Glass reactors are transparent equipment that is used in the production of chemicals, polymers, and pharmaceuticals. They comprise strong glass walls that shield the interior contents from any exposure to or contact with the outside world. In doing so, they facilitate the reactions of substances. We are here to discuss the application of glass reactors in the pharma industry. 

Pharmaceutical Chemical Reactors

Continuous Stirred Tank Glass Reactors in Pharma Industry

A Glass Reactor serves to estimate the variables of the key operations units. At the same time, it makes use of a continuously agitated tank reactor to attain a predefined level of output. It is by far the most common kind of reactor that is employed in the field of pharmaceuticals. This stems from its ability to facilitate many reactions and applications. 

Packed Bed Reactors in Pharma Industry 

Packed bed reactors, shaped in the form of tubes and filled with solid catalyst particles, find extensive use in gas-phase catalysis within the pharmaceutical industry. By providing ample surfaces for chemical reactions to occur, these reactors achieve remarkable conversions per weight compared to other catalytic reactor types. Their efficiency in catalyzing gas reactions makes them indispensable for various pharmaceutical processes. 

Tubular Reactor in Pharma Industry 

Tubular reactors, as the name suggests, take the shape of a tube and maintain a continuous flow of substances within. These reactors offer consistent reaction times for all materials passing through, regardless of size or weight. This feature makes them highly suitable for pharmaceutical applications that require uniform treatment of substances.

Moving Bed Reactor in Pharma Industry

Moving bed reactors are valuable tools for separating chemical compounds from other substances or compounds within the pharmaceutical industry. These reactors are adept at producing enriched materials in significant quantities at a cost-effective rate. They are particularly useful for removing impurities from solutions and facilitating solvent extraction processes.

Fluidized Bed Reactor in Pharma Industry

Fluidized bed reactors operate by passing a fluid through solid granular materials at high velocities, suspending the fluids and emulating the behavior of a liquid. This reactor type is ideal for handling suspended solutions and mixtures, particularly those in water. However, due to their unique characteristics, fluidized bed reactors require careful attention to ensure optimal performance.
