IPP also stocks unused surplus reactors — manufactured but never installed — offering new-equipment performance with immediate availability. Contact IPP for details on new and unused inventory.
A re-glassed reactor has received a new borosilicate glass lining on the original OEM vessel body. IPP offers re-glassing through its UGE (Universal Glasteel Equipment) division, founded in 1995, which stocks 700+ vessels and 2,700+ parts. Re-glassed reactors restore the corrosion protection of the glass lining at significant savings compared to purchasing a new OEM reactor.
IPP stocks batch reactors with capacities from 2 L (0.5 gal) for pilot-scale and laboratory applications up to 80,000 L (21,150 gal) for large production-scale operations. The largest reactor in stock is a Mechanicca Sarda SS 316L at 80,000 L, and the largest glass-lined reactor is a Pfaudler BE at 70,100 L (18,500 gal).
Internal pressure ratings range from 0.5 to 358.7 bar across the batch reactor inventory. Full vacuum capability is available on a majority of reactors. Reactors are available with mechanical seals, packing seals, and double mechanical seals. Contact IPP with your process pressure requirements and our team will identify matching units.
Motor power ratings for agitators on batch reactors in IPP inventory range from 0.2 to 315 kW. A majority of reactors in stock feature agitation. The most powerful reactor currently in stock is the Mechanicca Sarda SS 316L at 315 kW (422.4 HP). Contact IPP with your mixing requirements for specific recommendations.
IPP stocks batch reactors with three primary seal types: mechanical seals, packing seals, and double mechanical seals. The seal type depends on process requirements including pressure, temperature, and the nature of the chemicals being processed. Contact IPP to discuss seal requirements for your application.
Batch-type agitated reactors serve a wide range of industrial applications. In pharmaceutical manufacturing: blending APIs, crystallization, and temperature-controlled mixing. In chemical processing: polymerization, hydrogenation, and oxidation. In biotechnology: cell culture, fermentation, and enzyme production. In food and beverage: emulsification and thermal processing. In cosmetics: base mixing and batch formulation. Reactors feature jacketed and pressure-rated designs, sanitary and CIP/SIP options, custom agitators and mixing blades, and ASME-coded, National Board, CRN, CE-marked, PED compliant vessels.
Glass-lined is the most common material of construction in IPP's batch-type agitated reactor inventory. Glass-lined reactors are available from Pfaudler and DeDietrich, among other manufacturers. Glass-lined construction provides corrosion resistance for pharmaceutical, chemical, and specialty manufacturing processes. Browse the inventory to see current glass-lined reactor availability.
IPP stocks stainless steel batch reactors across multiple grades including SS 316, SS 316L, SS 304, SS 321, and austenitic stainless steel.

Browse the inventory to see current stainless steel reactor availability.
Yes. IPP stocks Hastelloy batch-type agitated reactors in Hastelloy C-22, C-276, C-4, and other Hastelloy grades. Hastelloy reactors serve highly corrosive chemical processes involving acids, chlorides, and other aggressive media where stainless steel and glass-lined construction are insufficient. Contact IPP for current Hastelloy reactor availability.
IPP stocks titanium batch-type agitated reactors. Titanium offers exceptional corrosion resistance for specialized applications. Due to the limited inventory, contact IPP directly for current availability and specifications on titanium reactors.
Glass-lined reactors have a borosilicate glass coating fused to the interior metal surface, providing excellent corrosion resistance for acidic and alkaline processes common in pharmaceutical and fine chemical manufacturing. Stainless steel reactors use bare metal construction (316, 316L, 304, 321 grades) and are suited for processes where the metal alloy provides sufficient corrosion resistance, such as food/beverage, biotech, and many chemical applications. Glass-lined reactors require re-glassing when the lining is damaged, while stainless steel reactors do not have this maintenance requirement. IPP stocks both glass-lined and stainless steel batch reactors across its inventory.
Buying used batch-type agitated reactors from IPP can save up to 50% of capital and 90% of lead time versus buying new. The exact savings depend on manufacturer, capacity, material of construction, and condition. IPP provides detailed quotes with full specification matching on request. Contact IPP for pricing on specific units from our current batch reactor inventory.
