Batch Type Fermenter

Capacity : 3L to 20L

A Batch Type Fermenter is a type of bioreactor applications where the entire fermentation process is carried out in a single batch, meaning all nutrients and microorganisms are added at the beginning, and no additional input is introduced during the process except for essential parameters like oxygen or acid/base for pH control. This fermenter operates in a closed system, making it ideal for producing a specific quantity of a biological product within a fixed timeframe. Batch fermenters are widely used in the production of antibiotics, enzymes, beverages, biofertilizers, and other microbial products.

These fermenter equipment are designed to offer tight control over parameters such as temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, agitation, and foam levels, which are crucial for optimizing microbial growth and product yield. They are typically constructed from stainless steel or glass, and may include automated systems like PLC or SCADA for efficient monitoring and control. One of the main advantages of a batch type fermenter is its simplicity in operation and process validation, making it especially useful in research, small-scale production, or applications requiring sterile, reproducible conditions. However, because each cycle must be completed before starting a new batch, downtime between runs can limit overall productivity compared to continuous systems. Dhruv Fabrotech, a trusted fermenter manufacturer in India, delivers efficient batch fermenters that meet the quality and performance needs of laboratories and industries alike.
