3. Safe and convenient

The Atlas HD 3 Bar Pressure System combines all the great user features of Atlas with all the safety features you would expect from a pressure system. It is equipped with a factory-set maximum pressure burst disc and pressure relief valve to ensure the glass reactor can never see an unexpected pressure rise. The safety enclosure has been designed to provide that extra peace of mind and to ensure a very safe laboratory.

5. Easy to use

Consistent with all the systems in the Atlas range, no tools are required, allowing simple twist-and-click configuration of the apparatus, large displays and intuitive control from the base unit or PC software.

Additionally, integrated filters can be used to separate solid catalysts from the mixture, enhancing the efficiency and purity of processes.

6. Stirred Autoclave Functionality

The system is equipped with an optimized stirrer that ensures thorough mixing of reactants, promoting uniform reaction conditions and improving efficiency and yield. Made from high quality materials, the pressure vessel is designed to withstand corrosive environments and maintain integrity under high pressures.

Safety features such as a factory-set maximum pressure burst disc, pressure relief valves, and a robust sealing system prevent leaks and ensure safe operation under elevated pressures. The stirred autoclave can be easily integrated with other modules and accessories, allowing for customized setups tailored to specific research needs.
