Reactor-Ready - Summary
Reactor-Ready Features
Patented vessel clamp allows rapid vessel exchange without tools
- Unique clamp design allows vessel to be supported and clamped by a single operator in less than a minute.
- Use the same clamp to hold all vessel sizes; plus the vessels remain supported even when the clamp is unlocked.
Vessel Support Collar aids vessel loading
- Reactor-Ready uses an innovative support collar fitted to the neck of each vessel, which allows the vessels to be swapped in and out of the Reactor-Reactor core like a cartridge.
- The stainless steel collar locks securely into the support plate on the framework and allows the vessel to remain supported, even when not clamped.
- Vessel exchange is tool free and can easily be undertaken by one person.
Unique Self aligning Stirrer Coupling saves time when changing Vessels
- Patented drop-in stirrer coupling engages easily without the need for tools.
- Simply lower the stirrer coupling to engage with the stirrer guide below.
- The stainless steel stirrer coupling will fit in any standard stirrer chuck.
- The non-slip design ensures powerful stirring up to 500rpm, or 800rpm for short periods (subject to motor selected).
Choice of PTFE stirring shafts
- Reactor-Ready is offered with a choice of PTFE Stirring Shafts: Anchor, Retreat Curve and Turbine or Propeller styles.
- PTFE Anchor Stirring Shaft is included with all standard reaction vessel kits.
- PTFE Turbine Stirring Shaft is included with all process reaction vessel kits.
I-beam Support allows the Stirring Motor to be positioned with ease
- I-beam allows the stirrer drive to be raised or lowered without needing to remount the stirrer.
- Adjustable safety stop collars located below the I-beam allow the user to lower the stirrer motor to a set position for ease of operation and safety.
- Reactor-Ready accepts all leading brands of motor or air-powered overhead stirrer with support rods up to 16mm in diameter.
Whip-free stirrer guide
- The Reactor-Ready’s PTFE stirrer guide screws directly on to the glass lid and features a unique extended support which provides whip-free agitation even at high speeds.
- The stirrer guide is chemically inert, gas tight and suitable for work under vacuum.
Quick Release PEEK Hose Couplings
- Operates over the temperature range -70˚C to +230˚C.
- Quick release, screwthread design allows rapid exchange of vessels without the use of tools.
- Simply tighten by hand for a leak tight seal.
- PEEK with Viton O-rings ensures all wetted parts are chemically resistant.
- Lightweight, metal free design prevents chipping and minimises strain on the glass fitting.
- All hoses have a 12mm ID, maximising thermofluid flow and heating/cooling performance.
- Low thermal conductivity of PEEK reduces frosting when cooling.
Hose Manifolds allow easy Thermofluid drain down
- The inlet and outlet hoses from the Reactor-Ready vessel connect to manifolds attached to the support rod.
- These manifolds serve two important functions: 1. Supports the hose running from the vessel, thereby eliminating stress on the glass sidearm. 2. Allows thermofluid drain down which provides a quick and clean method of removing the thermofluid from the vessel jacket when changing vessels.
- By opening the venting valve on the (upper) outlet manifold, thermofluid drains from the vessel back to the thermoregulator under gravity.<
- Opening the drain tap on the (lower) inlet manifold allows drainage to an external reservoir.
Reactor-Ready Duo Lab Reactor
All the benefits of Reactor-Ready with two vessels in parallel or series
Reactor-Ready Duo shares the same unique features as Reactor-Ready but holds two independent jacketed glass reaction vessels. The system can be configured to operate with a single thermoregulator controlling the jacket temperature of both vessels simultaneously; or with two thermoregulators controlling the temperature of each vessel independently.
Reactor-Ready Duo - Overview
Reactor-Ready Features
- Rapid exchange of both vessels independently, with quick-release vessel clamp and hose couplings.
- Choice of manifold kits allow two vessels to run from a single thermoregulator or two separate thermoregulators.
- System accepts two overhead stirrers which can be operated independently.
Applications
- Parallel synthesis or reaction optimisation: Use similar or different size vessels and vary stirring speed, stirrer shape and temperature between vessels.
- Two stage reaction: Transfer reactant from one vessel to the other using vacuum or a pump.
- Single reaction vessel: Using the second vessel as either a receiving or feed vessel (where reagents can be pre-heated or pre-cooled prior to addition).
- Use optional Control Software to control fluid transfer between vessels.

Ring Baffle Systems
Heat transfer efficiency
Asahi triple walled reactors are fitted with a vacuum jacket and glass ring baffles. The vacuum jacket virtually eliminates all heat losses to the atmosphere allowing the process to be monitored without frost formation on the jacket for operations below freezing point. the jacket is extended over the service nozzle.
The glass ring baffles force the heat transfer fluid to circulate evenly throughout the jacket and to promote turbulent flow for efficient heat transfer. ASAHI believes that jacket temperature must be precisely controlled in order to control the process temperature. Only Asahi offers this type of technology.
Higher Process Yields
Aside from enabling faster heat up and cool down times, the glass ring baffles also ensure more consistent temperature distribution within the reactor. So called “cold spots” can have significant negative impacts on product quality and yield. Asahi reactors prevent these cold spots offering benchmark production yield and product quality.
Easy scale up
All triple walled reactors are designed to keep the Height (H) / ID (W) ratio within 1 to 1.5 for structural security, performance and easy scale-up modifications.
