These reactors are used in many branches of chemical technology. Its main development is for producing cellulose pulp and fractionation of lignocellulosic materials.

M-k System 10 l medium-pressure reactor

Equipment manufactured in stainless steel for the pulping of pristine pastries or secondary (recycled). Capacities from 8 to 50 litres, working from 30 to 1,400 grams of material. Working consistencies between 2 and 7%. Adjustable rotor speed up to 1400 RPM. Displaced rotor to create the Vortex effect.

Laboratory 2 l. Heidolph Pulper.

This equipment allows mechanical pulp in water treatment, in such a way that the interlocking fibres that were free in the sheet of material are again separated each other, without appreciable changes in their structural properties.

Zanussi centrifuge.

Take advantage of the centrifugal force to dry certain substances such as cellulose pulp or fractionated materials to separate the components of a mass or mixture.

Shopper-Riegler PTA

Equipment for the determination of the degree of refining and drainage speed of pulp fibers.

Metrotec leaves shaping

It allows to know the physical-mechanical and optical properties of paper, cardboard and similar materials in sheets, it is necessary to produce them in the laboratory with a fast and reliable method that allows a sequence of rapid realization of leaves under similar conditions.

IDM Test sheet dryer

Used for quick drying of sheets of paper, both for the drying of leaves formed in the trainers manual and semi-automatic, and for drying samples for the calculation of consistency and moisture. Equipment with drying polished plate in order to avoid adhesion problems of the leaves. Special felt for easiest water evaporation.

REGMED Sprout refiner

Laboratory equipment used to refine material paste under standardized conditions, also used for the defibration of fibrous half-boiled materials. Used for the knowledge of the refining curves of paste materials used. Samples obtained from refining allow making sheets in the laboratory and also identifying their mechanical properties.

PTA Valley pile

It is used to refine a significant amount of paste/pulp 360 grams. Slow refining method though, at the same time, allows us to have a lot of paste to make measurements of the degree of refining and leaves in the laboratory. In this way, can be traced the different refining curves by means of which the material can be classified.

DYCOMETAL stove

Stoves responsible for reproducing the conditions of temperature and humidity necessary to optimize the samples to be tested.

Metrotec leaves press

Pneumatic press for pressing wet sheets of pulp and paper, under standardized conditions. Used when we get the leaves in the manual and semiautomatic shaping. Pressing of sheets is performed in two phases, first using drying paper and drying discs and then a second pressing by removing drying papers and replacing them with new ones. Press times of 5 and 2 min to 400 kpa.

1200 Series Agilent HPLC

It is used for the chemical characterization of lignocellulosic materials and its different fractions, determines its concentration in sugar (glucose, xylose and arabinose), acetic acid and optionally furfural and hydroxymethylfurfural.

METTER-TOLEDO TGA

This equipment uses a technique in which the mass of the sample is controlled (balance) versus time or temperature (thermal) while the temperature of the sample, in a specified atmosphere, is programmed. This technique offers the determination of the composition of lignocellulosic material. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is performed in polymers, food and pharmaceutical products, as well as many other materials.

UV Genesys 10 Thermo

Control software of standard instruments with specific applications for scanning, analysis of multistage kinetics, quantitative analysis and fixed wavelength. Ultraviolet-Visible spectroscopy (UV) is a spectroscopy by photon emission and spectrophotometry. Uses electromagnetic radiation (light) of the visible regions, near ultraviolet (UV) and infrared electromagnetic spectrum, that is, a wavelength between 380 nm and 780 nm. The radiation absorbed by molecules from this region of the spectrum produces electronic transitions that can be quantified. UV-visible spectroscopy is used to identify some functional groups of molecules, and in addition, to determine the content and strength of a substance.

6200 Parr calorimeter

The model 6200 is an oxygen bomb isoperibolic calorimeter controlled by a microprocessor which is widely used for routine and occasional calorific testing, generally for solid lignocellulosic or liquid fuels such as oils. It is an instrument used to measure the quantities of heat supplied or received by the bodies. That is to say, it serves to determine the specific heat of a body as well as the amount of heat released or absorbed the bodies.

Tuttnauer autoclave

The autoclave is a metallic thick-walled pressure vessel with a tight seal that allows to work at high pressure to carry out a reaction, a boiling or steam sterilization.

TELSTAR Lyophilizer

It is used for processes of dehydration, lyophilisation operates by freezing the material and then reducing the surrounding pressure to allow the sublimation of the frozen water in the material directly from the solid phase to the gas phase without passing by the liquid state. To speed up the process, cycles of freezing-sublimation are used to eliminate virtually all of the free water contained in the original product, while preserving the molecular structure of the lyophilized substance.
