The Service Unit for Chemical Reactors ReaktiLabX – 07 is the supply unit for six separate reactors, providing the core support infrastructure for a chemical production facility. This Service Unit for Chemical Reactors mounts the reactor under study using two pins, with hydraulic hoses linking the reactor and supply unit together for simple installation. It regulates temperature, pumps reactants, and monitors conductivity across different reactor types.
Product Overview
The core component of a chemical production facility is the reactor. The reactants, or initial chemicals, interact in the reactor to create a new substance (product). The conditions for the best possible reaction process must be ensured by the reactor. The reactor’s temperature is the main issue here. Depending on the needs, various reactor types are utilized.
The Service Unit for Chemical Reactors ReaktiLabX – 07 is the supply unit for six separate reactors. The supply unit has the reactor to be studied mounted on it, and it is secured in place by two pins. Two reactant tanks are set up on the trainer to allow the reactors to run continuously. Hydraulic hoses link the reactor and supply unit together. For simple installation, the hoses have rapid release couplings.
The two reactants are pumped into the reactor using two pumps. The pump speed can be changed to change how long the reactants remain in the reactor. The reactants in the reactor combine to create the final product. For the product, an additional tank and pump are provided. To regulate the temperature of the reactor, the supply unit has a heating water circuit with a pump, tank, and heater. A sensor that measures temperature and conductivity simultaneously is used in the reactor. The stirrers in the various reactors can be started using the controls found in the switch cabinet.

Construction and Design
The Service Unit for Chemical Reactors ReaktiLabX – 07 mounts the reactor under study using two pins, connected to the supply unit via hydraulic hoses with rapid release couplings. Two reactant tanks, made of glass, are set up on the trainer to allow continuous reactor operation, supplied by two peristaltic pumps rated approximately 0.02 to 2200mL/min at variable speed below 600rpm. An additional glass tank and pump handle the product. A heating water circuit, including a water pump rated 10L/min max. flow, 30m max. head, and 500W power consumption, along with 3 heaters at 1500W each (4500W total) and a 25L heating water capacity, regulates reactor temperature. A combined sensor measures temperature and conductivity simultaneously in the reactor. A 4L feed storage vessel and a magnetic stirrer with heated base support reactant preparation. Stirrers in the various reactors are controlled via the switch cabinet.
