The Diffusion in Liquids and Gases ReaktiLabX – 01 (CRE-3301) studies microscopic mass transfer of particles like atoms, molecules, and ions occurring through diffusion due to changes in concentration. This Diffusion in Liquids and Gases apparatus includes two experimental devices for studying gas and liquid diffusion. It uses a concentrated salt solution for liquid diffusion and a volatile solvent for gas diffusion studies.
Product Overview
Due to changes in concentration, microscopic mass transfer of particles like atoms, molecules, and ions occurs through diffusion. It is critical to a number of processes. Diffusion, for instance, can assemble the components of chemical reactions, and it sometimes acts as the process’s rate-limiting phase. Two experimental devices for studying gas and liquid diffusion are included with CRE-3301.
A concentrated salt solution is used to study diffusion in liquids. A U-shaped tube holding the solution contains a disc at one end with a number of vertical capillaries. The capillary disc is positioned below the water’s surface when the U tube is submerged in a tank of demineralized water. The salt ions exit the U-tube through the capillaries and into the demineralized water due to the concentration difference between the water and the solution. The ions only flow in one dimension due to the capillaries. The presence of a stirrer in the tank prevents concentration variations in the tank by preventing the salt concentration from rising close to the disc. The amount of salt in the tank is measured using a conductivity meter.
A very volatile solvent is used to study diffusion in gases on this Diffusion in Liquids and Gases apparatus. A vertical tube containing the solvent is submerged in a hot water bath. The solvent evaporates as a result of the water bath’s thermal energy. At the tube’s upper end, an air flow created by a fan travels horizontally. Due to the concentration gradient from the liquid solvent’s surface up to the flow of pure air, the gaseous solvent diffuses. The solvent molecules are carried away by the air flow, maintaining a constant concentration at the tube’s upper end. Over time, the liquid solvent in the tube loses volume. It is possible to determine the level using a scale microscope. The temperature in the water bath is controlled by a heater.
The Diffusion in Liquids ReaktiLabX – 02 studies microscopic mass transfer of particles like atoms, molecules, and ions occurring through diffusion due to changes in concentration. This Diffusion in Liquids apparatus uses a concentrated salt solution and a U-shaped tube with capillaries to study diffusion behavior. Diffusion is critical to a number of processes, including assembling the components of chemical reactions.

The Corrosion Study Unit ReaktiLabX – 04 enables the simultaneous investigation of a number of variables that affect corrosion processes. This Corrosion Study Unit uses eight glass jars to compare various materials in a variety of settings, with samples submerged in the necessary electrolyte solution. It supports studies of sacrificial anodes, local components, and external voltage effects on corrosion.
Product Overview
The economic and technical costs of corrosion damage to metallic components are significant. This means that the topic of corrosion and corrosion protection is crucial to technical education. The equipment enables the simultaneous investigation of a number of variables that affect corrosion processes. This can be accomplished with eight glass jars. They enable the comparison of various materials in a variety of settings. We fill the jars with the necessary electrolyte solution.
Each vessel’s lid can hold up to six samples, which are then submerged in the solution. In order to study the concept of sacrificial anodes and local components, specimens might be connected to an electrical conductor. A connection to an external voltage is possible with an adjustable power supply on this Corrosion Study Unit.
This reverses the flow of precious and common metals in the local elements. The more basic metals corrode at a slower rate as a result. Whenever necessary, a pump introduces ambient air into the electrolyte solution. Each vessel’s gas flow rate can be customized using flow control valves. Additionally, additional gases from the lab may be injected into the electrolyte solution. The impact of the electrolyte solution on corrosion processes can be researched and compared using a pH meter.

The Ratchet Mechanism ProDynami 1374 demonstrates how ratchets limit rotary or linear motion to only one direction. This Ratchet Mechanism transmits intermittent rotary motion or permits a shaft to rotate in one direction but not in the opposite one.
Product Overview
The Ratchet Mechanism ProDynami 1374 is composed of three main parts: a round gear (or a linear rack), a pawl (also called a “click”), and a base (or mount). The geometry of the gear or rack is usually designed with a ramp feature on one side of the tooth leading to a sharp drop off, which restricts motion of the pawl when the linear or rotational direction is reversed. Most ratchet mechanisms are not very large, as only a small vertical wall is needed to prevent motion in one direction. The apparatus gives detailed information including the working of the ratchet mechanism. The apparatus is movable and very easy to use. This Ratchet Mechanism is fitted on a Bakelite base board with rubber feet.
The Whirling of Shaft ProDynami 1260 demonstrates the concept of whirling in shafts and visualizes its effects in heavy rotating machinery. This Whirling of Shaft apparatus shows how transverse vibration is produced when a shaft rotates, and how centrifugal forces cause vibration when the shaft is out of balance.
Product Overview
The Whirling of Shaft ProDynami 1260 shows that if the rotation of the shaft equals the natural oscillation of the shaft, vibrations are multiplied. In heavy machinery this phenomenon is very dangerous and must be controlled. The apparatus consists of a number of shafts of different lengths and diameters, a center support for the shaft, and an end support. The shaft is coupled with a motor, and motor speed can be varied to inspect vibrations at various speeds. The modes of oscillation and resonances of rotors with continuous mass distribution can be clearly demonstrated using this unit. Thin, elastic rotor shafts made of high-strength steel make the oscillatory phenomena easy to understand. A range of shaft diameters and the free choice of bearing arrangement allow a wide variety of experiments. Adapters in the bearings compensate for different diameters. Catch bearings limit the amplitude of the oscillation. The freedom of movement of the rotor is assured by an elastic coupling. A Laval rotor with discrete mass distribution can be assembled using a mass disc. As a supplement to this unit, a set of vibration sensors is available. These enable the path of the rotor to be displayed on an oscilloscope. This Whirling of Shaft apparatus is a self-contained, bench top unit for demonstrating critical rotational speeds.

Product Overview
The Static and Dynamic Balancing ProDynami 1268 consists of a shaft supported by bearings on both ends. Four masses are present on this shaft, which can slide on the shaft and attain different angles. A pulley is present on one side of the shaft, connecting it to a motor so the shaft can be rotated. Two buckets, a detachable pulley and metallic balls are also included to find the unbalance in static position due to rotating masses. The motor is powered via a function generator. The main element of the bench top unit is a smooth shaft to which four variable unbalance weights can be attached at any angle or distance. The rotor is supported horizontally in ball bearings and driven by a speed-controlled motor. Speed is measured electronically and shown on a digital display. For determination of the unbalance weight by measuring the balance of moments, the driving belt can be removed. Different weights dragging on the pulley can exert defined moments to the shaft, which can be compared with those caused by unbalance weights when rotating. A transparent hood prevents contact with the rotating parts and provides a good view of the rotor. Fastening of the supporting base with elastic elements neutralizes undesirable vibrations. This Static and Dynamic Balancing unit illustrates the fundamentals of static and dynamic balancing on a benchtop scale.

The Rack and Pinion ProDynami – 1338 is a type of linear actuator comprising a pair of gears which convert rotational motion into linear motion. This Rack and Pinion apparatus uses a circular gear, the pinion, to engage teeth on a linear gear bar, the rack, translating rotational motion into linear motion. The rack and pinion arrangement is commonly found in the steering mechanism of cars or other wheeled steered vehicles.
Product Overview
A rack and pinion is a type of linear actuator that comprises a pair of gears which convert rotational motion into linear motion. A circular gear called “the pinion” engages teeth on a linear “gear” bar called “the rack”; rotational motion applied to the pinion causes the rack to move, thereby translating the rotational motion of the pinion into the linear motion of the rack. The rack and pinion arrangement is commonly found in the steering mechanism of cars or other wheeled steered vehicles.
This Rack and Pinion arrangement provides a lesser mechanical advantage than other mechanisms such as recirculating ball, but much less backlash and greater feedback or steering “feel.” The use of a variable rack (still using a normal pinion) was invented by Arthur Ernest Bishop so as to improve vehicle response and steering “feel” especially at high speeds.

The Differential-Crownwheel & Pinion ProDynami – 1366 demonstrates the action of a differential when a vehicle takes a curve and the external wheel must travel a greater distance than the internal wheel. This Differential-Crownwheel and Pinion apparatus shows how the crown-wheel and pinion elements enable independent motion between shafts while allowing coupling between both parts. It simulates the differential mechanism that lets drive wheels rotate at different speeds.
Product Overview
When a vehicle takes a curve, the external wheel must travel a greater distance than the internal wheel. The shaft is divided to enable the wheels of a same shaft to have different speeds, guaranteeing the coupling of both parts with the differential. It is difficult for many students to visualize the action of a differential when used to provide a drive from the gearbox to each shaft, allowing at the same time an independent motion between the shafts. This Differential-Crownwheel and Pinion unit has been designed to demonstrate the action of the elements of a differential: the crown-wheel and the pinion.
The unit simulates a differential mechanism. The function of the differential mechanism is to enable the drive wheels to rotate at different speeds, regardless of whether they are the front or rear wheels. When the vehicle is travelling in a straight line, the differential must behave as if it were rigid and make both wheels rotate at the same speed. This means that in this situation the sun gears do not spin around their own axis; in other words, they act as wedges to transmit the motion of the crown. Therefore, the differential allows torque to be provided to either both wheels or only one wheel. When both wheels have the same load, the differential supplies the same torque to both of them, but when one of them supports a greater load than the other, then motion is distributed uniformly.
The input pinion transfers the power to the crown. That motion of the crown drives the sun gears, and they, rotating together with the crownwheel, transfer the power to the planetary gears. The planetary gears at the same time transfer the power to the output shafts, allowing them to rotate at the same or different speed.
The unit is mounted on a frame consisting of aluminum profiles with a panel made of painted steel with legs that enable it to be located on an appropriate surface. It also includes brackets that allow the unit to be hung on a wall. Gears are distributed on different shafts (input shaft, right output shaft, and left output shaft), which are mounted on ball bearings that allow low inertia and a decrease of the losses due to friction. Both the input shaft and the output shafts have pulleys equipped with protractors, enabling the student to determine and verify the torque and speed ratios on this Differential-Crownwheel and Pinion apparatus. They are made of aluminum and their radius is 40mm.
The Ball Mill Solidra – 02 is a form of mill with grinding bodies, featuring drums that open at the front for loading material and milling balls. This Ball Mill uses drums mounted on a drive roller and a loose roller with adjustable spacing between the axles. It demonstrates cascade and cataract motion states, observable through transparent drum fronts.
Product Overview
Ball mills are a form of mills with grinding bodies. The drums can be opened at the front and loaded with the material to be milled (limestone is recommended) and the milling balls. The drums are mounted on a drive roller and a loose roller with adjustable spacing between the axles. At low rotation speeds the comminution is affected by the balls rolling over the material (cascade motion).
At higher speeds, some balls are lifted up the wall, become detached and drop down onto the material (cataract motion). Above the critical speed, centrifugal forces ensure that no more comminution takes place. These motion states can be observed through the transparent fronts of the drums on this Ball Mill. In order to compare the theoretical power demand with the actual, the power consumption of the drive motor is indicated on a digital display.

The Principle of Wedge Apparatus ProDynami – 1272 gives detailed information including the working of the wedge type lever. This Principle of Wedge Apparatus is fitted on a Bakelite base board which can be bolted to a wall easily. It demonstrates how a wedge concentrates force over a smaller area to increase pressure and split material apart.
Product Overview
A lever is the simplest machine of all. It’s just a long bar that helps you exert a bigger force when you turn it. The force you apply with your weight is called the effort. Thanks to the fulcrum it produces a bigger force to lift the load. The important thing to remember about levers is that the force you produce is bigger than the force you apply.
Ramps are sometimes known as wedges. The head of an axe is a wedge working in a different way. An axe forces wood apart in two ways. The handle works like a lever magnifying the force you apply. The wedge-shaped blade concentrates the force over a smaller area increasing the pressure on the wood and splitting it apart.
The blade of a knife works the same way. Wedge in mechanics is a device that tapers to a thin edge, usually made of metal or wood, and used for splitting, lifting, or tightening, as to secure a hammer head onto its handle. Along with the lever, wheel and axle, pulley, and screw, the wedge is considered one of the five simple machines.
The wedge was used in prehistoric times to split logs and rocks. For rocks, wooden wedges caused to swell by wetting were employed. In terms of its mechanical function, the screw may be thought of as a wedge wrapped around a cylinder.
The Principle of Wedge Apparatus gives detailed information including the working of the wedge type lever. The apparatus is fitted on the Bakelite base board which can be bolted to wall easily.

The Tray Dryer NutriForge – 04 explains the fundamentals of hot air tray drying using a rectangular duct with an axial flow fan. This Tray Dryer draws air through a bank of electric heaters and over a rack of trays held on a balance. It records temperature and humidity before and after the drying trays.
Product Overview
This unit explains the fundamentals of hot air tray drying. The device is made out of a rectangular duct. An axial flow fan at the left end of the duct draws air into the space. Fan speed can be changed. After the fan, a bank of electric heaters enhances the air’s temperature. Above the duct, a balance holds a rack of trays in the air. Before and after the drying trays, temperatures and humidity are recorded.
In food technology, convection dryers are frequently used to dry solids. Convection drying of granular particles can be studied and shown using the Tray Dryer. The solid can be dried using four removable pans that resist rusting. They are put in a canal for drying. The drying material is placed in trays that are exposed to an air flow in a channel. The solid is heated by the air flow, which also draws out any released moisture. The speed of a fan can be changed to change the air velocity. The air can be heated with a variable heater. The drying process may be seen thanks to the transparent door in the drying channel.
A digital balance can be used to monitor variations in the solid’s weight brought on by the evaporation or vaporisation of moisture while it is in use. Before and after the air flow passes over the solid, a single combined temperature and humidity sensor measures the air temperature and relative humidity and digitally displays the results. The air velocity is measured by another sensor.
Direct transfer to a PC of the pertinent measured parameters (changes in weight, humidity, temperature, and air velocity) allows for additional processing (optional). The comprehensive course materials outline the foundations and offer a step-by-step walkthrough of the experiments.
The Plate & Frame Filter Press NutriForge – 03 is employed in the beverage sector to clarify intermediate products. This Plate & Frame Filter Press separates water and diatomite suspension into distinct separating chambers formed by filter frames and filter plates. It collects filtrate through grooved plates and filter cloths while building up a filter cake.
Product Overview
To clarify intermediate products, plate and frame filter presses are employed in the beverage sector.
In a tank, water and diatomite suspension are made (recommended). A pump makes sure the solid doesn’t settle and stays in suspension. The plate and frame filter press’s distinct separating chambers receive the suspension from the pump. One filter frame and two filter plates combine to create a separating chamber. Filter cloths are placed on top of the grooved filter plates. The filtrate travels through the filter cloth and into a collecting pipe through the grooves in the plates. Through the collecting pipe, the filtrate leaves the plate and frame filter press and is collected in the filtrate tank.
The filter cloth is where the solid material is split off, where it grows into a filter cake. The filter cake’s flow resistance rises as it gets thicker. The filtration procedure is completed when the separating chamber is filled or a maximum pressure difference has been attained. The plates and frames of this Plate & Frame Filter Press are separated so the filter cake can be taken out. The plates and frames need to be pressed back together for the subsequent filtration. They are pressed together using a spindle. The push pressures make sure that the suspension is forced through the filter cloth and not leaked from the contact points between the plates and frames.
A valve controls the flow rate through the plate and frame filter press. On a manometer, the pressure that is experienced during filtration is displayed. Scaling exists in the filtrate tank. This implies that the flow rate can be determined using a timer. The solid concentration of the filtrate may be evaluated thanks to an incorporated opacimeter. The tests should be evaluated in a drying chamber.

This Double Drum Dryer supplies liquid into the space formed by two rotating drums, where a knife scrapes out the dry product. It is delivered fully assembled and prepared for site service hookup.
Product Overview
The device can be used for product development or instructional purposes, ideally showing students the various uses for drum drying and flaking. The machinery is delivered fully assembled and prepared for site service hookup.
The liquid that needs to be dried is supplied into the space formed by the two drums, where it is applied to the rotating drums. On each drum, a knife is used to scrape out the dry product. The stainless steel used in the unit’s construction ensures cleanliness and chemical resistance. In order to assure maximum heat transfer and the capacity to scale up results to production-sized equipment, the drums are made of cast iron and engineering hard chrome coated. The control panel’s electrical inverter controls the shaft-mounted primary drive speed.

The Spray Dryer NutriForge – 01 minimizes potential contamination through its spray assembly structure and design, resulting in a free-flowing, nearly spherical powder. This Spray Dryer delivers substance in liquid form and dries it into a fine powder with little thermal shock. It supports agglomeration, micro-encapsulation, and englobulation techniques.
Product Overview
The spray assembly’s structure and design minimize any potential contamination and result in a free-flowing, nearly spherical powder. The substance is delivered in liquid form during the spray-drying process and leaves as a dry, fine powder.
There is little thermal shock. The procedure, which involves using filmogen to bind the fine product into tiny balls, can be utilized for powder coating (agglomeration). Micro-encapsulation and englobulation are two other techniques where spray drying is effective.
A heated air stream is in contact with a fine jet of the liquid to be dried. This drives the solid particles into the cyclone separator while also evaporating the spray moisture. The exhaust vapor is sent to the outside atmosphere or a fume/dust extractor, and the solids are collected in a sample jar at the foot of the cyclone. This design is central to how the Spray Dryer achieves consistent powder quality.
The Multifunction Distillation Column OperatiX – 05 separates soluble liquid mixtures of two different liquids through distillation. This Multifunction Distillation Column uses a recommended ethanol and water mixture, poured into the boiler’s evaporator tank, to generate low-temperature liquid vapor that climbs the column. It supports interchangeable columns for batch, continuous, and vacuum distillation modes.
Product Overview
Distillation is a process used to separate soluble liquid mixtures of two different liquids. It is recommended to use a liquid mixture of ethanol and water in this equipment. The liquid combination is poured into the boiler’s evaporator tank. Typically, a mixer consists of two parts with distinct boiling points. The resultant low-temperature liquid vapor climbs the column. The component with the lower boiling point is concentrated more in the combined vapor (ethanol). A condenser and a phase separation tank are used to condense it once it exits the top of the column.
The remainder of the condensate is sent back into the column as reflux while a portion is collected in a tank as product. As it falls, it continues to be heated and exchanges materials with the rising mixed vapor. As a result of this exchange, the liquid phase gains more water and the vapor phase gains more ethanol. The liquid phase descends and collects at the bottom, hence discontinuous rectification.
A large, clear process schematic on the switch cabinet makes it easy to assign all the process variables of this Multifunction Distillation Column.
The Continuous Distillation Column Apparatus OperatiX – 06 uses rectification, a fundamental thermal separation technique, to separate homogeneous liquid mixtures in the industrial sector. This Continuous Distillation Column Apparatus works with interchangeable columns, including sieve tray, bubble cap tray, packed, valve tray, and structured packing types. It supports feed at three different heights with heat exchanger preheating.
Product Overview
Rectification is a fundamental thermal separation technique used in the industrial sector to separate homogeneous liquid mixtures, such as when separating crude oil. Rectification is an energy-efficient distillation method that is carried out in a series of steps.
The sieve tray column, the bubble cap tray column, the packed column, the valve tray column, and structured packing column are all interchangeable with this unit. Three different heights can be used to feed the columns with the separating liquid combination. With the use of a heat exchanger, the feed can be preheated. For this device, a liquid mixture of ethanol and water is recommended.
On the way to the bottom of the column, where it is electrically heated to boiling, the fed liquid mixture partially evaporates. The resulting mixed vapour then ascends the column. The component with the lower boiling point (ethanol) is present in larger concentration in the combined vapour. It emerges from the column’s peak and undergoes condenser condensation. The remainder of this condensate is sent back into the column as reflux, with some of it being collected in a tank. It engages in a significant heat and material exchange with the rising mixed vapour as it descends. As a result of this exchange, the liquid phase gains more water and the vapour phase gains more ethanol. Liquid phase descends to bottom and can be collected in tanks.
Optionally sensor data can be transferred to the computer for processing if desired. Additionally, the optional software enables recording and saving data in PC via USB/LAN. The comprehensive course materials outline the foundations and offer a step-by-step overview of the experiments for this Continuous Distillation Column Apparatus.
The Batch Distillation Column Apparatus OperatiX – 04 separates liquid mixtures comprised of distinct liquids that are soluble in one another via distillation. This Batch Distillation Column Apparatus is fed with a recommended ethanol and water mixture, which partially evaporates as it heats on the way to the bottom of the column. It supports batch rectification with different types of columns available as optional.
Product Overview
Liquid mixtures comprised of distinct liquids that are soluble in one another are separated via distillation. Distillation in a counterflow is referred to as rectification.
The recommended liquid mixture for our distillation column system is ethanol and water. The column is fed with it. On the way to the bottom of the column, when it is heated to boiling, it partially evaporates. The created mixed vapour then ascends the column. The component with the lower boiling point is concentrated more in the combined vapour (ethanol). A condenser and a phase separation tank are used to condense it once it exits the top of the column. The remainder of this condensate is fed back into the column while a portion is collected in a tank as a product.
It continues to heat up and interchange materials with the rising mixed vapour here as it descends. As a result of this exchange, the liquid phase gains more water and the vapour phase gains more ethanol. Two tanks can be used to collect the liquid phase, which settles to the bottom.
There are different columns available as optional for this Batch Distillation Column Apparatus. Sensitive values are measured, displayed, and other parts, including temperatures, can be controlled by moving the temperature controller to the top or bottom of the column.
Optionally sensor data can be transferred to the computer for processing if desired. Additionally, the optional software enables recording and saving data on a PC via USB/LAN. The comprehensive course materials outline the foundations and offer a step-by-step overview of the experiments.
The Fluidization and Fluid Bed Heat Exchanger OperatiX – 03 gives students a visual understanding of air flow through both packed and fluidized beds of granular material. This Fluidization and Fluid Bed Heat Exchanger contains bed material in a glass container fitted with an electrical heater. It uses air as the fluidizing medium, supported by an air distributor-equipped distribution chamber.
Product Overview
The process of crystallization is typically used to clean up substances so that the components of a solution may be separated. To crystallize a solute, a solution must achieve a supersaturated state. A substance, referred to as a solute, must be dissolved in a solution to the point where the solution is unable to dissolve any more solute. To create a supersaturated solution, one of several techniques can be employed.
For students to have a visual knowledge of the flow of air through both a packed and a fluidized bed of granular material, the Fluidization and Fluid Bed Heat Transfer Unit has been created. The bed material is primarily contained in a glass container inside of which is an electrical heater. The chamber has an air distributor-equipped distribution chamber. For the measurements of temperature, pressure, and flow rate, instruments are available. The fluidizing medium in the device is air.
A glass cylinder with a bed of a selected granular substance makes up the Fluidization and Fluid Bed Heat Exchanger. A distributor chamber with an air distributor supports the bed material at the bottom end of the glass chamber. The air distributor minimizes pressure loss while maintaining a consistent airflow into the bed. For student projects and other research, a self-designed distributor can take the place of the distributor. Air exits the bed through an air filter, travels through the chamber, and then leaves the bed. The brackets attached on the panel are used to suspend the chamber, filter, and distributor assembly.
Before entering the distribution chamber, air from the nearby compressed air supply is routed through a filter/pressure regulator, airflow rotameters, and air flow control valves. The heater input power is shown on the control panel, and a variable transformer is supplied for controlling the heating power. A thermocouple is installed on the heating element to measure the surface temperature of the heater. Digital readouts of each relevant temperature are shown on the control panel. A manometer with liquid inside of it measures the pressure decrease at any point along the bed. Additionally, the chamber is equipped with a pressure relief device that releases air into the atmosphere whenever the chamber’s pressure rises above the permitted level. The bed material can be simply changed according to the unit’s architecture. The unit comes with four grades of Fused Alumina (Aluminum Oxide) loose grains that can be utilized for a variety of fluidization and heat transfer investigations.
The Batch Cooling Crystallization Apparatus OperatiX – 02 carries out batch crystallization by filling the crystallizer once with solute and solvent to obtain a supersaturated solution and crystals. This Batch Cooling Crystallization Apparatus studies the cooling crystallization process of substances whose solubility varies with temperature. It includes a jacketed glass crystallizer, stirrer, and temperature and conductivity sensors.
Product Overview
The process of crystallization is typically used to clean up substances so that the components of a solution may be separated. To crystallize a solute, a solution must achieve a supersaturated state. A substance, referred to as a solute, must be dissolved in a solution to the point where the solution is unable to dissolve any more solute.
To create a supersaturated solution, one of several techniques can be employed: by evaporation, by cooling, or by adding aggregates. It is a cooling crystallization unit, the Crystallization Unit. As a result, experiments on crystallization can be carried out using constituents whose solubility varies with temperature. The cooling method’s reduced energy costs are one of its key benefits.
A reactor used for crystallization is known as a crystallizer. A crystallizer can be run continuously or in batches. The study of the cooling crystallization process of substances whose solubility varies with temperature is the focus of this section. This Batch Cooling Crystallization Apparatus is designed to carry out batch crystallization, which entails filling the crystallizer once with the solute and solvent before obtaining a supersaturated solution and crystals from it.
A crystallizer, which is essentially a jacketed chemical reactor, is part of this apparatus. The reaction temperature is managed by a bath located outside the crystallizer. A stirrer that is situated on the upper side of the crystallizer stirs the fluid. The temperature of the solution inside the crystallizer can always be determined thanks to a temperature sensor on the upper side of the device. The device also has a conductivity sensor, which can be used to determine the solution’s conductivity as necessary.
Heating is needed to dissolve a higher concentration of solute at high temperatures in order to create the supersaturated solution. Water for the crystallizer’s jacket is supplied by a thermostatic bath. Its control may be carried out using software (optional) or a PID. The crystallization stage begins when a supersaturated solution at a high temperature is attained. Cold or room temperature water is introduced for that function. A pressure regulating valve that maintains the minimum pressure is part of the device. With the filter set included with the machine, a sample of the collected product is examined, which can be used to determine the size of created crystals. Additionally, the device can function as a continuous feeding unit and operate as a continuous crystallization unit.
The Continuous Cooling Crystallization Apparatus OperatiX – 01 shows how cooling crystallization solidifies and separates dissolved compounds from solutions. This Continuous Cooling Crystallization Apparatus circulates a saturated potassium sulphate solution and chills a bypass portion through a crystallization cell to induce crystallization. It uses a fluidized bed process to grow crystals at seed crystals in the cell.
Product Overview
Crystallization makes it possible to solidify and separate dissolved compounds from solutions. This training tool was created to show how cooling crystallization works. In a circuit with a tank, a pump distributes a saturated potassium sulphate solution. The solution is heated using a heating circuit above saturation temperature to stop early crystallization. Two heat exchangers link the two circuits.
A tiny portion of this undersaturated solution is delivered as a bypass through the crystallization cell. This portion of the solution is chilled by chilling water using two heat exchangers, causing it to crystallize. The solution enters a state of oversaturation and metastability when the temperature is lowered.
The crystallization cell is a tube whose inlet and outflow both have porous filter material installed. The detachable cell can be opened to let seed crystals be added. The porous filter media are chosen in a way that prevents crystals from escaping outside of the cell. In the cell, the flow conditions result in a fluidized bed. At the seed crystals, the dissolved potassium sulphate crystallizes from the metastable solution. Crystals develop. Weighing the crystals before and after the experiment, along with timing, can both be used to calculate the growth rate.
A saturated potassium sulphate solution can be made in a stirred tank with a heat exchanger. Sensors are used to record and regulate the temperatures in the two tanks as well as the temperature needed for crystallization in the bypass, a key control point on this Continuous Cooling Crystallization Apparatus.
For analyzing the experiments, instruments including a drying chamber, a balance, a screening machine, and a microscope are advised. There is no potassium sulphate present.
The Adsorption Apparatus OperatiX – 13 shows how adsorption can be used to remove dissolved materials from raw water. This Adsorption Apparatus moves water through two activated carbon absorbers in a closed circuit using a pump. It allows adjustment of adsorbate concentration and contact time to study adsorption behavior.
Product Overview
This device shows how adsorption can be used to remove dissolved materials. The compounds that are dissolved in the raw water during adsorption are referred to as adsorbate. Water is moved by a pump from a tank to two activated carbon absorbers in a circuit. The first Adsorber receives treated water from the pump. Using a metering pump, a concentrated adsorbate solution is injected into the stream of treated water.
The raw water produced in this way enters the Adsorber and flows through the activated carbon fixed bed. Here the adsorbate adsorbs on the activated carbon. To remove any quantities of adsorbate still present from the water, the water then flows through a second Adsorber, the safety Adsorber. The treated water is returned to the feed line of the first Adsorber where concentrated adsorbate solution is added once again.
As a result, the water circuit is closed. Both pumps’ flow rates can be changed. This Adsorption Apparatus allows the following parameters to be varied: concentration of the adsorbate in the raw water, and contact time of the raw water with the activated carbon.
The temperature of the water can be regulated, making it possible to examine how adsorption is impacted by temperature. Pressure, temperature, and flow rate are all continuously monitored. Plotting of breakthrough curves and concentration profiles is possible thanks to the placement of the sampling points. Technology for analysis is needed to assess the experiments. The adsorbate being employed determines the analysis technology to be used.
The Gas Absorption/Desorption Column Apparatus OperatiX – 12 studies mass transfer from a gaseous phase to a liquid phase (absorption) and the reverse (desorption). This Gas Absorption/Desorption Column Apparatus uses a solvent to remove gaseous components from a gas flow through absorption and stripping. It processes a CO2 and air gas combination with adjustable mixing ratios.
Product Overview
The mass transfer from a gaseous phase to a liquid phase (absorption) and the reverse (desorption) can be studied using this absorption and stripping system.
Using a solvent, absorption is used to remove one or more gaseous components from a gas flow. A CO2 and air gas combination is first created. Utilizing valves, the mixing ratio can be changed. The display shows the gas component flow rates.
The gas mixture is delivered by a compressor into the absorption column’s lower part. A portion of the CO2 is separated in the column while flowing against the solvent. The solvent used is water. The water moving downwards absorbs the CO2. The charged water is then supplied from the lower part of the absorption column into a desorption column to separate the absorbed CO2.
The solubility of the CO2 decreases as the temperature rises and the pressure decreases. Water is heated using a heater. In the desorption column, a vacuum pump creates negative pressure, which causes the CO2 gas to escape from the water. The regenerated solvent is then pumped back into the absorption column.
Temperature of the water can be regulated. Pressure, temperature, and flow rate are all continuously monitored. The two-section column has connections that can be used to calculate pressure losses. Using two U-tube manometers, the pressure loss in the corresponding parts may be shown. The Gas Absorption/Desorption Column Apparatus has outlets for collecting liquid and gas samples so that the procedure’s effectiveness may be assessed. The samples of gas can be examined.
The comprehensive course materials outline the foundations and offer a step-by-step walkthrough of the experiments.
The Liquid/Liquid Extraction Apparatus OperatiX – 11 demonstrates the separation of two liquid mixes to be separated. This Liquid/Liquid Extraction Apparatus pumps the liquid mixture from a feed tank to the base of the extraction column, where it flows counter-current to the solvent pumped into the top. It can be run as a continuous or discontinuous process using two three-way valves.
Product Overview
The separation of two liquid mixes to be separated is demonstrated by the liquid/liquid extraction device. A pump transfers the liquid mixture to be separated from the feed tank to the base of the extraction column. There, it flows against the flow in the direction of the solvent, which is pumped into the top of the extraction column.
The mixture that needs to be separated consists of a carrier liquid and a transitional substance. Because the solvent and the carrier liquid are insoluble in one another, a phase boundary forms in the column. Two valves can be used to examine and modify this. Inside the column, the transition component moves from the carrier liquid into the solvent. The trainer can be run as a continuous or discontinuous process using two three-way valves.
The enrichment of the transition component in the extract is made easier by a distillation unit. This consists of a packed column and a distillation bridge with a condenser in a heated round-bottomed flask. At the top of the column, the enriched extract exits and is collected in a tank. A sensor measures the temperature at the bottom, which is then digitally displayed and controlled by a PID controller. Additionally, the temperature at the distillation column’s top is gauged. The transition component, which collects at the bottom of the unit and can be extracted as a product, has the solvent removed using distillation. The solvent that has been separated is gathered in a tank and can be used again for extraction.
Rapeseed oil is suggested as the carrier liquid, ethanol as the transition element, and water as the solvent for a ternary material system.

The Solid-Liquid Extraction OperatiX – 10 enables the use of a rotating extractor to extract a soluble component from a solid mixture. This Solid-Liquid Extraction unit operates in continuous three-stage mode, using distilled water as the solvent applied to the extraction material. It supports both continuous and discontinuous extraction processes.
Product Overview
The Solid-Liquid Extraction OperatiX – 10 enables the use of a rotating extractor to extract a soluble component from a solid mixture. In the continuous three-stage mode, distilled water serving as the only solvent is provided from a tank to the first extraction stage’s sprayer, where it is applied to the solid combination (extraction material).
Potassium hydrogen carbonate, one of the substance’s soluble components, is absorbed by the solvent as it permeates the extraction material and enters the collecting segments. The following stage’s sprinkler receives the enhanced solvent from there. The extract, the solvent charged with the extracted component, is gathered in the extract tank after completing the final step. A spiral conveyor feeds the extraction material constantly into the revolving extractor’s cells.
The solvent and the extraction substance flow in opposite directions. After one rotation of the extractor, the extraction residue falls into a tank. To move between a 1- or 2-stage continuous mode, valves are used. When the extractor is halted, discontinuous mode is possible.
It is possible to supply the solvent using three pumps. For each stage, their speed can be changed individually. With PID controls, the temperature of the solvent can also be changed for each stage. Conductivity sensors are included in each stage to track the separation procedure. Software allows for viewing of all measured values (optional). This Solid-Liquid Extraction setup requires the solid combination to be prepared before the experiment: a salt solution is supplied to the carrier material, granular aluminum oxide, using potassium hydrogen carbonate dissolved in water. The carrier material is then dried after being soaked in the salt solution.
The Structured Packing Column OperatiX – 09 uses materials expressly engineered for absorption and distillation applications. This Structured Packing Column is built with corrugated metal plates or gauzes arranged to force fluids along convoluted paths, creating high surface area for contact between phases. It is constructed with a glass column body for laboratory use.
Product Overview
The expression structured packing refers to a class of materials that have been expressly engineered for use in absorption and distillation columns. Structured packing is often made up of tiny corrugated metal plates or gauzes that are placed in such a way that fluids are forced to travel convoluted courses through the column, resulting in a high surface area for contact between distinct phases.
Corrugated sheets of perforated embossed metal or wire gauze are used to make structured packing. As a result, the structure is quite open, with sloped flow channels and a relatively high surface area yet very little resistance to gas movement. This design is central to how the Structured Packing Column achieves efficient mass transfer.
Surface enhancements were chosen to maximize liquid distribution. In low pressure and low irrigation rate applications, these traits tend to provide significant performance improvements.
The Valve Tray Column OperatiX – 14 uses liftable caps that self-adjust in accordance with vapor flow to cover the apertures in its trays. This Valve Tray Column prevents liquid from dripping at low vapor rates by closing off the tray valves. It expands the region open to vapor flow as the vapor rate rises.
Product Overview
Liftable caps that self-adjust in accordance with the vapor flow are used to cover the apertures in valve trays. By closing off at a low vapor rate, tray valves or caps prevent liquid from dripping from the tray. The valve lifts as the vapor rate rises, expanding the region that is open to vapor flow.
Vapor flow can change the apertures of valve trays, allowing the trays to function over a wide range of flow rates with great separation efficiency and significant flexibility. This is a key characteristic of the Valve Tray Column design.
Since the valve tends to close as the gas flow decreases, the valve plate is made to minimize this drainage, or “weeping,” with the total orifice area shifting to maintain a dynamic-pressure balance across the plate. The trays’ valves can be stationary or movable. The movable valves adjust themselves in response to the vapors streaming up through the tray holes, while the fixed valves remain open permanently.
The Bubble Cap Tray Column OperatiX – 08 allows liquid and vapor to contact as vapor rises through the tower and passes through bubble caps. This Bubble Cap Tray Column uses riser and cap assemblies on each tray to direct vapor downward and bubble it into the surrounding liquid. It is built with a glass construction for laboratory use.
Product Overview
In bubble cap trays, liquid and vapor are in contact as the vapor rises through the tower and passes through the bubble caps. A riser and a cap are the two parts of each bubble cap assembly. In order to bubble into the liquid surrounding the cap, the vapor rising through the column is turned downward after passing through the riser in the tray floor.
Trays with bubble caps are not meant to weep. However, compared to valve trays or sieve trays, bubble cap trays are also more expensive and have a lesser capacity and higher pressure drop. This Bubble Cap Tray Column demonstrates these characteristics directly.
The Packed Column OperatiX – 15 is designed for distillation, especially with heat-sensitive substances or low pressure vacuum distillation operations. This Packed Column uses a cylindrical shell fitted with support plates and packing material to provide mass transfer interfacial area. It is built with a glass construction for laboratory use.
Product Overview
Packed columns are helpful for distillation, especially when working with heat-sensitive substances or when low pressure operations, such as vacuum distillation, are required. A packed column is made up of support plates inside of a cylindrical shell.
Some kind of packing, which rests on the support plate, is placed inside the cylindrical shell. The packing material provides a substantial mass transfer interfacial area.
The height equal to one theoretical plate (HETP) measures a packing’s capacity to influence desirable mass transfer between the gas and liquid phases. This is a common unit of measurement used when evaluating a Packed Column.
The Sieve Tray Column OperatiX – 07 is a cross-flow plate column of the sieve tray variety, built for vapor-liquid contact demonstration. This Sieve Tray Column uses perforated trays to allow vapor to bubble uniformly through liquid as it moves across the tray floor. It is constructed with a glass column body for visual observation of tray operation.
Product Overview
The simplest variety of cross-flow plate is the sieve plate. The tray has perforations on the tray deck and small, round holes throughout. Through the tiny holes in the tray’s bottom, vapor rises and uniformly bubbles through the liquid. The liquid then moves across the tray floor, over the weir, and into the tray below through the downcomer.
The tray’s holes create the appearance of several orifices. The liquid is prevented from draining through the perforations by the vapor velocity. Downcomers and weirs move the liquid flow to the overflow mechanism on the plate’s side from the tower.
The upward-flowing motion of the gas prevents liquid from flowing through the sieve tray holes in sieve plates. When the gas flow is low, part or all of the liquid may drain through the perforations and effectively bypass areas of the contacting zone. This is referred to as weeping.
A tray’s purpose is to combine vapor and liquid to generate a foam. Vapors rise through the tray sieve holes, where they make direct contact with the liquid. The fluid on the tray is a froth or foam-like blend of vapor and liquid. On the tray and in the downcomer, this foam should break back into a vapor and a liquid. If the foam from a downcomer cannot drain fast onto the tray below, the foamy liquid will back up onto the tray above. This is known as flooding. This behavior can be studied directly on the Sieve Tray Column.

The Water Cooling Tower ThermoFlux-7083 is a benchtop forced-draught cooling tower trainer for investigating the thermodynamic principles of evaporative cooling, heat transfer, and air-water interaction in a counter-flow packed column arrangement. This water cooling tower apparatus includes a stainless steel load tank with 3 kW total heating capacity, a transparent acrylic packed column, a centrifugal fan, and a comprehensive sensor suite measuring air and water temperatures, relative humidity, airflow rate, water flow rate, and pressure drop across the packing. Process data is displayed digitally and can be transmitted to a PC via LAN or USB.
Product Overview
The Water Cooling Tower ThermoFlux-7083 replicates the operating principles of industrial cooling towers as used in heavy industry, power plants, and air conditioning systems at a safe, observable laboratory scale. Hot water from a 14 L stainless steel load tank, heated by two 1 kW cartridge heaters (total cooling load 3 kW), is circulated by a centrifugal pump through a flowmeter to the top of the packed column, where it is evenly distributed over the top packing deck. The standard column is constructed from clear acrylic with a 150 x 150 mm square cross-section, 600 mm height, and eight levels of inclined packing with nine fins per level, giving a total effective packing area of 0.1413 to 1.1448 m2 and a specific surface of 100 m2/m3. As water trickles downward through the packing, air drawn upward by a blower-type centrifugal fan (max. 145 m3/h, 3000 rpm) removes heat through convection and evaporation. Airflow rate is adjustable via an intake damper. Water evaporated during the cooling process is automatically replenished from a 2 L make-up tank with float valve, ensuring steady-state operation. The column assembly is topped with a sharp-edged orifice, a droplet arrester, and a water distribution system. Temperature sensors monitor inlet and outlet water temperatures and make-up tank water temperature (4 x Type, -100 to 400°C range). Dry bulb temperature and relative humidity are measured at both air inlet and outlet (2 x 0 to 100°C, 2 x 0 to 100% RH). An analogue/digital differential manometer (digital standard: 0 to 8000 Pa; analogue option: -0.5 to 3 in WC) measures pressure drop across the packing and, together with the orifice, determines airflow rate. A flowmeter covers 0 to 7 L/min for water flow measurement. A temperature sensor and controller in the load tank prevent overheating, and a level switch shuts off the heater at low water level. A psychrometric diagram is used to illustrate changes in air conditions during experiments. This water cooling tower trainer transmits process data to a PC via LAN or USB; data capture software is not included but can be ordered separately. Optional Software ThermoFlux-7083SW, developed in National Instruments LabVIEW, provides DAQ-based measurement and results calculation on any Windows operating system, with electronic sensors included when the software option is selected. Four optional column variants (Types B, C, D, E) with varying surface areas are available as accessories.
The Flow Boiling Demonstration ThermoFlux-7091 is a laboratory unit for observing and investigating the full spectrum of flow boiling and evaporation phases that occur in heated pipes, as found in water-tube boilers. This flow boiling demonstration apparatus uses a double-wall glass evaporation pipe to make all phase transitions directly visible, from single-phase liquid flow through bubbly, slug, annular, film boiling, drop, and single-phase vapour flow. A 2 kW heater, circulating pump, water jet pump, vapour collector, and copper coil condenser form a complete, self-contained evaporation circuit mounted on a laboratory trolley.
Product Overview
The Flow Boiling Demonstration ThermoFlux-7091 replicates the evaporation process occurring in water-tube boilers at a safe, observable laboratory scale using a CFC-free non-toxic evaporation liquid that begins to evaporate at 40 to 50°C. The central component is a double-wall glass tube evaporator, 1200 mm in length, with an inner diameter of 13.6 mm and outer diameter of 24 mm. Hot water flows through the outer pipe of the double-wall assembly, transferring heat to the evaporation liquid in the inner pipe. All seven characteristic flow boiling phases are observable directly through the glass: single-phase liquid flow, bubbly flow, slug flow, annular flow, film boiling, drop flow (mist), and single-phase vapour flow. The hot water circuit consists of a 2 kW heater (temperature range -100 to 400°C), an expansion vessel, and a circulating pump (max. flow rate 1.9 m3/h, max. head 1.5 m, power consumption 58 W). The evaporation circuit comprises the glass tube evaporator, a vapour collector, a water-cooled copper coil condenser, and a return pipe. A built-in water jet pump (required water pressure 0.5 bar, flow rate 4 to 12 L/min, final pressure 16 mbar) generates the partial vacuum needed to lower system pressure and reduce the evaporation temperature of the liquid. The evaporation liquid quantity is 0.5 L, operating within a pressure range of -1.0 to 1.5 bar relative. Pressure measurement covers -1 to 1.5 bar relative and temperature measurement covers -100 to 400°C. All pipe systems are clearly arranged on a metal panel mounted on a laboratory trolley with an HDF sheet surface. Optional Software TF-7091, developed in National Instruments LabVIEW, provides DAQ-based measurement and results calculation on any Windows operating system, with electronic sensors included when the software option is selected.

The Simple Compression Refrigeration PolarX – 501 is a bench-top laboratory unit designed to demonstrate the fundamentals of a compression refrigeration cycle using a piston compressor, thermostatic expansion valve, pipe coil evaporator, and pipe coil condenser. This simple compression refrigeration unit uses CFC-free refrigerant R134a, includes two water-filled tanks with temperature sensors to simulate the environment, and is fully instrumented with pressure gauges, six K-type temperature sensors, a sight glass, and a digital multifunctional power meter for comprehensive refrigeration cycle analysis.
Product Overview
The Simple Compression Refrigeration PolarX – 501 demonstrates a straightforward compression refrigeration system in a simplified bench-top format. The four primary components of the refrigeration circuit are a piston compressor, a thermostatic expansion valve, an evaporator, and a condenser. Both the evaporator and condenser are formed as pipe coils, with each end submerged in a separate water-filled tank to simulate the environment. The cold water tank represents heat removal (evaporator side) and the hot water tank represents heat rejection (condenser side).
The compressor has a power consumption of 104 W at 5/40°C and a refrigeration capacity of 278 W at 5/40°C. Refrigerant R134a (CFC-free) is used throughout the circuit. Two manometers display the refrigerant pressures on the high-pressure side (-1 to 25 bar) and the low-pressure side (-1 to 16 bar). The evaporation temperature of the refrigerant is displayed on a separate scale on the low-pressure manometer. A sight glass upstream of the expansion valve shows the aggregate state of the refrigerant.

Product Overview Split AC systems consist of an inner and an outer unit. The inner unit contains a heat exchanger with a fan that operates as an evaporator during cooling and functions as a condenser during heating. The outer unit houses a compressor, another heat exchanger, an expansion element such as a capillary tube, and a switch that converts cooling to heating operation.
During cooling, the evaporating refrigerant in the inner unit’s heat exchanger removes heat from the room air. The refrigerant then condenses in the outer unit, releasing heat into the surrounding air. During heating, the direction of heat transfer is reversed. This Split AC System Trainer includes two additional pressure displays for the refrigerant to further demonstrate this operation.
A remote control selects the operating mode, fan stage of the inner unit, and desired room temperature. During automated operation, the actual room temperature is recorded, and a mode of operation is automatically chosen to maintain the desired room temperature. The remote control also manages a timer with a single remaining running period in hours (sleep mode, suitable for energy-saving operation), a regular on/off switch, and a horizontally positioned grill at the air exit for air distribution (swing mode, fixed or movable).

These performance characteristics make the unit suitable for specialized cooling applications where compactness, dependability, and the absence of moving parts are required.
