LAB AND PILOT PRESSURE REACTORS

Company VSK designs and manufactures custom made agitated reactors and autoclaves, tailored to every even very specific demand coming from fine chemical, pharmaceutical and food processing industry. The systems are designed for operation at a wide range of pressures and temperatures, with applications ranging from laboratory and pilot plant to large chemical plants.

Due to the wide variety of sizes available (in vessel volumes from 350 ml to 6 m³), we have divided them into laboratory & pilot plant and industrial systems (from 50-liter vessel volume). However, it is by no means specified from which volume it is no longer a pilot plant but an industrial equipment. Simply contact us with your specific requirements!
