- Removable flush valve valve
- Easy vessel access in both benchtop and pilot plant scales
- In-place cleaning systems offered for large vessels
- Grooveless flanges for pilot plant vessels
Easily configurable
AGI reaction systems have a number of useful features for standard processes and process development. Standard configurations can also be modified to suit a specific process.
Standard features available for selection:
- Heating, stirring, reflux
- Ports for solids and liquids addition
- Vacuum distillation
- Inert reactions
- Variety of special accessories for specific process requirements
Safe
Safety features are integrated in all AGI reactors, ensuring peace of mind for the protection of both personnel and material.
Reactor safety features:
- Pressure relief valves
- High thermal shock resistance
- Mechanically stable design
- Thermal probes via flush valve
