USED BÜCHI CUSTOM PILOT PLANT EVAPORATOR SYSTEM

The BÜCHI Custom Pilot Plant Evaporator System is a custom-engineered pilot-scale processing platform designed for solvent evaporation, concentration, distillation, reaction, and process development. Unlike standard laboratory rotary evaporators, this system integrates a large jacketed stainless steel or glass reactor, a temperature control unit (TCU), vacuum capability, condenser assembly, and solvent recovery components to support pilot-scale manufacturing and scale-up studies.

A typical configuration includes a 243 L jacketed reactor with a temperature operating range of -80°C to 300°C using heat-transfer oil circulated through an external TCU. These systems are commonly used in pharmaceutical, chemical, biotechnology, and specialty chemical industries for process optimization, solvent recovery, and pilot production before commercial manufacturing.
