Used Parr 4568 | 600 mL T316 Stainless Steel High-Pressure Reactor

Parr 4560 Series Jacketed System with 4848 Controller (2000 PSI @ 225°C)

Scale your high-pressure research without the "high pressure" of a massive capital investment. The pre-owned Parr Instruments Model 4568 is a high-performance, 600 mL stainless steel chemical reactor engineered to handle demanding reactions involving corrosive agents, high temperatures, and extreme pressures.

As the largest volume in the trusted Parr 4560 Mini Series, the 4568 model provides the additional capacity required for pilot studies and meaningful batch yields while maintaining a compact laboratory footprint. This system features an external jacket for hyper-precise thermal management and includes the sophisticated Parr 4848 Controller. Sourced and verified by HiTechTrader—your partner for scientific equipment since 1982—this reactor offers professional-grade capability without the standard OEM lead times.

Technical Specifications

Core System Advantages

600 mL Capacity: The Ideal "Pilot" Volume

The Parr 4568 provides 600 mL of volume, making it the preferred choice for researchers moving from exploratory 100 mL/300 mL experiments toward pilot-scale process development. This additional headspace allows for higher yields and better management of foaming or gas-intensive reactions.

External Jacket for Superior Thermal Control

Unlike internal heating mantles, the jacketed configuration allows you to connect an external bath circulator. This provides:

• Uniform Thermal Profiles: Indirect temperature control prevents localized "hot spots" that can skew reaction data.

• Rapid Exothermic Management: The ability to circulate coolant allows for immediate quenching or cooling of active reactions.

• Precision Catalytic Studies: Maintains the exact isothermal conditions required for publishable research and repeatable pilot runs.

T316 Stainless Steel Construction

All wetted parts are crafted from T316 Stainless Steel, providing a high-strength, inert environment. This metallurgy is exceptionally resistant to oxidizing agents, acids, and high-temperature corrosion, ensuring the purity of your experimental outcomes and the long-term durability of the vessel.

Turnkey 4848 Process Control

This used system includes the Parr 4848 Controller, an advanced digital command center. It provides real-time monitoring and automated regulation of stirring RPM and internal temperature, significantly reducing manual oversight.

Typical Applications

• High-Pressure Chemical Synthesis: Safe management of corrosive or acidic reagents.

• Advanced Catalytic Reactions: Testing heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts.

• Pharmaceutical & Fine Chemical R&D: Precise API development and synthesis.

• Materials Science: Hydrothermal synthesis and testing material stability under extreme stress.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why choose the 600 mL model over smaller Parr vessels?

The 600 mL volume (Model 4568) is the most versatile size for benchtop work. It provides enough product for thorough analytical testing and downstream processing while still fitting comfortably inside a standard laboratory fume hood.

Is the Parr 4848 Controller included in the price?

Yes. This is a complete system package. The 4848 Controller allows for digital monitoring of both temperature and stirrer speed, which is a significant upgrade over older manual control systems.

What are the benefits of the magnetic stirrer?

Parr’s magnetic stirring system provides a leak-tight seal because there is no rotating shaft passing through the vessel head. This ensures high-torque agitation without the risk of pressure loss or contamination.

What is a high-pressure stirred chemical reactor?

A high-pressure stirred chemical reactor is a sealed laboratory pressure vessel designed to safely perform chemical reactions under precisely controlled elevated pressure, temperature, and agitation. Stainless steel reactors like the Parr 4568 are essential in catalytic chemistry and pharmaceutical research because they provide corrosion resistance, leak-tight containment, and uniform multi-phase mixing for consistent experimental results.
