Systag and Berghof are collaborating on the german market in the field of hydrogenation and other reactions with gases. The BR-800/H2 combines the best of both worlds: automatic process control and high-pressure reactors.
The fully automatic hydrogenation reactor BR-800/H2 was specifically designed for hydrogenations or reactions with other reactive gases. All process steps are automated, from leakage testing and gas purging to the final reaction solution. Operation according to SOP recipes is possible, making your process reproducible and independent of the operator.

Product Description
The fully automatic hydrogenation reactor BR-800/H2 was specifically designed for hydrogenations or reactions with other reactive gases. All process steps are automated, from leakage testing and gas purging to the final reaction solution. Operation according to SOP recipes is possible, making your process reproducible and independent of the operator.
Easy handling
-
With the unique quick-release fastener, you can open and close the reactor easily and simply by hand without tools.
-
All fittings can be easily removed and refitted in just a few steps - e.g. for cleaning or component replacement.
Gasboard
The gas supply before and during the reaction is managed via the gas board prepared for wall mounting. The reactor is supplied with inert gas, vacuum, or reactive gas through it. The control is carried out via 4 pneumatic valves and a gas flow controller, which are controlled by the software. The pressure in the reactor is kept constant, reactive gas is dosed accordingly, and the consumed gas quantity is measured.
Armatures
As standard, all reactors are equipped with a vent valve, rupture disc, pressure gauge and PT-100. Further valves for gas/liquid sample addition or removal, overflow valves, pressure sensors etc. are added on a modular basis.
PTFE lining
PTFE lining for effective corrosion protection
-
For the use of highly corrosive media, thick-walled PTFE inserts or a complete PTFE lining of all wetted parts are available. Due to its exceptional chemical resistance, PTFE is a cost-effective alternative to special alloys.
-
Media contact of the reactor vessel is prevented by the O-ring seal in combination with the PTFE insert and cover lining.
-
In addition to unsurpassed corrosion protection, they benefit from reduced contamination and easier cleaning. PTFE inserts also serve as practical storage vessels for reaction mixtures.
Systag cPAT process control
The cPAT process control by Systag is a platform for modular and flexible process automation. All process parameters (reaction temperature, stirring, operating pressure, gas consumption) are centrally controlled, and all reaction data is comprehensively recorded. Existing devices can be easily integrated, and the RemoteX software can be modularly expanded. The control is carried out via a touch display or with a mouse and keyboard on an external screen.
Stirring
Our low-maintenance and powerful magnetic coupling ensures reliable mixing of the reactor contents with a variety of different stirrer geometries. All Berghof components are also designed for easy cleaning.
Whether gas entrainment stirrer, jet stirrer or anchor stirrer - our wide range of stirrer geometries guarantees optimum mixing of your reaction solution.
Highest Safety Standards
-
We use only high quality materials for reactor construction such as SS316TI and Hastelloy C-22.
-
Berghof sizes, tests and manufactures its high pressure reactors in accordance with current AD-2000 guidelines.
-
TÜV Süd approves each vessel design for highest international safety standards
-
Certificated pressure tests for safety and tightness for each reactor
-
Externally controlled pressure tests for reactors with a volume of 1L or bigger
-
All reactors are equipped with a rupture disc
-
Safe opening key for all quick lock systems
Specials
Both the reactor and the software are modularly expandable. The reactor lid can be individually prepared to accommodate liquid addition, various probes, catalyst baskets, electrodes, and cable feedthroughs. If necessary, reactors and components can be specially designed according to your requirements.
The RemoteX software is extendable with modules for distillation, liquid addition, etc. Existing peripheral devices such as thermostats, pumps, sensors, etc. can be easily integrated.
