WHY AV-20R
DESIGN & STRUCTURE
- The AV-20R is a 20-litre floor-standing reactor built around a SUS316L inner vessel, a vacuum-tight SUS304 jacket shell, a heavy-duty top-drive motor, an interchangeable agitator (anchor / paddle / propeller), and a multi-coil reflux condenser. Every port, valve and instrument is designed for repeatable batch operation under vacuum and elevated temperature.
- Cutaway of the AV-20R · jacketed vessel with reflux condenser (numbered parts are explained below).
| No. | Component | Role |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Top-drive motor | Variable-speed drive |
| 2 | Mechanical seal | Magnetic-coupling seal optional for air-free chemistry |
| 3 | KF16 feed port | Solid or liquid charging without opening the lid |
| 4 | Reflux condenser | Multi-coil, diverts vapours to the 10 L receiver |
| 5 | Anchor-type agitator | PTFE wiper blades for viscous and high-solid pastes |
| 6 | Bottom discharge | Zero-dead-space drain valve for crystals and slurry |
| 7 | Jacket inlet / outlet | DN25 ports, accepts heat-transfer fluid |
| 8 | Vacuum / vent port | KF16 connection to the vacuum pump and vent line |
WORKING PRINCIPLE
- Working principle of the AV-20 — R · charge → control → reflux/distil → discharge.
- 01 · Charge — Load raw materials through the KF16 top port, then seal and pull vacuum (optional) before heating.
- 02 · Control — Circulate heat-transfer fluid through the 0.5 m² jacket and run the anchor agitator at the target RPM — the same vessel handles exothermic and endothermic steps.
- 03 · Reflux or distil — Vapours rise to the condenser. Choose full reflux (to keep the reaction at temperature) or divert to the 10 L receiver (to strip solvent or collect a fraction).
- 04 · Discharge — Open the bottom valve to drain the slurry. The zero-dead-space design leaves no residue — ideal for crystals, suspension products and small-batch AP Is.
- Net result: one vessel replaces a separate reactor + still + mixer + crystalliser, with fewer product transfers, fewer cleaning cycles and a much smaller bench footprint.

APPLICATIONS
- The AV-20R is widely used wherever a 20-litre batch has to be reacted, distilled, mixed or crystallised in a single sealed vessel — typical industries and duties include:
- Six typical industries and uses for the AV-20R multifunctional reactor: pharma AP Is, botanical / CBD extracts, fine chemicals, solvent recovery, mixing and crystallisation.
| Industry | Typical duties |
|---|---|
| Pharma & API | Solvent removal after synthesis and final API drying in a sealed, vacuum-capable vessel. |
| Botanical & CBD extracts | Decarboxylation of hemp biomass and post-extraction solvent stripping. |
| Fine & specialty chemicals | Jacketed heating with controlled agitation and reflux for batch reactions. |
| Solvent recovery | Atmospheric or vacuum distillation; divert vapours to the 10 L receiver. |
| Mixing & blending | Anchor agitator handles viscous slurries, suspensions and high-solid pastes. |
| Crystallisation | Controlled cooling or anti-solvent addition with agitation for uniform crystals. |
