Glass Mixing Reactors

About Glass Mixing Reactors

• In the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, a Jacketed Reactor is used to control the temperature of its content via a heating or cooling jacket made around the vessel by circulating heating or cooling fluid through the jacket. Agitation is usually used in Jacketed Glass Vessels to improve the level of homogeneity in the properties of fluids such as concentration and temperature.

• A glass reactor made from Borosilicate is known to offer a sole advantage of the visibility of reactions happening inside the reactor, which no reactor made from other materials can give.

• The design of a Jacketed Glass Reactor is made up of a vessel that is bounded by a layer like a jacket made up of glass through which the cooling and heating fluids are passed. The jacket is considered to be an isolated chamber around the vessel inside and is placed in a way that the content present inside of the vessel does not pose a direct contact with the jacket. Concerning various requirements, a nozzle is also provided in the jacket for venting purposes.
