Catalyst cartridge packing system
Efficiently pack and seal catalysts into cartridges with precision, ensuring reliable and consistent preparation of chemical reagents for research and development processes.

Packs and Seals Catalyst Cartridges
The CatCart Packer from ThalesNano offers a reliable solution for packing catalysts into cartridges, tailored for use in chemical and pharmaceutical sectors. This bench-top device utilizes a vacuum system to ensure precise packing of solid, powder, and granule forms while minimizing waste. The CatCart Packer’s three-component mechanism—vacuum system, filter and sealing, and mechanical press—ensures safe and leak-proof sealing of cartridges, crucial for research and development and laboratory applications. Engineered for manual operation with continuous usage in mind, this device facilitates systematic catalyst screening and optimization. Its robust construction, combined with a compact footprint, allows easy integration into existing laboratory workflows, supporting a wide range of products, from active pharmaceutical ingredients to custom chemical reagents.
