Electrically heated reaction kettle

Electrically heated reactor

Overview

Electrically heated reaction kettles are mainly used in the petrochemical, chemical, rubber, pesticide, dye, and food industries, serving as containers for processes such as vulcanization, nitration, hydrogenation, hydrocarbonation, polymerization, and condensation, including reactors, reaction kettles, decomposition pots, and polymerizers, etc. Materials typically include stainless steel and carbon steel. These kettles are widely employed in the chemical, food, natural flavoring, food additive, and light industry sectors.

Equipment Structure

An electrically heated reaction kettle is composed of the kettle body, lid, stirrer, jacket, support and transmission device, shaft seal device, etc., with materials and apertures tailored to the user's process requirements. Made of 1Cr18Ni19Ti stainless steel plate, the stirring types generally include anchor, paddle, worm gear, propulsion, or frame styles. It is a cost-effective and easy-to-operate unit that heats the jacketed oil directly with electric heating rods, achieving high heating temperatures. The reaction kettle is made up of the lid, cylinder, jacket, stirrer, shaft seal transmission device, and support, and is suitable for various organic compounds in decomposition, synthesis, cracking, polymerization, and esterification reactions.

Heating methods include electric, oil, gas, water (or cooling), and open flame heating. Jacket types are categorized into jacketed and semi-tubular designs, with all jacketed oil heating types featuring a flow guide. Mixing types generally include paddle, anchor, frame, ribbon, and scraper types. High-speed types include diffuser impeller, turbine, high-shear, and propeller designs, catering to customer process selection. Transmission types include standard, explosion-proof, electromagnetic variable speed, and variable frequency motors, with heat exchangers available in trochoid pinion, worm gear, and planetary infinite variable speed configurations. shaft seals are of the standard water-cooled filling, combined four-fluorine filling, and mechanical seal types. Discharge types include ball valves and bottom-venting valves.

Features of the Equipment

The electrically heated reaction kettle features rapid heating, high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, hygiene, no environmental pollution, no need for kettle movement to heat, and ease of use.

Used in the petrochemical, rubber, pesticide, dye, food, and other industries for processes such as vulcanization, nitration, hydrogenation, hydrocarbonation, polymerization, and condensation. It relies on thorough mixing of the reactants and requires a stirrer for effective heating, cooling, liquid extraction, and gas absorption. We can also design and process external coil reactors for our customers.

Equipment Categories

Jacketing types include jacketed and half-tube jacketed, with all jacketed oil heating types equipped with flow guides. Mixing methods commonly include paddle, anchor, frame, helical, and scraper types. High-speed options feature diffuser impeller, turbine, high-shear, and propeller designs, allowing customers to select based on their process requirements. Transmission methods include standard motors, explosion-proof motors, electromagnetic speed control motors, and variable frequency drives. Gearboxes come in involute pinion, worm gear, and planetary infinite variable speed types. Shaft seals are typically water-cooled packed, combined packed, or mechanical sealed.

The reactor is composed of the pot body, pot cover, agitator, electric heating oil jacket, support and transmission device, shaft seal device, oil overflow trough, etc., and is equipped with electric heating rods and temperature and pressure measuring instruments. (See Figures 1 and 2) Due to the varying production processes and operating conditions of users, the type of agitation generally includes anchor, paddle, turbine, propeller, or frame. The bearing seat is available in suspended or supported styles. The jacket contains heat medium cylinder oil, heated by electric heating rods, with openings for oil intake, exhaust, overflow, venting, and electric heating rod and temperature measurement connections. The jacket outer wall is welded with supports, and the pot body has an outlet at the bottom.
