cGMP Multi-Purpose Plant

SUS and Hastelloy glass-lined reactors from 0.1 to 6m³ capacity are configured to produce various products in quantities from 10kg to several tonnes.

AGC Chemicals Europe can carry out reactions under high pressure (4.5MPa) or at low temperatures in Hastelloy reactors of 0.1 and 1m³. Products are discharged into a PTFE-lined centrifuge of 600mm diameter or into a stainless-steel filter dryer (1m³) and then into a conical dryer or a vibrating vacuum dryer for final processing. This equipment operates in clean environments.
