Buchi Autoclave System from Ken Kimble (Reactor Vessels) Ltd


	Observe reactions under pressure!

The BEP280 system is a universal stirred autoclave system with pressure vessels made from Borosilicate glass which allows pressurised reactions to be observed. A complete range of glass pressure vessels are available from 100 ml to 5.0 litre and for operation up to 12 bar in an autoclave room or 6 bar in the open laboratory

The autoclave system can also be equipped with stainless steel pressure vessels from 0.5 litre to 20 litres. Standard pressure ratings depend on size but are available to 100 bar.

The Advantages of Glass.

Observe the chemical reaction while it is taking place. This can provide vital information difficult to measure with a probe.

Record the course of the process with photographs or video, also available is a range of data logging solutions and controlled reactors.

Safety is an important factor with glass vessels. Each glass vessel is hydraulically tested at twice its working pressure for 2 hours. A vessel from each batch is taken to bursting pressure which must be above 50 bar or the batch is rejected. Additionally, polycarbonate safety screens together with perforated sheet steel screens provide an extra level of safety.

Superior Quality: All materials in contact with the product are 316 Ti stainless steel (or 316), Borosilicate glass 3.3 and PTFE. Hastelloy, Inconel, Monel, Titanium etc. are also available.

Absolute Pressure Tightness: The magnetic coupling ensures pressure tightness at pressures up to 130 bar as standard. Higher ratings are also available.

The stirrer shaft rotates in PTFE/Graphite bearings and is welded to the hermetically enclosed internal magnet. A closed pressure chamber accommodates both components. The external magnet outside the pressure chamber runs in ball bearings and is driven by an Ex electric motor. The internal magnetic rotates in sympathy with the external magnet. The external magnet is also enclosed so there are no externally visible moving parts.
