Overview

The PL300 ShearJet® benchtop processor is a pneumatic drive high pressure processor capable of being your everyday R & D tool and a small batch processor. The PL300 has proven to be capable of exceeding all competitors for process efficiency due to the Reaction Chamber® set energy transfer rates and superior product temperature control. The PL300 capabilities make it desirable because of great results on your product, ease of operator handling and durability. With industry first standard features in high pressure processors such as the ceramic plunger, diamond Reaction Chamber® set and plunger position viewing port make these innovative machines the ones to have in your laboratory. When you include the guaranteed scale up of the Reaction Chamber ® to production model chamber performance, it is a hard combination to match.

The operating principle is based on fixed opening flow paths and high pressure dissipation which creates acceleration to extreme velocities, thus creating the unmatched input of shear and impact energy to all of the product volume. The consistency of processing energy input provides the uniformity of droplet and encapsulation size reduction, maximum cell rupturing efficiency with high yields and agglomerate dispelling in suspensions.

Features:

• Portable benchtop machine
• Standard with diamond Reaction Chamber set (ultra high shear, fixed geometry) for longest wear life on a standard high pressure processor!
