Autoclave Specifications
Head Mounting Style
Removable head design
This is the most commonly used option & available for all sizes of autoclaves. Here the body
rests on the stand / trolley & the head is lifted for charging, discharging & cleaning. The vessel
can be removed for charging / discharging / cleaning. This option is more common as the head
& vessel can be taken out easily for pressure testing, fitting accessories, servicing etc. The head
can be lifted & lowered by chain pulley or hydraulic arrangement on special request for
autoclaves above 5 ltr volume.
Optional:
a) Fixed head design with raising & lowering
In this system the head of the autoclave is fixed with motor stand & the vessel & heater are
raised & lowered manually by sliding or manually by scissor lift for 50 ml - 250 ml or by rotating
screw for 500 ml - 1 ltr or pneumatically / hydraulically. The vessel or heater can be slided
manually up & down for assembly or disassembly for 50 ml to 250 ml autoclaves, manually
screwed up & down for 500 ml to 1 ltr autoclaves & pneumatic lift is provided for 500 ml to 25 ltr
& hydraulic lift for 50 to 100 ltr autoclaves. This system is useful when head of the autoclave has
lot of fittings & accessories, making it difficult to lift the head & detach all the fittings after every
batch. Further, removing the heater for faster cooling & ease of lifting or lowering the vessel is
advantageous.
b) Fixed head design with raising, lowering & tilting
In this system head of the autoclave is fixed while a manual, pneumatic or hydraulic lift allows
the vessel (with heater) to be raised & lowered. When lowered the vessel can be tilted. This
system is very useful where a vessel needs cleaning after every batch & for highly viscous 50 ml & 100 ml interchangeable
material to discharge them easily just by tilting. reactors with fixed head design
750 ml fixed head design with 2 ltr fixed head with 2 ltr fixed head with pneumatic
manual screwed vessels raising lowering pneumatic vessel lift raising, lowering & tilting
Heating Types
Electrical ceramic band heater with ceramic wool insulation & cladding.
Optional:
a) Flameproof / explosion proof IIB + H2 certified, aluminium cast Heater for H2 gas with totally
enclosed heating element inside metal tube. Optionally the heater also has inbuilt cooling
coils & is useful when internal cooling coils are not possible / required. These are suitable (a)
when the maximum temperature inside the autoclave is less than 300°C. Heating rates are
lower in FLP heaters in comparison to ceramic band heaters
b) Sealed heater in SS enclosure with ex-proof group IIC / ATEX zone 1 / class 1 div. 2 certified
junction box
c) SS-304 jacket for oil / steam heating with insulation & cladding .
d) If direct electric heating is not permitted (due to spot heating), heater can be provided on
jacket with oil inside. The heater can heat the oil which can in turn heat autoclave uniformly.
e) External heater temperature thermocouple is provided with the cascade temperature (b) (c)
control to ensure safety of heater, vessel & accurate temperature control. It is a standard
feature in aluminum cast heaters.
f) All ceramic band heaters are CE marked.

Salient features
• Suitable upto 700 bar & 500°C
• High torque drives from 0.8 to 600 Nm
• Materials: SS316, Hastelloy C, Inconel, Titanium, Tantalum, PEEK etc.
• The gland/mechanical sealing needs replacement after every 200- Housing threaded
1000 hrs of working depending on application & is limited by maximum to reactor lid
pressure where as magnetic drive can run virtually life long without
leakage with minimum maintenance • Very useful for long or
round the clock reactions as in gland/mechanical sealing the whole
batch may be wasted in case of leakage
• Zero leakage implies zero breakdown & zero maintenance, hence large
savings in maintenance costs for years
• Safe while using toxic & hazardous chemicals as its leakage is totally
prevented
• No wastage of expensive liquids through leakage
• Almost no losses since these are friction free in synchronous
operations
• Minimum vibration transmission & hence smooth running
Cross-sectional view of magnetic
• The coupling is flexible & hence any over load results in coupling drive coupling for high pressure
slippage, thus preventing any damage to coupling, shaft or motor application (M series)

Liquid / Slurry / Gas Charging High Pressure Pot (HPP)
It is used to transfer liquids, slurries or gases in to the autoclave under pressure. It consists of
high pressure SS-316 pot designed for working pressure 100 bar or higher with port for nitrogen
gas (N2), liquid / slurry inlet with valve & funnel, outlet valve, pressure gauge, pressure safety
valve, high pressure hose & NRV. The liquid to be charged is fed into the pot from top funnel &
pressurized with N2 gas until its pressure is higher than the autoclave pressure & then under
pressure the liquid is charged into the autoclave. The quantity & rate of flow of liquid charged is
not known precisely in this system. However a level indicator or sight glass or weighing balance
or flow meter can be provided optionally to measure the liquid charged or its flow rate. Pots of
different pressure, M.O.C. & sizes can be offered.
These pots can also be used for storage of gases when gas cylinders are located at a far away
place. With this option approximate quantity or flow of gas consumed can also be determined
by measuring the pressure drop.
