Pollux

The Premex Pollux autoclave is built in a stainless steel chassis with the lid fixed.
The heating/cooling mantle and the vessel are moved up and down with the aid of a pneumatic lift system. The vessel can be taken out for emtying or cleaning purposes and the reactor is closed by a jaw lock quick closure or bolts and nuts.

Premex Pollux Autoclave

Type of sealing

Different type of seals available depending on chemistry and pressure/temeprature specifications

O-ring (FKM/Viton, FFKM/Karez, etc) Silver  Grafoil PTFE  Camprofile gasket with Mica/ graphite

Conections, valve's and fittings

We configure every autoclave according to your needs. Basic configuration incorporates:

Gas inlet and outlet  Diptube for sampling Thermowell with Pt-100 or thermocouple Pressure transmitter + Manometer SITEC bursting disk holder + bursting disk or pressure safety valve Including Swagelok valves Optional: bottom valves, internal cooling/heating coils etc

Heating and cooling

Two versions available:

Electric heating + cooling coil with selenoid valve Double-shell for connection with external thermostatic bath For the ATEX version the heating/cooling body is completely sealed and a Pepperl+Fuchs explosion pretection system maintains a small overpressure in the heating/cooling body

Stirring motor and magnetic coupling
