Our filtration part is meticulously designed to prevent any leak or bypass of filtrate. The sintered filter (pore size of about 100 μm) supports the filter membrane. Double PTFE gaskets that sandwich the filter cloth lock everything into place. This setup, along with an O-ring, prevents leaks (including solids, liquids, and gases), and bypasses when the filter is closed. Filter membranes of up to 3 mm thickness can be used.
Features
Explore the features that make the system ideal for crystallisation and filtration applications
Recover end product with absolute ease
The design of AGI’s filter support structure makes it simple and easy to handle your valuable product, compared to other systems. The filter can be quickly uncoupled, lowered, and moved sideways for filtrate collection. All of this can be done in a smooth, safe, and controlled manner. The lowering of the filter is assisted by a rotating lever mechanism in the support structure.
Effective filtration
Note: Since the pore size of filter membranes are variable, they are not included in our standard package.
Full jacket design for high thermal performance
A full jacket design means that the thermal jacket fully covers the process vessel, which offers maximised thermal transfer to the process. The filter and flush valve are designed to provide very minimal dead space.
Optimize your process with accessories
AGI Pilot Plant Filter Reactor 
is best suited for kilo lab/pilot plant production and process development applications. The PFA-coated SS Lid has adaptable multipurpose 40 A ports with accessories such as purge port, pressure gauge, hand hole, safety valve, condenser, dropping funnel, condensate cooler, condensate receiver, stirrer seal, and temperature sensor. These accessories help to fine tune your crystallisation and create an optimal process.
Note: 10 L models have a vertical condenser. 20 L and 30 L models have diagonal condensers.
Clean with ease
For medium-sized filter reactors, thorough cleaning after each use is essential to prevent chemical contamination between batches. It is particularly important to clean the flange and filtration parts.
The flange-grooves where the O-rings sit in standard vessels is prone to collect chemical residues after each process. Our Filter reactor vessel has a flat flange which makes it very easy to clean.
In the filtration part, the gaskets, O-ring and sintered filter are removable. The PTFE filter base has sharp and defined groves to allow easy access for cleaning. The flush valve is removable and has a run-off design where everything drains completely. These design features improve the way you work and clean the reactor, batch after batch.
Stable and debris-free stirring
Newly designed AGI stirrer bearings have an extended configuration with glass and PEEK sliding parts.
Stable stirring
The stirrer bearing design reduces axial deviation of impeller at high RPM, resulting in stable, wobble-free stirring.
Debris-free stirring
Even with prolonged operation, AGI stirrer bearings are highly resistant to PTFE flaking (from the stirrer shaft) compared with other conventional bearings that are available on the market.
Impeller options
Mass flow pattern is an important factor to consider when you want to achieve a perfect chemical reaction process. We offer three types of impellers with axial or tangential flows. AGI impellers are made of SS rods encapsulated in PTFE for excellent chemical resistance and mechanical strength. If your application requires a special flow, see our advanced impeller options. If you find these are not sufficient, please contact us and we can help you to find a solution that suits your specific process.
