Orb Pilot Reactor

Pilot-scale, modular jacketed reactor

Pilot-scale, modular jacketed reactor for scaling up of batch processes and offers multiple setups in one footprint.

Orb Pilot is the most flexible and versatile floor-standing jacketed reactor system for scaling up of batch processes. Developed in collaboration with scale-up chemists and chemical engineers, Orb Pilot features quick vessel changes, easy height adjustments, and a self-adjusting, spring-loaded base frame for maximum ease of use.

Multiple setups, one footprint

Whether you need a 10 or 50 L vessel, jacketed or vacuum jacketed, you can use all of them on the same Orb Pilot frame. An additional accessories spine can be added to support pumps, collection vessels, reflux assemblies, and many other configurations.

Superior mixing with the pilot-scale, modular, jacketed reactor 

Orb Pilot offers an extensive range of stirrer options, including PBT, hydrofoil, and anchor designs. It also features easily removable baffles that enhance mixing and can be quickly removed and cleaned through the lid ports. Both high- and low-shear mixing profiles are available.

Efficient and powerful stirring

Orb Pilot is compatible with stirrer products from all major manufacturers without requiring changes to mounting hardware. A range of stirrer motors is available, offering up to 500 rpm and 400 Ncm continuous torque.

Safer for your glassware

Orb Pilot’s force-limited clamp protects vessels and lids from damage, eliminating the risk of costly equipment replacements. The clamp can be tightened by any user within minutes, without endangering the glassware, while also enabling rapid stirrer or vessel changes.
