Jacketed Glass Reactor Manufacturer in India
jacketed glass reactor manufacturer India
Aethex Industries is a jacketed glass reactor manufacturer in India, working from Mumbai with pharmaceutical, chemical, API and R&D customers. We supply jacketed and non-jacketed reactors for research and process use, including custom reactor assemblies when a standard outline will not fit the plant or the method.
A jacketed glass reactor is chosen when the batch needs heating or cooling through a service fluid while the chemist still wants visibility of the mass. Non-jacketed vessels are used where temperature is managed another way, or where the duty is simpler. Neither statement is a substitute for a process review: solvent, solids, vacuum, and the stirrer all change what is practical in glass.
Typical uses include process development in pharma and API laboratories, small-scale synthesis in specialty chemicals, and the first scale-up step before a pilot plant campaign. Condensers, addition funnels, receivers and overhead stirring are often specified in the same assembly. If the next step is a larger campaign, look at our pilot plant equipment as well, so nozzle patterns and glass type stay consistent.
What to send for a quote: nominal working volume (not only total flask volume), jacket connections and intended utility, lid or top-cover layout, stirrer type if you have a preference, operating temperature window as your process group understands it, and whether vacuum distillation or slight pressure is involved. We will not invent pressure ratings or heat-transfer figures. If your drawing already states them, we review them in technical review rather than repeating them as marketing claims.
Connection standards (flanges, spherical joints, threaded ports) should be named. Mixing a plant flange with a laboratory joint without an adapter is a common installation delay. For replacement reactors, a sample or dimensioned sketch of the existing vessel is enough to start.
Custom engineering covers special nozzles, unusual jackets and assemblies that follow an existing skid. Recent brochure examples include jacketed reactor assemblies for API pilot plants. Quality check compares the finished glass against the agreed drawing or sample before dispatch. Request a quote with the drawing, or discuss the duty by phone or WhatsApp with the Mumbai team.

Frequently asked questions
Do you supply both jacketed and non-jacketed glass reactors?
Yes. Jacketed and non-jacketed reactors are offered for R&D and process use, including custom reactor assemblies made to drawing or sample.
What should we specify for a jacketed glass reactor quote?
Working volume, jacket utility (water, oil or other), number and size of nozzles, stirrer requirement, operating temperature range as you understand it, vacuum or pressure duty, and whether the reactor is for lab or pilot plant.
Can reactors be built as assemblies for API pilot plants?
The brochure notes recent work such as jacketed reactor assemblies for API pilot plants. Send the drawing or process sketch so we can review feasibility.
How does a lab reactor differ from a pilot plant glass reactor?
Lab units are typically smaller and sit on a bench or frame with glass condensers and receivers. Pilot plant reactors bridge toward production, with larger volumes and more process connections. We supply both ends of that range.
Do you publish standard reactor sizes and prices?
Geometry is quoted from your duty and drawing. We do not list catalogue capacities or prices on the website because they vary with nozzles, jackets and stirrers.
