Product information Pilot scale modular jacketed reactor offering multiple setups in one footprint

Orb Pilot Orb Pilot is a flexible and versatile floorstanding jacketed reactor system for scaling up of batch processes. Designed with the help of scale-up chemists and chemical engineers, Orb Pilot offers a wealth of user-friendly benefits, such as quick vessel changes, easy height adjustments, and a selfadjusting spring-loaded base frame, making it incredibly easy to use. With 10 to 50 L vessels in a range of profiles, temperature range of -40 to 235 °C, powerful stirrer motors, and a selection of PTFE and stainless steel stirrers, Orb Pilot is easily configured to match your exact requirements....

Designed for you In designing Orb Pilot, we consulted with numerous chemical engineers to ensure we incorporated features that will make your life easier. Designed to mimic production vessels Orb Pilot vessels mimic the L/D ratios of production scale vessels for easier scale-up to production. A range of stirrers—including industry-standard hydrofoil—provide various mixing options to suit all needs. Top loaded removable glass baffles provide superior mixing and easy cleaning. Easy vessel changes and cleaning in under an hour In other reactor systems, changing and cleaning vessels can take days....

Stirrer motors The Reflux Kit enables applications at reflux as well as product concentration. Includes a 3500 cm² condenser, condenser support, coupling component, and fittings High-specification motors from leading manufacturers offer performance and durability for the most demanding applications. An innovative stirrer motor lift system allows the stirrer motor to be easily moved into position or out of the way Lids The Orb Pilot Lid is available in two sizes; DN235 and DN300. Both sizes include a DN60 Charging Port, DN60 Condenser Coupling, 2 x B19 & B34 Probe Ports, and 2 x Baffle Ports....

Efficient mixing A jacketed reactor system is only as good as its ability to thoroughly and uniformly mix its contents. With increasing scale comes the increased risk of vortex formation during stirring which results in a dramatic loss of stirring efficiency. To combat this, Orb Pilot offers top-loaded removable glass baffles that break up the vortex, ensuring the reactor contents are thoroughly agitated. Available in high and low shear options, the baffles are easily removed for cleaning or if your chemistry requires more gentle mixing. Temperature control Orb Pilot vessels offer unrivaled thermal...

Case Study Improving sustainability in commercial laundry with a custom Orb Pilot system Robert Bird, R&D Project Manager Xeros, United Kingdom Xeros Technology Group—a company specializing in sustainable polymer solutions to advance the commercial laundry industry—can now produce more of their novel XOrb™ beads in one week than they previously could in two years thanks to a custom stirrer and gearbox for their Orb Pilot scale-up reactor. Syrris’ Custom Parts Team worked with Xeros to develop the custom double-helix stirrer and gearbox, specifically designed to fit a 50 L Orb Pilot vessel, to...

Why choose Syrris? Custom parts We understand that all labs are different, so while we’ve designed our products to be as flexible as possible, sometimes you’ll need something unique to your laboratory or application. Syrris is on hand to help when you need it. From feasibility studies and proof of concept, through to on-site support by a Syrris engineer, our team are experienced chemists and are supported by a network of trained distributors in over 40 countries. Many custom parts are simple variations on existing parts—shorter stirrer shafts or extra ports on a lid, for example. Some customers,...

In the space of a week, we can now produce more XOrb beads than we could have done in two years without the Orb Pilot system!
