Why AV-100R
The AV-100R moves you from bench-top evaporation to pilot and small-batch production — without moving to a fixed industrial skid. It gives a 100 L net capacity in a single, fully sealed vessel that can react, reflux, distil, mix and crystallise. Built on SUS316L wetted parts and SUS304 outer shell, it handles service across pharmaceutical, botanical, fine-chemical and solvent-recovery workflows.

Design & Structure
| 01 | Top-drive motor — 1.5 kW variable speed, anchor / paddle / propeller interchangeable |
|---|---|
| 02 | Mechanical seal — PTFE-faced, magnetic-coupling upgrade available |
| 03 | KF25 feed port — larger than the bench-top line — handles solids and viscous slurries |
| 04 | Reflux condenser — large heat-exchange area, fast cool-down |
| 05 | Anchor agitator — PTFE wiper blades, three interchangeable geometries |
| 06 | Bottom discharge — zero-dead-space valve drains slurry, crystals or finished product |
| 07 | Jacket inlet / outlet — DN25 connections |
Working Principle
- One sealed vessel — four stages from charge to discharge. Vapour can be fully refluxed (reaction) or diverted to the receiver (distillation).
| 01 Charge: Load raw materials via the KF25 port. | 02 Control: Heat or cool through the 2 m² jacket. Set RPM for the reaction. | 03 Reflux: Reflux to react longer, or divert condensate to the 50 L receiver. | 04 Discharge: Open bottom valve — zero dead space, full product recovery. |

Applications
- Across six core applications the AV-100R replaces several single-purpose vessels with one sealed, vacuum-capable unit.
| Pharmaceutical API pilot Reaction, crystallisation and solvent swap for small-molecule AP Is under cGMP-style conditions. | Botanical & CBD extraction Ethanol- or water-based extraction and concentration of plant biomass; reflux with mild vacuum. |
|---|---|
| Fine & specialty chemicals Multi-step synthesis, hydrogenation upstream and distillation downstream in one vessel. | Solvent recovery Vacuum distillation of DMF, toluene, methanol or acetone; recover and reuse solvents. |
| Mixing & formulation High-viscosity blending of creams, slurries and intermediates with anchor or paddle impeller. | Crystallisation & drying prep Controlled cooling crystallisation; jacket-fed chiller preps crystals for filtration or tray drying. |
