Scalable Agitated Baffle Reactor (SABRe)

The Scalable Agitated Baffle Reactor (SABRe) by StoliChem is a continuous flow reactor which contains 10 continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTRs) in series to improve mass and heat transfer.

The SABRe combines the best of both worlds:

• Flexibility of batch: it’s multipurpose and scalable, offering all the benefits of traditional batch engineering.
• Performance of flow: SABRe’s heat and mass transfer efficiency rivals that of tubular and chip reactors.

Modular design for many applications

SABRe is designed as a drop-in replacement for jacketed batch reactors, offering seamless compatibility with major pumps, chillers, heaters, and overhead stirrers. This eliminates the need for new equipment when transitioning to continuous flow reactor manufacturing.

With just one pressure vessel, SABRe provides:

• Several reactor volumes
• Various impellers
• Multiple inlet/outlet points
• Various number of chambers
• Different baffle geometry

Rapid scale-up of precision chemical manufacturing

SABRe offers unrivaled reaction control, even at long residence times and large scales. Its ability to maintain consistent, controllable, and predictable mass transfer performance, independent of pumping rates, ensures optimal results every time.

With several jacket options available, SABRe enables high heat transfer rates, making it ideal for handling hazardous and exothermic reactions.

The system is available in three standard sizes for lab, pilot, and production scales, providing a clear pathway for scale-up without compromising yield, purity, or energy efficiency.

Features: 

• Scalable from 30 mL to 100 L reactor volume while maintaining consistent mixing and heat transfer rates
• High flexibility due to the modular design of the reactor
• Suitable for solids, gases, non-viscous and viscous liquids and combination thereof
• Improved Yield and Purity by ensuring consistent mixing and temperature control
• Versatile, which makes it suitable for various applications, including crystallization, polymerization, and reactions involving solids
