Reactors

C.L.A. Reactors are reaction vessels designed and built to URS specifications, equipped with advanced heat exchange, stirring and automation systems. Ideal for the Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Food and Cosmetic sectors, they ensure safety, process control and customized customization.

What are Reactors

A reactor is a technical vessel in which a chemical or physical reaction takes place, equipped with systems for heating, cooling, and agitation of substances.

Applications in different sectors

Chemical industry: tailor-made plants for chemical synthesis, catalysis and transformation
Pharmaceutical industry: high-precision reactions for APIs and intermediates, with traceability and validation
Food industry: safe processes for food ingredients, with hygienic and thermal control
Cosmetic industry: Reactors suitable for the production of gels, creams and cosmetic solutions

Why choose C.L.A. Reactors.

Design on URS: customization according to flow rate, temperature, viscosity and process.
Selected materials: AISI 304, 316L, 904 steels and special alloys (HC22, HC276, SAF).
Modular heat exchange: jacket, half-pipe or inner coil.
Customized agitation: anchors, turbines, impellers for optimized mass transfer.
Integrated automation: complete skids with PLC, valves, process control instruments.
Certifications: PED compliance, ATEX, ISO 9001 and complete technical documentation.

FAQ

What is the difference between a chemical and a pharmaceutical reactor?

Chemical Reactors are designed to withstand extreme conditions (pressure, corrosion, aggressive reagents), while pharmaceutical Reactors prioritize hygiene, document validation, and process traceability.

What parameters are critical in choosing a reactor?

Usable volume, operating pressure and temperature, compatibility of materials of construction, type of agitation, and automation/control systems.

Can a reactor be customized on URS?

Yes, C.L.A. Reactors are sized and configured according to User Requirement Specifications (URS), with a choice of geometries, accessories and automation systems.

What certifications are required for industrial Reactors?

The main ones are PED Directive (Pressure Equipment Directive (2014/68/EU)), ATEX (explosion hazard zones) and ISO 9001 for quality. FAT, SAT, IQ and OQ are also required in pharmaceuticals.

How long is the useful life of a reactor?

Dependent on materials, operating conditions, and maintenance, Stainless steel and Special alloys Reactors can provide decades of use with preventive maintenance and periodic inspections.

Is it possible to integrate a reactor into an existing plant?

Yes, through complete skids with automation (PLC, valves, instruments) that facilitate insertion into already operational production lines.
