Innovator® Pilot Scale Equipment

Pilot Scale STT® Production

The STT® system is a combination of patented processes and equipment for the manufacture of chemicals and pharmaceuticals. The Innovator® Series of reactors is well suited for pilot scale production and process optimization. There are 3 basic models in the Innovator® Series each tailored to different process requirements. Customized systems are available to meet the specific requirements of different chemistry applications.

Innovator® 100 – a pilot STT® system with external heat exchanger
Innovator® 200 – a pilot STT® system with internal and external heat exchanger
Innovator® 3000 - a pilot STT® system with an integrated high shear thin film evaporator incorporated as a second operational step within the same reactor

Innovator® 100

The Innovator® STT system is a larger capacity unit designed for early stage research through development and pilot phase. The Innovator® 100 has an external heat exchanger which is suitable for most applications.

Continuous production
Capable of producing significant amount of product for testing and client evaluation
Safe for hazardous reactions (ex. slow addition chemistry)
External heat exchanger for temperature control
Electronically controlled and data logging capability
Testing at the pilot scale translates directly to the commercial scale
Working volumes of 20 ml to 120 ml
