High-end Circulators for the Chemical Industry

Focused on the needs of customers, Julabo has for decades been setting the standard for reliable temperature control technology with its circulators. The new MAGIO series complements the product range in the renowned Julabo premium quality with bridge-mounted circulators, refrigerated circulators and circulators for the most demanding temperature applications that offer maximum flexibility in laboratories and the industry.

As a supplier to almost all manufacturing sectors, the chemical industry requires efficient and safe processes to cover the needs of production. Because most chemical reactions are either exothermic (release heat) or endothermic (heat is absorbed), reliable temperature control is of vital importance to the chemical industry.

Julabo developed the high-end circulators in the new MAGIO series with pioneering technologies especially for such requirements and manufactures them to the highest quality standards in Germany. In particular, the MAGIO refrigerated circulators from the MAGIO series offer the ideal conditions for precise external temperature control, which is used in the chemical industry, for example, in reactor temperature control.

Ideal prerequisite for reactor temperature control

In both chemical and biological processes, the conversion of substances often takes place in reactors, which allow constant conditions and a safe space for the reactions to be created. This requires temperature control systems capable of compensating quickly and accurately over a broad temperature range. This is why temperature control systems such as MAGIO circulators are used, because they react dynamically to temperature changes inside the reactor and compensate for them quickly and reliably. The choice of temperature control system is influenced by the reactor type, size, and material (eg. glass or metal), the wall thickness and heat conductivity associated with the material, as well as the process to be temperature controlled. Pump capacity, pressurisation, heat exchange rates, and the efficiency of components in the temperature control system must cover the respective requirements exactly to guarantee process security and effective conversion of materials. Specially developed temperature control solutions are also considered for special requirements outside of standard temperature control. In most cases, however, this is not necessary, as the temperature control systems available on the market can be easily and efficiently adapted to individual requirements.

With the circulators in the MAGIO series, Julabo offers products in the highest performance class, with a working temperature range from -50°C to +300°C and a heating capacity of up to 3 kW. Thanks to the high heating and cooling capacity, the devices guarantee short heat-up and cool-down times. In combination with the high-performance power pressure/suction pump with performance values of up to 31 l/min or 0.92 bar (pressure) and -0.4 bar (suction), MAGIO is ideal for the most demanding external applications. The pump is not only the most powerful in its class, but also infinitely adjustable and therefore easy to adapt to pressure- or volume-sensitive external applications. In addition, samples can also be tempered in the internal bath. To ensure maximum resistance against chemical substances, all wetted parts are made from stainless steel. The high-quality insulation of all relevant components supports energy efficiency in operation.

Sophisticated and functional operation

The well-thought-out operating concept of the new MAGIO series enables quick and convenient access to the most frequently used functions. All controls and safety functions are easy to operate from the front. The mains switch on the top of the circulator switches the circulator and refrigeration unit on and off simultaneously. The bright and extremely robust touch display is visible from afar and is easy to read even from a distance. The connected cooling unit is fully controlled by the circulator during operation. Inclined pump connections on the back of the model facilitate the connection of external applications. Modern interfaces such as USB, RS232 and Ethernet support easy remote control.

For optimal process reliability, critical states are indicated visually and acoustically at an early stage. Maximum safety is also provided by the automatic unit cut-off in the event of high temperature or low liquid level. The classification III according to DIN12876-1 makes safe operation possible, even with flammable fluids. The level indicator of the bath medium can be read at any time via the display.

The bath fluid is drained without special tools comfortably and cleanly via the drain tap. The magnetic front grid of the refrigerated circulator can be easily removed without tools for time-saving care and maintenance of the model.

Individual solutions

Thanks to the extensive range of accessories, the wide temperature range and the extraordinary dynamics, the circulators in the MAGIO series can be adapted modularly and individually to almost any application.
