Fermentation systems for the chemical industry
CLA Fermentation systems for the Chemical sector are designed to ensure reliability, continuity and safety in industrial bioconversion processes. Ideal for the production of enzymes, biosolvents, biopolymers, chemical intermediates and other compounds derived from microbial and bacterial fermentations, they offer complete management from laboratory to industrial scale.
Our fermenters are made entirely of Stainless steel with an internal Ra <0.5 µm finish, and can be configured for top or bottom agitation (including magnetic drive) to ensure efficiency even on high-viscosity fluids or with solid loads.
