Lab and pilot
Laboratory Equipment
Rotary evaporators, jacketed glass reactors and short path distillers for trials, refining and pilot production.
Better Industry runs a dedicated factory for laboratory equipment alongside the plant extraction factory. The lab range covers the three pieces of glassware that sit at the centre of most extraction laboratories: the rotary evaporator for solvent recovery, the jacketed glass reactor for controlled reaction and crystallisation, and the short path distiller for separating and refining the extract.
Who This Equipment Is For
- Extraction laboratories developing a recipe before committing to production equipment
- QC and R&D departments that need controlled, observable process conditions
- Pilot plants refining small batches of crude into a finished distillate
- Universities and research institutes running botanical extraction studies
Problems It Solves
- Recipes that work in a beaker but cannot be reproduced on production equipment
- No controlled way to recover solvent from a small batch
- Reactions that need a stable temperature window across a wide range
- Refining steps carried out on equipment that was never designed for them
Key Benefits
Borosilicate 3.3 glass
GG-17 borosilicate glass gives the chemical and thermal resistance the process needs.
Wide temperature window
The jacketed reactor works from -60°C to 200°C with water or oil recycling.
Made in a dedicated factory
Laboratory equipment is built in its own factory, separate from the plant extraction lines.
A path to scale up
Lab results feed straight into the sizing of the production system.
