C.R.O.M

Chemical Reactor Operation Module


Modular Reactor System for Chemical Process Development, Optimization and Scale-up


Flecks C.R.O.M.

The CROM – Chemical Reactor Operation Module is a flexible process module for chemical and chemical-biological applications. It was developed to operate, control and monitor reaction processes in a precise, reproducible and scalable way.

With CROM, Flecks Brauhaus Technik Austria transfers decades of experience in stainless-steel plant engineering into the field of chemical process technology. The system is designed for companies, laboratories, research institutions and industrial development teams that need a robust platform for process trials, optimization and scale-up.


For Controlled and Reproducible Chemical Processes

Chemical processes require reliable control of temperature, mixing, dosing, pressure conditions, reaction time, safety functions and process documentation. CROM provides a compact, modular platform that can be adapted to the specific requirements of each application.

Depending on the process, the module can be used for reaction trials, formulation development, mixing processes, extraction, crystallization, process optimization or pilot-scale production. It enables users to test process parameters systematically, evaluate reaction behavior and generate reliable data for further scale-up.


Typical Applications


CROM is suitable for a wide range of chemical and process engineering applications, including:


  • Chemical reaction trials and process development
  • Pilot-scale production and scale-up studies
  • Mixing, homogenization and formulation processes
  • Extraction, crystallization or precipitation processes
  • Temperature-controlled reaction processes
  • Testing of raw materials, additives and process parameters
  • Research, technical center applications and industrial process development


Modular Engineering According to Customer Requirements

Each CROM system is designed according to the specific process, product and development objective. Reactor volume, agitator design, heating and cooling concept, dosing systems, sensor technology, automation, cleaning concept and safety functions are defined on a project-specific basis.

This creates a technical platform that is precisely tailored to the customer’s requirements — not a standard unit, but an engineered process tool for professional development and industrial use. On request, CROM can also be integrated into existing laboratories, pilot plants, technical centers or production environments.


Key Benefits


CROM offers a practical and scalable solution for chemical process development:


  • Modular reactor system for flexible chemical applications
  • Suitable for development, optimization and scale-up
  • Individual design according to process and safety requirements
  • Precise control of temperature, mixing, dosing and process parameters
  • Robust stainless-steel construction for professional industrial use
  • Integration of sensors, automation and process monitoring
  • Designed for pilot trials, technical centers and industrial process development
  • Developed by an experienced Austrian plant engineering company


From Process Trial to Industrial Solution


One of CROM’s key strengths is the connection between practical testing and industrial engineering. Processes can be evaluated on a small or medium scale and then systematically transferred toward larger production capacities. This helps reduce technical risks, improve process understanding and create a reliable foundation for investment decisions.

In combination with the technical center of Flecks Brauhaus Technik Austria, trials, process optimization and scale-up tests can be carried out under practical conditions. This enables a continuous development path — from the first process idea to a scalable technical solution.
