What is a Jacketed Glass Reactor?

Reactors have a multitude of uses in the chemical processing field. They come in many different sizes, shapes, and forms. They are also made out of a variety of materials such as glass or stainless steel. The most basic definition of a reactor is: a vessel that contains a chemical reaction. As you continue reading this post, you will see that a reactor is a tool that can be used for many different processes related to extraction, winterization, distillation, and post-processing. In terms of cannabinoid processing, the most common use for a reactor is large scale winterization.

A single or double jacketed reactor is ideal for this process. It allows you to circulate fluid around the exterior or interior jacket to chill the mixture inside. As the mixture becomes colder, the fats and waxes in the mixture begin to coagulate and will fall out of the solution. Reactors can also be used for homogenizing mixtures. They can also be used as stand-alone extraction vessels. Reactors that are used for cannabinoid processing usually have a single or dual jacket system. In a single jacket system, a chiller is used to circulate liquid around the vessel. In a double jacket system, a chiller is used to circulate fluid through the inner jacket, while the outer jacket is used for vacuum insulation to ensure the vessel will maintain the desired temperature. At BVV, we find double jacketed systems to be the most efficient. The following is the product features

1. Reactor body adopts high borosilicate glass(GG-17 material), owns excellent chemical and physical properties, transparency bottle makes it easy to observe reaction liquid material.

2. Main body is made from stainless steel, which is beautiful and anti-corrosion.

3. Stainless steel stirring rod is covered with PTFE, applicable for various solvent stirring, no pollution and anti-corrosion.

4. Alternating current dynamo conducts frequency control stirring, reliable operation, large moment of force, no spark and long service life.

5. Sealed by PTFE component and fluorous rubber, be able to maintain higher vacuum degree and longer service life.

6. This equipment has speed controller, set rotary speed by speed governing turn-knob, which is perceptual intuition and convenient.

7. This equipment has vacuum display function, can select best working vacuum degree for low boiling point material.

8. PTFE inclined discharge valve makes it so convenient to recycle solvent.
