Witton is well equipped to handle a wide range of chemicals including flammable, corrosive and viscous materials. We have facilities to handle materials that melt between 20° C and 90° C. We are capable of carrying out exothermic reactions, polymerisations, distillations and recrystallisations. We have the facilities to isolate, wash and dry solids.
The reactors vary in size from 70 to 18,000 litres. They are capable of operating over a temperature range from ambient to 150° C and pressures from a vacuum of <100mbar absolute to a positive pressure of 3 bar.
The driers have an operating temperatue range of 10°C to 90°C with vacuum of <40mbar absolute.
Solvents and other materials can be stored and handled in bulk. Bunded bulk tanks have a total storage capacity in excess of 450,000 litres.
Raw materials can be handled from small to medium quantities in kegs, bags, drums, IBCs, or FIBCs to large quantites in bulk.
Finished products can be packed into quantities from a few kilogrammes up to bulk loads.
Refrigerated storage to -18° C and heated storage to +35° C are available. Warehouse storage is in excess of 1000m2 and there is additional storage space on site.
