Labtex outlines its huge range of temperature control solutions... L
abtex supplies leading products including HUBER liquid temperature control systems, DIEHM glass reaction systems to 100 litres,
JUCCHEIM high pressure reactors, POPE wiped film or short path distillation systems, Nutsche filter dryers and Hitec Zang Automation for laboratory and pilot plant. We specialise in scale up equipment for
process R & D in the chemical, pharmaceutical, defence, aerospace, biochemical and other industries. Labinox design and supply stainless steel
fabrications for the process industries. Our work ranges from simple fabrications and machining to high specification bespoke projects for the pharmaceutical, food processing, water, paper and chemical industries. Working in conjunction with skilled fabricators and finishers, Labtex ensures that work is completed to the highest standard and is in accordance with relevant EU directives. In particular, the pressure equipment, ATEX and machinery directives. Huber is one of the leading manufacturers
of high precision thermoregulation solutions in research and industry. Their products ensure precise temperature control in laboratories, pilot plants and production processes, offering temperature control solutions for applications ranging from -125C to +425C. Huber has been driving technological
development and continuous innovation in the field of liquid temperature control since 1968. The introduction of Unistat technology in 1989 was a revolution in temperature control, setting industry standards for thermodynamics and accuracy. In addition to dynamic temperature control systems,
Huber’s product range includes immersion coolers, heated and/or refrigerated baths and circulators, and chillers. DIEHMoffers plain and jacketed glass
reaction systems with capacities up to 150 litres with up to DN450 technical flanges. Flat or round bottom designs are offered with a comprehensive range of accessories. Reactors are supplied with graduations as
standard, and zero dead space bottom outlet valves can be specified from a number of different designs and materials. Bottom valves are available for pneumatic operation and with integral Pt100 if required Labtex provides a wide range of
accessories in glass, stainless steel, PTFE and other materials. In addition to standard products, Labtex welcomes enquiries for bespoke manufacturing to customer designs and specifications and we provide complete systems including automation, temperature control, stirring and vacuum using many leading brands etc. Pope Scientific Short Path/Wiped-Film Stills
(WFS) and Wiped-Film Evaporators (WFE) successfully separate volatile from less volatile components for oils, fats, chemicals, polymers, nutraceuticals and fragrances etc., with a gentle process utilising the thin-film wiping action of feed liquid through a heated cylindrical vacuum chamber with high vacuum (i.e. vacuum distillation/evaporation). The brief (seconds) exposure of feed liquid
to heated walls is due in part to the slotted wiper design which forces the liquid downward with strict control of residence time, film thickness, and flow characteristics. Efficient thermal separation with minimum

product decomposition and maximum product quality result when using the Wiped Film-Short Path process for distillation. The Wiped Film process offers far superior performance to flash evaporators, falling film stills, rotary evaporators and similar equipment in any processing application where heat-sensitivity is a factor. Hitec Zang offers a wide range of turnkey
solutions, single components and services for the laboratories, pilot-plants and mini-plants for the chemistry, pharmacy, biotechnology and food sectors. The product range includes everything required for R&D with small reactor systems. Hitec Zang LabManager systems have become established as a quasi- standard for laboratory automation in the field of R&D. An interdisciplinary team of specialists provides support and consultation for all customers. Juchheim manufacture chemical and technical pilot plants made of stainless steel and special alloys according to customer specifications on a laboratory or pilot plant scale with reaction volumes ranging from millilitres to 150 litres. A pilot plant may be used for data collection, optimisation and collection of technical experience in chemical process R & D. With over 30 years’ experience in the
scientific and laboratory equipment supplies industry, Labtex can provide a complete maintenance and technical support service that is second to none.
