VERTICAL AGITATED AUTOCLAVE

SUNKAIER designs and manufactures custom made agitated reactors and autoclaves, tailored to every even very specific demand coming from fine chemical, pharmaceutical and food processing industry.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

A high-pressure autoclave reactor is a unique device used in laboratories and industries to conduct chemical reactions under high pressure and temperatures. These reactors are made with materials that can handle extreme conditions and ensure the safety of the process.

The working principles of agitated vessels involve the following key aspects:

  • Design: Agitated vessels are typically cylindrical or conical tanks equipped with an agitator system. The agitator system consists of one or more impellers or blades mounted on a shaft.

  • Agitation: The agitator system is driven by an electric motor, which rotates the impellers or blades within the vessel. This rotational motion creates turbulence and movement within the liquid or slurry, facilitating mixing and blending.

  • Heat Transfer: Agitated vessels often feature jacketed walls or coils for heating or cooling. This allows for precise temperature control during chemical reactions or processes.

  • Batch or Continuous Operation: Agitated vessels can be operated in batch mode, where materials are loaded, processed, and then unloaded, or in continuous mode, where materials are continuously fed in and products are continuously discharged.

  • Control and Monitoring: Agitation speed, temperature, pressure, and other process parameters are closely monitored and controlled to achieve the desired process outcomes.
