We are pleased to inform that Büchi AG has obtained ASME U stamp (pressure vessels), ASME UM stamp (miniature pressure vessels) and NBBI R stamp (repairs). These certifications are strengthening our regulatory approval portfolio and expand our geographic reach. 

Obtaining these new certifications shows Büchi AG’s strong commitment to quality, safety and regulatory compliance in pressure reactor design and manufacturing. 

A warm thank you to all staff members who were involved obtaining these new certifications – well done!

Our new video introduces the versoclave® laboratory pressure reactor - developed for demanding pressure reactions in corrosion-resistant pressure vessels made of steel and Hastelloy® as well as other metallic materials. 

The versoclave® enables safe reaction control in various pressure ranges - even with visual process control thanks to (optional) sight glasses. The versoclave® is available in standard versions as well as customized solutions.

Thanks to the optional fast action closure and reactor lift, the pressure vessel can be opened quickly and easily without tools - ideal for daily laboratory use.

Researchers of the ETH Zurich in collaboration with Buchi demonstrated that optimal stirring parameters play a key role in chemical plastics recycling. They introduced a criterion to enhance mixing performance and catalyst effectiveness to treat polyethylene and polypropylene. All experiments have been done in Buchi’s technologically leading PPR (Parallel Pressure Reactor) system.
