Stainless Reactor
This category lists 13 factory-direct new stainless steel reactors — double-layer (jacketed) vessels from the BSF-2L bench unit through BSF-50L and BSF-100L pilot sizes up to the BSF-200L, so you can scale one jacketed design from lab trials to pilot production. Each model page covers lid ports, stirring and jacket connections; if your process needs visual monitoring instead, compare the glass reactor line, or send your specifications for model matching.
Stainless Reactor Selection Guide
UnionClay Stainless Reactor pages are built for procurement teams comparing stainless steel reactor options with model-level product pages, related equipment and quotation support.

Series snapshot from the table: 13 pages — ten BSF model pages from 2L to 200L plus three 316-material span pages covering 1L to 100L. Vessel bodies run Φ152 to Φ660. Drives run 90W direct on the bench frames to 400W gear-reduced at 150L-200L, with stirring bands of 60-1000 rpm (bench) and 60-600 rpm (10L and up). Jacket circulation ports: four male-thread standard, a KF25 clamp option on the 5L, six ports on the 200L.
How to Choose Within the BSF Range
Capacity picks the frame, but the stirring column is the detail that catches people. The 2L to 5L bench frames publish 60-1000 rpm with direct 90W motors; every frame from 10L upward switches to gear-reduced drives — 90W rising to 400W at 150L and 200L — capped at 60-600 rpm. A process that genuinely needs more than 600 rpm has to live in the bench frames; no 30L configuration on this sheet changes that. On the jacket side, most frames publish four male-thread circulation ports, the 5L adds a KF25 clamp ferrule option, and the 200L frame moves to six ports.
By capacity and footprint
Published vessels run 2L to 200L. The 2L and 3L share one OD Φ152*H220 vessel body, the 5L steps to Φ254, the 10L to 100L frames sit on Φ325 to Φ403 builds, and the 200L jumps to Φ660. The size column is the fastest reality check against bench or floor space.
By stirring requirement
60-1000 rpm is published only on the 2L, 3L and 5L direct-drive frames. From 10L upward the sheets list 1/3 gear reduction and a 60-600 rpm band — torque replaces speed as the frame grows. Check the speed band before the capacity, not after.
BSF series or 316 pages
The BSF model pages publish full vessel and electrical data. The 316 stainless steel reactor pages cover 316-material builds across 1L-100L spans and publish lid and port reference data — φ130/φ110 flange lid with clamp fixing and a φ40 stirring flange. Confirm the material grade scope at quotation.
Temperature control matching
These are jacketed vessels: the jacket needs an external circulation loop. GDX heating and cooling integrated machines publish matched reactor volumes up to 100L, and recirculating chillers cover cooling-only duty — both hubs are linked below.
Worked read of the table: a 50L pilot batch stirred at 400 rpm lands on BSF-50L — Φ403 vessel, 120W gear-reduced drive, 60-600 rpm band, four male-thread jacket ports. The same batch at 800 rpm has no home in this table: above 600 rpm only the 2L-5L direct-drive frames are published, so the requirement either moves to bench scale or becomes a custom-drive question at quotation. Capacity first, speed band second, jacket hardware third.
Frame-by-Frame Notes from the Published Sheets
BSF-2L, 3L and 5L bench frames
The 2L and 3L share one OD Φ152*H220 vessel; the 5L steps to OD Φ254*H320. All three publish direct 90W drives with the 60-1000 rpm band, and the 5L is the one frame adding a KF25 clamp ferrule option on the jacket ports — useful when the loop hardware is already clamp-based.
BSF-10L to 50L frames
Vessel bodies grow from Φ325 (10L) through Φ354 (20L) to Φ403 (30L and 50L), and the drives switch to 1/3 gear reduction at 90W to 120W with the 60-600 rpm cap. This is the span where pilot work usually lands — and where the rpm ceiling starts to matter.
BSF-100L to 200L frames
The 100L keeps the Φ403 body with a 250W gear-reduced drive; the 150L and 200L move to 400W, and the 200L jumps to a Φ660 vessel with six jacket circulation ports instead of four. Floor space, hoisting and loop sizing all change character at this end of the table.
316 stainless steel reactor pages
The three 316 pages cover 1L-2L, 3L-5L and 10L-100L spans for 316-material builds. Their published sheet is lid and port reference data: an outer φ130mm / inner φ110mm flange lid with clamp fixing, a φ40mm stirring flange and female threaded union connectors for funnel, condenser and thermometer sleeve.
How to Read the BSF and 316 Sheets
Reading the sheets correctly matters more here than anywhere else in the catalog: the BSF model pages publish full vessel, electrical and accessory data per model, while the 316 pages reference the bench-scale BSF-1L/2L/3L sheet as port layout guidance for their wider capacity spans. The BSF sheets also map lid ports A through H per frame — dosing, reflux, temperature probe and vacuum each claim a port, so the port map belongs in the inquiry alongside the capacity.
The published applications for this category — pilot reaction, stainless vessel mixing, temperature-controlled synthesis and process development — all assume that pairing of vessel and loop. That is why the comparison table carries the jacket port column next to the motor column: the mechanical interface to the circulation equipment is as much a selection criterion as the capacity itself.
The BSF sheets go deeper than the columns shown here, and the depth is worth knowing before an accessory order: each model page also publishes its constant-pressure funnel configuration, a condenser specification (Φ76*L340 tube bundle on the 5L, Φ102*L300 coil through the mid-range, Φ134*L780 tube bundle on the 200L), the stirring shaft dimensions, stainless steel shaft and bottom-discharge materials, and the impeller type — two-blade anchor on most frames, double-layer cross on the BSF-200L. The comparison table gets you to the right frame; the accessory rows on that frame’s page finish the configuration.
What these pages do not publish: the steel grade on the BSF sheets (they state stainless steel without a grade — the 316 pages exist precisely for grade-specific builds), jacket pressure ratings and jacket temperature limits. Confirm grade certificates and jacket duty in the quotation rather than assuming them from the table.
Mistakes This Table Is Built to Prevent
Assuming a steel grade
The BSF sheets say stainless steel without naming a grade; the 316 pages exist separately for grade-specific builds. If an audit will ask for the material certificate, the inquiry should ask first.
Expecting 1000 rpm at pilot scale
The 60-1000 rpm band is published only on the 2L-5L direct-drive frames. From 10L upward the sheets cap at 600 rpm with gear reduction — a high-shear step planned at 30L needs a different plan.
Piping the jacket from habit
Most frames publish four male-thread circulation ports, but the 5L offers a KF25 clamp option and the 200L runs six ports. Hose and fitting orders should follow the port column, not the last project.
Forgetting the other half of the system
A jacketed vessel without its circulation loop is a tank. The GDX pairings reach exactly the 100L top of the matched range — quote the reactor and the loop together and the sizing argument disappears.
Quote Checklist for This Category
The sheets answer capacity and speed; the inquiry should answer the rest:
- Working volume and the frame it maps to — the capacity and vessel size columns
- Required stirring speed — above 600 rpm forces the 2L-5L direct-drive frames
- Steel grade requirement — BSF sheets are grade-silent; 316 builds are a separate page set
- Jacket circulation hardware — four male-thread ports standard, KF25 option on 5L, six ports on 200L
- Lid port allocation A-H — dosing, reflux, probe and vacuum each need a position
- The external loop — chiller or heating and cooling machine, sized from the hubs below
Selection FAQ
Which stainless steel reactor frames support stirring above 600 rpm?
Only the bench frames. BSF-2L, BSF-3L and BSF-5L publish 60-1000 rpm with direct 90W motors. From BSF-10L upward every sheet lists a gear-reduced drive with a 60-600 rpm band — if high shear is the requirement, plan it at bench scale or discuss a custom drive at quotation.
What jacket connections do BSF reactors publish?
Four male-thread circulation ports on most frames, with the 5L adding a KF25 clamp ferrule option and the BSF-200L listing six ports. Match these against existing hoses and the circulation equipment before piping — the exact thread specification sits on each product page.
How do I match a heating and cooling unit to these reactors?
Use the matched-reactor pairings in the heating and cooling integrated machine hub: GDX frames pair with 1-5L up to 100L jacketed vessels. Share the vessel capacity, jacket ports and temperature window with UnionClay and the loop gets sized as one system.
