Yangmai Glass Reactor

Glass reactors play a vital role in chemical research, pharmaceutical development, and industrial production. With capacities ranging from 1L laboratory scale to 200L industrial systems, selecting the right size is essential for efficiency, safety, and cost control. Why Reactor Capacity Matters： The reactor volume directly affects reaction efficiency, heating and cooling performance, solvent use, and safety. a. Too small → frequent batching, wasted time. b. Too large → unnecessary energy consumption and higher costs. Finding the right balance ensures smooth, reliable experiments and production. Glass Reactor Capacity Guide 🔹1L–5L Glass Reactors Applications: Lab R&D, chemistry teaching, small-scale synthesis. Best for: Trial reactions, catalyst screening, formulation tests. Advantages: Low cost, easy operation, perfect for students and researchers. 🔹10L–20L Glass Reactors Applications: Advanced lab studies, pilot testing. Best for: Process optimization, crystallization, solvent recovery. Advantages: Great balance between research flexibility and output. 🔹 30L–50L Glass Reactors Applications: Pilot plant work, scale-up synthesis. Best for: Transition from lab to production. Advantages: Handles multi-step chemistry, suitable for pharmaceutical intermediates. 🔹 80L–100L Glass Reactors Applications: Pre-production trials, semi-industrial work. Best for: Fine chemicals, botanical extraction, complex reactions. Advantages: Large batch size, stable control, vacuum-compatible. 🔹 150L–200L Glass Reactors Applications: Industrial manufacturing, continuous processing. Best for: High-volume synthesis, CBD extraction, pharma production. Advantages: Heavy-duty design, explosion-proof options, efficient for mass production. Key Factors to Consider Reaction Type – Heating, cooling, crystallization, or distillation. Material Cost – Minimize losses with smaller volumes in early trials. Scale-Up Plan – Start small and expand to pilot or industrial reactors. Space & Utilities – Consider lab space, cooling water, and power needs. Safety Requirements – Larger reactors may require explosion-proof motors and reinforced supports. Conclusion Choosing the right glass reactor capacity (1L–200L) depends on your project stage: 1–5L → research and teaching. 10–50L → pilot testing and process optimization. 80–200L → pre-production and industrial manufacturing. With the right size, you’ll achieve better efficiency, safer operation, and cost-effective results for your chemical processes.

In today’s research and chemical laboratories, the glass reactor is one of the most versatile tools for chemical synthesis, distillation, crystallization, and extraction. Choosing the right reactor is essential for achieving reliable results, ensuring operator safety, and maximizing efficiency. With so many options available, it is important to understand the key factors that should guide your decision.   What to Consider When Choosing a Glass Reactor? 1. Reactor CapacityThe size of the reactor directly affects productivity. From small-scale laboratory testing (10–20L) to pilot-scale and industrial applications (50–200L or more), capacity should match the intended workload. 2. Glass QualityHigh borosilicate glass is the industry standard because it offers superior transparency, resistance to corrosion, and thermal stability—allowing researchers to clearly observe reaction progress under varying conditions. 3. Temperature and Pressure ControlFor experiments involving distillation, reflux, or sensitive synthesis, stable temperature and vacuum control are critical. Pairing the reactor with heater/chiller and circulating water vacuum pumps/diaphragm vacuum pump creates a more reliable system. 4. Safety and SealingFeatures such as magnetic seals, reinforced frames, and explosion-proof configurations reduce risks in demanding environments while maintaining vacuum integrity. 5. Flexibility and CompatibilityAn ideal glass reactor should easily integrate with complementary equipment like ultrasonic homogenizers, metering pumps, and cooling systems, supporting a wide range of experimental setups.   Why Yangmai Glass Reactors Stand Out?
