As all Berghof high-pressure reactors, the reactors of the BR-500 are available in models made of stainless steel or hastelloy. Due to the innovative construction of the reactor vessels, they can be used both with and without PTFE inserts. Hence, acquisition costs can be
reduced tremendously.
Thanks to the large variety of extensions, the BR-500 reactors are ideal for complex procedures. The following accessories form the basis for individual configurations:
* Different optional heating concepts (electrical or via fluid)
* Optional stirring via hot plate or magnetic drive
* Various agitator geometrics
* Cooling via double jacket
The different accessories are combined by standard components, such as rupture disc, valve, dip tube and a tool for a safe opening and closing of the reactors. Furthermore, useful supplies like sample holders are available. All reactors of these series have six ports (8 mm
tube connection), of which two are free for individual use. The use of t-connections helps to increase the number of free ports.
Usually, these high-pressure reactors are used for synthesis and catalyst researches.
Moreover, the size of the reactor vessels allows the use for material test, e.g. in the automotive sector.

Technical Specification 

* When using PTFE inserts the maximum allowable temperature is 230℃
* The number of free ports can be enlarged by the use of T-connections
