Tubular Reactor | ReaktiLabX – 11
The Tubular Reactor ReaktiLabX – 11 studies continuous reactor behavior using a helical tube design with preheated reactant mixing. This Tubular Reactor features stainless steel coiled preheating tubes, a T-piece mixer, and a PMMA water bath connected to the heating circuit. Conductivity is sampled at the inlet, center, and outlet to track conversion in real time. It requires the Service Unit for Chemical Reactors for pump, tank, and heating circuit support.
The Tubular Reactor ReaktiLabX – 11 is a continuously running reactor that makes it possible to produce goods in big volumes and at a constant level of quality. This Tubular Reactor mounts on the supply unit and is secured in place by two pins, connecting via quick-release connections. It uses a helical tube reactor with preheated reactants combined at a T-piece.
Product Overview
Continuously running reactors are tubular reactors. They make it possible to produce goods in big volumes and at a constant level of quality.
This equipment series that enables research with various reactor types includes the Tubular Reactor ReaktiLabX – 11. Examining the operation and behavior of a tubular reactor is possible in conjunction with the supply unit ReaktiLabX 11. The supply unit ReaktiLabX 11 is equipped with a heating water circuit, all required connections, pumps, reactant tanks, and a product tank.
The supply unit is used to mount the reactor, which is secured in place by two pins. The reactor may be quickly and easily connected to the supply unit using quick-release connections. The reactants are delivered into the reactor individually through each nozzle by the two pumps of the supply unit.
The two reactants are combined in the T-center pieces due to the placement of the nozzle outlets. The two reactants are introduced into the mixture, which then enters the helical tube. After leaving the tube, the combination of product and unconverted reactants is carried into a tank of the supply unit.
By varying the speed of the pumps on the supply unit, the retention duration of the reactants in the tubular reactor can be changed. The water bath also houses the tube. The supply unit’s heating water circuit is connected to the water bath, allowing the user to test the effect of temperature on the response.
The conductivity is measured to ascertain the conversion in this Tubular Reactor. It has a conductivity/temperature sensor that is combined. Temperature and conductivity are digitally shown.

Construction and Design
The Tubular Reactor ReaktiLabX – 11 uses a helical tube reactor, 6mm inside diameter, with a capacity of approximately 280mL, made of stainless steel or PA. Reactants are preheated using stainless steel coiled tubes before being combined at a T-piece fitted with 2 nozzles. The mixed reactants then enter the helical tube, housed in a PMMA water bath, 150mm outer diameter and 2L capacity, connected to the supply unit’s heating water circuit. The reactor is secured to the supply unit using two pins and connects via quick-release connections. Conductivity is measured by sampling at the inlet, center, and outlet of the reactor, using a combined conductivity and temperature sensor, with values digitally displayed on the supply unit.
