Our approach

Our modular reactor concept enables us to respond flexibly to a wide range of problems, without having to develop entirely new systems.

By substituting or adding further modules, the range of the fully automated parallel reactor unit can be expanded and adapted to deal with new tasks.

For example, the stirring device can be changed – simply by changing the reactor lid – to meet individual requirements. A magnetic coupling fitted below the reactor and a magnetic stirring rod inside allows thorough mixing of experimental batches with a viscosity 0515_1_e/July 2003 up to around 2 Pas. When working with substances with a higher viscosity, a high-performance magnetic stirring unit can be fitted.
