Used R&M Italia 160L Glass Lined Reactor Train with 70L Receiver – 150 PSI – XP Agitator – Tycon Reglass – QVF System

Manufacturer Info:

Manufacturer: R&M Italia

Reactor Capacity: 160 Liters

Receiver Capacity: 70 Liters

Reactor Serial #: 1109 | National Board #: 650 (Re-glassed by Tycon in 2005)

Receiver Serial #: 8037 | National Board #: 423

Glass Sections: QVF borosilicate glass mid-sections

Condition: Used

Description:
This is a used 160-liter glass-lined reactor train by R&M Italia, featuring a glass-lined 160L reactor and a 70L glass-lined receiver, both with removable dished tops and bottoms and connected via QVF borosilicate glass intermediate sections.
The reactor was re-glassed by Tycon in 2005, ensuring excellent surface integrity and corrosion resistance. Both vessels are rated for 150 PSI and full vacuum at +356°F / -112°F, internally and jacketed, making the system ideal for a wide range of thermal processing conditions.
The setup includes a top-mounted 1 HP explosion-proof agitator (230/460V), mechanical seal, 3-blade retreat curve agitator, and internal tube baffle for optimized mixing and heat transfer. Both the reactor and receiver are mounted on bottom lift/lower mechanisms for easy handling, transfer, and cleaning.
