Temperature control is crucial for ensuring the quality of your finished product. Investing in a high-quality heating and/or cooling system allows you to maintain precise process conditions for optimal results.

A jacketed vessel, or water-jacketed vessel, is designed to give accurate temperature control of its contents. Fluid, often water, is circulated through the surrounding jacket to heat, cool, or maintain the product at a specific temperature.

Adelphi Jacketed Vessels

The Adelphi range of jacketed vessels is manufactured in pharmaceutical-grade 316L stainless steel, with a 304 stainless steel 1/4-bar low-pressure water jacket. They are compatible with non-pressurised water systems and can operate with hot or cold water. Each vessel includes a 1/4″ BSP water inlet at the bottom of the jacket and a 1/2″ BSP outlet at the top.

  • Crevice- and pit-free interiors
  • Polished surfaces for maximum hygiene
  • Suitable for both heating and cooling processes

Many manufacturing processes require both heating and cooling. For example, a product may need to reach a set temperature before being rapidly cooled during final stages. In such cases, a chiller can be integrated with the jacketed vessel. Adelphi provides expert advice on bespoke configurations, such as a 100L jacketed vessel recently supplied for an E-Liquid manufacturer, complete with a chilling unit.

The jacketed system uses a closed-loop connection via hoses or pipes, ensuring the circulating fluid never comes into contact with the product.
