Innovator 100

Pilot Scale Production – External Heat Exchanger

The STT® system is a combination of patented processes and equipment for the manufacture of chemicals and pharmaceuticals. The Innovator® Series of reactors is well suited for pilot scale production and process optimization.

The Innovator® 100 type reactor is designed for general early stage research through development phase efforts where there is a need to quickly identify and confirm the validity of a reaction as well as to obtain significant amounts of product for testing and client evaluation. The Innovator® 100 was developed to minimize the amounts of chemicals in the reactor at any given time, so it is a good choice for applications where the reactants are hazardous (explosive or toxic). Even though the reactor is small, it has been constructed using the same design principles that would be used for a commercial reactor, and processes can be easily scaled to pilot plant through commercial sized production output.

Notes
(a) Floor models are on castors with screw jacks for easy movement, leveling and stabilization.
(b) Bench model is designed for use on a bench in a fume hood and has no castors.
(c) Specific requirement will change based on seal design (see reverse side) and application requirements. Specifications listed here are for a Triple Lip Seal.
(d) Explosion Proof construction (with nitrogen purge) can be provided.
(e) Working Volume is based on the Rotor Working Length, the Rotor OD and the Gap where Gap = 1/2 (Stator ID – Rotor OD). Custom Gap configurations can be provided but not with Gaps less than 0.010" or 0.25 mm.
