A continuous, multi-purpose flow reactor for a wide range of applications within the fields of pharmaceuticals, fine and specialty chemicals.       Benefits to convert from batch production to continuous - Improved efficiency and safety - Easier scale-up - Improved product quality. The ART® plate reactor help you convert your batch process and produce continuously. The ART plate reactor consists of a series of cassettes. The core of each of these is a specially designed process channel plate, into which the process and utility channels are machined. These are designed to promote optimum mixing and heat transfer performance. Different numbers of these cassettes can be stacked vertically and held together in a frame. Each cassette has one process inlet and one process outlet port. Secondary ports that make it possible to add specific reactants or to insert measuring and monitoring devices are positioned along the length of the plate, and provide access to the main process channel. The process channels are connected in series to ensure the required residence time. The utility channels can be connected in series or in parallel and each is fitted with two thermocouple ports. The reactor frame holds the plates together in compression, thus sealing the fluid channels. This frame is spring-loaded, which makes sure that the correct sealing force is maintained at all times, even when extreme temperatures are involved.
