What does Explosion Proof mean?

The term explosion proof describes electrical and non-electrical fixtures that can prevent explosions from occurring. An electrical product marked explosion proof has an apparatus enclosed in a case capable of withstanding an explosion of a specific gas or vapor that may occur within it, while preventing ignition of specified surrounding gases or vapors by sparks, flashes, or internal explosion. In this context, explosion proof does not mean the enclosure is designed to withstand an external explosion; it means the enclosure helps prevent an internal spark or explosion from causing a larger blast.

Ai jacketed reactors with Explosion-Proof motor, controller and power management

Ai R20ex series jacketed glass reactors are designed for synthetic reactions of different types of materials in a controlled temperature and vacuum environment. Each reactor features adjustable stirring speeds and a constant pressure feeding funnel that allows material to be added to the vessel at a uniform and controlled speed. The built-in condenser makes it possible to recover some materials, also at a controlled rate of speed.

Features

• PSI peer reviewed to be used in a C1D1 environment.
• Thermo insulation jacket with open/close viewing window and top and bottom adjustable drawstrings is specially designed for Ai glass jacketed reactors.
• The dual jacketed model allows vacuum to be drawn from the outer jacket to protect recirculating fluid temperature and reduce frosting on the outside of the vessel.
• Solvent-resistant PTFE sealing components support long-term durability and operation.
• All glassware is hand-made from food grade high borosilicate glass that is resistant to heat, cold, and corrosion.
• Adjustable stirring rate provides great torque or high speed.
• Patented PTFE stirring rod bearing supports reliable and quiet operation.
• Optional multi-layer stirring blades are available for optimized reaction results.
• Wide operating temperature range from -110F to 400F.
• Large condenser cooling surface supports exceptional condensation performance.
• Rugged stainless steel reinforced PTFE stirrer with anchored agitator suits a wide range of viscous materials.
• Digital speed and temperature displays make operation easier to monitor.
• Heavy duty stainless steel supporting framework with lockable casters provides mobility and stability.
• One-year warranty with lifetime US-based parts, service, and support.
