Research Equipment

Using our own equipment, we carry out every stage of the pilot process in-house, from synthesis to separation and drying.

01

Clean Booth System

A clean workspace for handling semiconductor precursors, pharmaceutical materials, and other high-precision materials.
HEPA filters effectively block outside air.

Class 1,000 or better · 3,840 × 3,840 mm · Samin Science

02

5 L Stirred Autoclave

Used to validate high-pressure catalytic reactions at laboratory scale.
The internal surfaces are electropolished.

5 L · 100°C · 10 kg/cm² · 0–1,000 rpm · Ilshin Autoclave

03

Glass-Jacketed Reactors

Used to optimize pilot-scale processes and produce trial batches.

50 L × 2 units · 30 L × 1 unit · −15 to 150°C · 0.5 bar · BUCHI

04

Transfer Vessels

Used to mix raw materials and transfer them between process stages. Jacketed construction enables temperature control.

70 L × 2 units · SUS 316L · 1.9 bar · LS Engineering

05

Nutsche Filters

Used for solid–liquid separation and product recovery.

50 L × 2 units · 30 L × 1 unit · SUS 316L · 1.9 bar

06

Filter Dryer

Integrates solid–liquid separation and drying in a single agitated process.

30 L × 1 unit · SUS 316L · 1.9 bar

Equipment Details

Pilot-scale units are classified as glass reactors, whereas production-scale units are classified as glass-lined reactors.
