The Glass Reactor is a generic term for a type of vessel widely used in the process industries. It is used for a variety of process operations such as dissolution of solids, product mixing, chemical reactions, batch distillation, crystallization, extraction and polymerization.

A typical glass reactor consists of a glass vessel with an agitator and integral heating/cooling system. The borosilicate glass vessels come with sizes from 50ml up to 200L. Liquids or solids are feed via connections at the top cover of the reactor. Vapors are discharged through the connections at the top and the wastes are usually discharged out from the bottom.

The advantages of the glass reactor lie with its versatility and visibility. A single vessel system can carry out a sequence of different operations without the need to break containment which is useful when processing toxic or highly potent compounds.

A jacketed glass reactor is a container that is designed for controlling temperature of its contents, by using a cooling or heating “jacket” around the vessel through which a cooling or heating fluid is circulated. The jacket has ability to permits the uniform exchange of heat between the fluid circulating in it and the walls of the vessel.

Jacketed glass reactors are designed for reaction and mixing of different types of materials under a specific adjustable temperature and vacuum condition. The reaction lid has different functional ports which allow users to perform different purposes such as adding material to the vessel at a controlled speed, measure the temperature of material, add powder or solids to the vessel, recover the distilled material and so on. The lid is fully customizable according to clients’ requirements.

The single-layer glass reactor belongs to the multifunctional single layer glass reactor. The reactor is generally used in chemical industries. The product can be used with a running water vacuum siphon, or it can be used in experimental production.

It is carried out through an oil bath reactor at a constant high temperature or a low-temperature heat solution or a refrigerant to heat or cool the material in the reactor and may add stirring. The tool can process the vacuum stirring reaction and control the dissipation of the reflux solution. Single-layer glass reactors  adapt to sophisticated national and international innovations and drive the latest multipurpose products. Valuable and excellent in appearance, and reasonable, it is an ideal equipment to test the new current chemicals.

Besides, single-layer glass reactors have single and double division reactors and triple glass division reactors. The reactor can be pumped under negative pressure as specified in some test requirements. The static pressure channel or the change valve in the feed tank allows you to add materials to the container at a uniform and controlled speed. The condenser compensates for some distilled substances during the reaction. The liquid that circulates in the housing can be filled to heat or cool the material inside.
