The CR Series High Pressure Reactors by Wiggens are a trusted choice for laboratories across South Africa seeking performance, flexibility, and durability. Built to support a wide range of demanding applications, these reactors deliver consistent results while adapting to the evolving needs of modern lab environments.

 

Versatile Construction

These reactors are available in stainless steel, Hastelloy, or fully PTFE-lined options, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance. Moreover, the working volume can be adjusted between 300 ml and 5,000 ml by utilizing various reactor vessels. This flexibility makes them suitable for a wide range of experiments.

 

User-Friendly Design

The CR series high pressure reactors prioritize ease of handling. For instance, they feature a manual quick closure that allows for sealing without the need for tools. Additionally, the reactor seal is securely established using a conical flange lock along with an O-ring seal made from PTFE, FKM, or FFKM. Furthermore, stainless steel fitting inserts enhance versatility, making these reactors adaptable to different laboratory setups.

 

Connection Options

Each reactor lid includes six connection options, allowing for customization based on experimental requirements. These options comprise:

  • Immersion tube for temperature probes
  • Metal rupture disc for safe maximum pressure limitation
  • Pressure display
  • Vent valve
  • Two freely selectable fittings for gas or liquid sampling

 

Temperature Regulation

Effective temperature control is crucial in high pressure experiments. Therefore, the CR series reactors come equipped with a temperature probe that detects the internal temperature through an immersion tube. For added safety, you can utilize a second temperature probe as an independent overheating precaution. Appropriate stand systems are also available to ensure stability during operations.

 

Intuitive Operation

The 7″ high-resolution display offers simple, intuitive operation and optimal visibility of all critical reactor functions, including temperature, rpm, pressure, and safety information. This design ensures that researchers can effectively monitor their experiments.
