PILOT FERMENTERS

<< Go Back

Frings produces special reactors for numerous applications, both for industrial production and for special tasks such as research and development:

• Pilot reactors from 8 to 200 litres of volume in polymer materials, glass, or stainless steel
• Battery-operated pilot fermenters for transportation of sensitive microbiological organisms
• Pressure-rated reactors
• Large reactors with several hundred cubic meters of volume for chemical and biological processes

HEINRICH FRINGS GmbH, a market leader in the design & manufacture of food and industrial fermentation equipment, has developed a new pilot fermentation unit for biological production processes.

Due to its modular design, the FRINGS Pilot fermenter PROREACT can be custom configured. This automated, PC-compatible fermenter is suitable for a broad range of applications in different processes, including: enzymes, microorganisms, fungi, algae, plant and animal cells. A choice of static aeration or a FRINGS mixing and aeration system can be selected to support these processes.

PROREACT is available in standard sizes ranging from 20 litres to 500 litres. A mechanical defoamer is also available to further optimize the fermentation process.

• Electro polished stainless steel vessel with (9) DN 15/DN 25 ports • Compatibility with probes and components for dosage, aeration, sampling, harvesting, CIP and defoaming • Central connections for inlet and discharge of steam, water, air and wastewater • Suitable for batch, fed-batch and continuous processes • Can be used as intermediate stage in scale-up processes or as production unit • Sterile aeration via FRINGS FRIBORATOR with high gas transfer rate
