How to use and maintain laboratory reactors

Laboratory reactors are small reaction vessels designed specifically for colleges, universities, research institutions, and institutes to research and develop new products. They are suitable for small-scale experiments on coatings, food, cosmetics, pigments, dyes, petroleum asphalt, etc.

How to use and maintain jacketed glass reactor:

1. For reactions involving heating or gas, ensure the system is not a closed system.

2. Before using the laboratory reactor, close the refrigerant inlet valve, drain any remaining refrigerant from the jacket, and then input materials.

3. After processing, drain any remaining condensate from the jacket, rinse with warm water as soon as possible, brush off any adhering materials, then thoroughly clean the inner wall of the container with alkaline water, and rinse with clean water.

4. Regularly monitor the operation of the entire equipment and the reducer. Replenish the reducer lubricating oil immediately if it is insufficient. Replace the electric heating medium oil every six months.

5. Regularly inspect the safety valves, pressure gauges, etc., on the jacket. Replace or repair any faulty components immediately.

6. When the laboratory reactor is not in use, thoroughly clean the inner and outer walls of the container with warm water to maintain a clean exterior and a shiny inner liner, ensuring durability.

Glass reactors are commonly used experimental and small-to-medium-sized production equipment in fields such as chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and bioengineering. They are mainly used for experiments such as material synthesis, distillation, and concentration. The interior of the vessel can be evacuated to a negative pressure state to meet experimental requirements.
