Equipment

The SLS printer Formalbs Fuse 1 allows high precision printing in PA12 with a build volume of 165 mm x 165 mm x 300 mm. A workbench (Formlabs Sift) and a sandblaster are available for finishing the printed components.

This self-constructed unit is fully automized and allows the determination of pressure drop, and seperation efficiency (HTU/HETP) for our 3D printed columns and packings. It can be used for a wide range of column diameters as well as gas and liquid loads.

This test facility allows us to measure the liquid distribution in additively manufactured packings. A wide range of possible diameter can be investigated. Different liquid distributors and liquid collectors are available fo this task.

This extraction centrifuge can be used for liquid-liquid extractions in non-reactive and reactive systems. The RPM ranges from 0 to 6000 (= 0 to 1000 g). The feed stream can be varied between 0,01 and 1 L/min.

GC equiped with autosampler (120 vials) and FID detector. Software: LabSolutions

This device allows the computer aided determination of static and dynamic contact angles. Equiped with a thermostat chamber for controlled measurement environment.

The temperature controlled refractometer measures the refractive index in a range between 1.32000 to 1.70000 with an accuracy of +/- 0.00002 and the %Brix in a range of 0 to 0.95 with an accuracy of +/- 0.02.

The volumetric KF-Titrator V10S from Metler Toledo allows water analysis from 100 ppm to 100 wt.-%.

The level of measurement accuracy of this rotational viscometer for both Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids is +/- 1 % of the measuring range. The reproducibility is +/- 0.2 %. Viscosity measuring range: 1 - 6,000,000 mPas.

This fully automated lab reactor is an all-rounder used for batch reactions, extraction and for crystallization. Maximum working temperature: 125°C. Maximum vacuum: 25 mbar. An IKA Ultra-Turrax T25 digital is part of the unit. Software: Labworldsoft.

Not only good for cooking but most likely the cheapest lab reactor in the world :-) The temperature controlled Thermomix is used for the preparation of emulsions and suspensions.

The VLE measurement device VLE 602 from Fischer Technology allows the reliable determination of vapor-liquid-equilibria in a pressure range from vacuum to ambient pressure.
