PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Description
Stainless steel reaction vessels are among the most widely used core process equipment in industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food, valued for their excellent comprehensive performance in handling various processes including mixing, reaction, synthesis, extraction and concentration.
Based on the heating/cooling method, they can be categorized into electric heating, hot water heating, thermal oil circulation heating, far-infrared heating, external (internal) coil heating, jacket cooling, and internal coil cooling, among others. The selection of the heating method primarily depends on the required heating/cooling temperature for the chemical reaction and the amount of heat needed. According to the vessel material, reaction vessels can be classified into carbon steel reaction vessels, stainless steel reaction vessels, glass-lined reaction vessels (enamel reaction vessels), and steel-lined reaction vessels.
Core Materials and Characteristics
Corrosion Resistance: This is a key advantage. Commonly used materials include 304 stainless steel (general-purpose) or 316/L stainless steel (enhanced corrosion resistance, especially suitable for media containing chloride ions), capable of withstanding various acids, alkalis, and chemical materials.
High Cleanliness: Features a smooth, dense surface that is non-shedding, easy to clean, and sterilizable, fully complying with stringent hygiene standards such as GMP and FDA.
Mechanical Properties: Offers good strength and toughness, capable of withstanding certain pressures and temperature variations, ensuring a long service life.
Advantages & Features
Offers operational convenience and flexibility, supporting batch, semi-batch, or even continuous operation based on specific process requirements.
Temperature is easily controlled, and the production duration can be adjusted according to different industrial needs, allowing for relatively easy control of the reaction rate.
Application and Structure:
The Automatic Customized Chemical Stainless Steel Stirred Tank Reactor can be used as a retort in the medicine, chemical, and bio-engineering field. This equipment mainly consists of a canister body, whole jacket, and outer wrapping layer; heat preservation material is between the outer wrapping layer and jacket.
