Innovator 200

Pilot Scale – Internal & External Heat Exchanger

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

The Innovator® 200 is similar to the Innovator® 100, but with a slightly larger volume and both internal and external heat exchangers for improved temperature control. Like the Innovator® 100, it is designed for 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® 200 was developed to minimize the amounts of chemicals in the production system at any given time, so it is a good choice for applications where the reactants are hazardous (explosive or toxic). Even though the footprint is small, it has been constructed using the same design principles that would be used for a commercial system, 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) Specific requirement will change based on seal design and application requirements. Specifications listed here are for a Triple Lip Seal.
(c) Explosion Proof construction (with nitrogen purge) can be provided.
(d) 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.
