Tornado brings better consistency to particle size and distribution in heterogeneous chemistry
Tornado brings better consistency to particle size and distribution in heterogeneous chemistry The situation The Development Team had been using round bottom ?asks with magnetic stirring. The problem was the grinding e?ect of the magnet, which resulted in irregular particle size and distribution. This meant that the conditions were di?erent when the experiment was scaled-up and moved to an overhead stirred system. The objectiveTo more closely replicate large scale overhead stirring conditions To improve particle size repeat-ability To perform agitation studies on impellor design The results The Tornado was more cost e?ective than having multiple overhead stirrers. It can run up to 6 experiments simultaneously, which means it o?ers superior productivity and improved scale up conditions. The
