A1-RDX Hurricane Series

Jacketed reactors are intended to perform scale-up and production of bulk reactions, isolations and distillations. The APICAL A1-RDX Hurricane Jacketed Reactor series offers reliable operation for work-up, slurry development, vacuum separations, synthesis and liquid extractions. These systems are chemical industry workhorses for just about any laboratory or commercial chemical facility.

Jacketed reactors paired with fractional columns (A1-RDX-FC) guarantee purities exceeding 90%, separating low, heavy and near molecular weight compounds. When fitted with a short vapor path (A1-RDX-SPE) and high surface area coil & plate condensers, these same reactors recover bulk solvent.

The right configuration exists for just about every chemical process. Apical delivers the correct assemblies for a wide range of operations:

• synthesis

• oxidation

• crystallization

• reflux

• bio-reactions

• halogenation

• nitration

• isomerization

Apical has taken years of validated field experience and product trials to develop practical technologies that work every day. We combine academic principles with cutting-edge design to provide equipment that can be relied on for years to come with safe, easy operation, high throughputs and consistent product.

These reactor systems utilize large tubing to ensure an unimpeded vapor path which is critical to maintaining deep vacuum at the process rather than just at the pump. On the flip-side, PRVs and/or rupture discs are often fitted to lids and overhead assemblies to protect the staff and system components from overpressurization.

Apical reactors have scale-up in mind, maintaining consistent ratios of dimension as they grow to ensure a reliable transition to larger processing. And, when scaling the ancillary systems, Apical works with trusted manufacturing partners known for their robust support staff and resilient equipment.

Considering these finer points is one of the keys to high throughputs, successful process development, facility safety and efficient commercialization.

Systems are built to DIN and cGMP standards for consistent production as well OSHA guidelines for safety. Apical takes industry guidelines seriously to ensure limited downtime, straight-forward audits and predictable operation.

The APICAL A1-RDX Hurricane series has a wide range of jacketed reactor configurations with our unique design features and efficiency-minded details differentiating our systems in a crowded marketplace.

The attributes of Apical jacketed reactors pair well with Schott glass ranging in sizes from 300mL to 150L.

With that, Apical has the flexibility to fit systems to your scenario without compromise.

• hydrogenation

• esterification

• aging

• decarboxylation

Apical has tested a wide range of designs under production settings to pierce the veil and remove the mystique around chemical processing so business operators can focus on the customer and not a daily headache.
