Jacketed Glass Reactor LJGR-B17

Labtron has designed the Jacketed Glass Reactor LJGR-B17 with explosion-proof compatibility, so hazardous atmospheres are mitigated during volatile solvent use. The glass vessel and PTFE components resist corrosion from aggressive chemicals. A pressure-rated jacket prevents overpressure incidents by maintaining vacuum integrity during temperature cycling. A ground-level drain port ensures spills are contained safely into compatible containers. Circuit boards and control systems are isolated from liquid paths to avoid electrical hazards. Each unit passes pressure and vacuum testing before dispatch. Safety interlocks are included to prevent operation if the lid or hoses are improperly connected. Lab technicians can maintain high safety standards under batch or continuous processing conditions.

Our Jacketed Glass Reactor LJGR-B17 features broad glass surfaces and accessible openings to support efficient cleaning workflows. Smooth PTFE stirrer supports minimize residue buildup on mechanical parts. The high clearance drain port allows complete emptying before rinse cycles. Detachable hose connections simplify disassembly for internal wash-downs. Inner glass surfaces resist staining or adsorption of reactants. Glass thickness provides safe handling during temperature cycling and cleaning. Cleaning can be performed with common laboratory solvents or mild detergents without damaging components. Post-cleaning rinse validation ensures no solvent residues remain before the next application.

Labtron ensures the stirring system within the Jacketed Glass Reactor LJGR-B17 maintains torque when working with viscous slurries. PTFE stirrer supports resist chemical build-up and allows smooth rotation under load. The 500-rpm top-end stirring speed supports agitation intensity even during dense mixtures. A wide drain port keeps thick materials moving during discharge. Hose connections remain accessible, letting draining and flushing be performed even under slurry conditions. The jacket temperature control helps prevent solidification in cold zones during stirring. Vacuum capability helps draw off gases or vapors from viscous reaction mixtures. Transparent glass walls enable visual inspection to avoid stagnation or dead zones.

Our Jacketed Glass Reactor LJGR-B17 comes with a standardized 40/38 condenser interface that matches common glass condenser joints. Glass reflux lines and receiving flasks can be added without needing adapter kits. The specified condenser area ensures effective solvent condensation over prolonged runs. Jacket temperature management maintains stable reflux ratios. Drain port integration means solvent recovery paths remain accessible below the reactor. Optional receiver bottles or trays can be fitted under the drain for captured condensate. Vapor recovery accessories are supported without modification of the main unit. This allows extended distillation, reflux, or recovery operations under controlled reaction environments.

Labtron’s design of the Jacketed Glass Reactor LJGR-B17 accommodates in-process additions via its solid addition port. The port is sized and shielded to reduce exposure during powder transfer. Operators can load finely divided solids without halting stirring or vacuum cycles. Addition occurs safely outside the main headspace to contain dust and vapor buildup. A secure seal prevents leaks even during continuous stirring. Once loading is done, the port is re-sealed to resume reaction conditions seamlessly. The glass vessel remains transparent for visual monitoring of powder dispersal. Compatible with hopper attachments or glove-port systems based on user preference.

Our Jacketed Glass Reactor LJGR-B17 can be customized to include internal filter setups. Filter elements can be fitted above the drain port to retain solids while liquid drains. This eliminates the need to transfer mixtures to an external filtration apparatus. PTFE plug and valve assemblies provide control over filtration flow rates. Filter configurations adapt to particle size and process viscosity. Once filtration is complete, solids can remain inside the reactor for further processing or cleaning. The glass vessel transparency enables monitoring of solids accumulation. This enhances laboratory efficiency by combining reaction and separation within one unit.
