Hydrocarbon filter-dryer FR series

liquidfor solidsfor clean rooms

Product overview
Filter reactors combine a stirred reactor and an integrated Nutsche filter in a single unit for pilot plants and kilo labs. Available volumes: 10 L, 30 L and 50 L. Modular glass upper section (GUS) and interchangeable bottom/cover options allow configuration to specific process requirements. Turnkey systems with vacuum‑tight buchiflex glass piping and PFA‑coated wetted parts. Certified to ATEX, CE and cGMP standards.
