Used Equipment Facts About This Machine
Manufacturer Information
This complete xylitol hydrogenation plant features major equipment manufactured by Buss AG, Hebler, Biral-Buss, Sunitrol, and Braun + Luebbe. Designed for continuous high-pressure catalytic hydrogenation of xylose into xylitol, the system incorporates industrial-grade 316L stainless steel process equipment suitable for food, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical production.
Description
Available for sale is a complete Used Buss AG Loop Reactor High Pressure Hydrogenation Plant designed for the production of xylitol from xylose feedstocks. Xylitol is a high-value sugar alcohol commonly used in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and personal care applications. The production process utilizes catalytic hydrogenation under elevated pressure and temperature conditions, typically employing Raney nickel catalyst to convert purified xylose into food-grade xylitol.
This system is currently in operation and includes a Hebler high-pressure reaction autoclave, Buss loop reactor piping system, Biral-Buss circulation pump, feed and dosing systems, catalyst preparation vessels, shell and tube heat exchangers, process filtration equipment, and associated support structure. Manufacturer drawings and process prints are available.
Additional information, equipment inspections, and process documentation are available upon request.
