devices can be customised to suit you – thanks to their flexible
modularity. Miprowa® sets new standards in terms of quick
and easy scale-up: these compact devices effortlessly master
flow rates of up to several 10 m3 per hour.

This means Miprowa® offers companies in the chemical
rectangular channels on a millimetre scale. The inserts inside
can be positioned on top of each other in several layers to
form a finely-meshed flat grid, and can be varied specifically
to suit the requirements of the product involved: you have

a significantly higher heat transfer rate than conventional
devices, and well-nigh ideal temperature control.

All the advantages at a glance: Miprowa® devices
Miprowa® Lab – with a channel cross-sectional area of
12 x 1.5 mm2, this version possesses precisely the right
features for the laboratory scale, in order to develop a new
product, with equally efficacious options for developing and
optimising your processes. This versatile laboratory reactor
is available both as an interfacing module for the Modular
MicroReaction System (MMRS) or as a stand-alone device.
