Electrically heated reaction kettle

Electrically heated reaction kettle

Overview

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

Equipment Structure

An electrically heated reactor is composed of the pot body, lid, stirrer, jacket, support, and transmission unit, as well as an axial seal device. The material and openings can be customized according to the user's process requirements. Made from 1Cr18Ni19Ti stainless steel plate, the stirring methods usually include anchor, paddle, worm gear, pusher, or frame types. It is a cost-effective, easy-to-operate unit that heats the oil in the jacket directly with electric heating rods, achieving high heating temperatures. The reactor consists of the lid, cylinder, jacket, stirrer, shaft seal transmission unit, and support. It 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 jacketed and semi-tubular, with jacketed oil heating featuring flow guidance devices. Agitation types generally consist of paddle, anchor, frame, helical, and scraper designs. High-speed categories include dispersal impeller, turbine, high-shear, and propeller types, allowing customers to select based on process requirements. Transmission forms include standard motors, explosion-proof motors, electromagnetic speed control motors, and variable-frequency drives. Heat exchangers come in trochoidal pinion, worm, and planetary non-stop variable speed designs. Shaft seals are available in standard water-cooled filling, combined PTFE filling, and mechanical seals. Discharge types include ball valves and downward expansion valves.

Features of the Equipment

Electrically heated reaction kettle features rapid heating, high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, hygiene, environmental pollution-free, no need for pot movement to heat, and easy to use.

Used in oil, chemical, rubber, pesticide, dye, food industries, for processes such as vulcanization, nitration, hydrogenation, hydrocarbonation, polymerization, and condensation. It relies on thorough mixing of the reacting substances and requires a stirrer for effective heating, cooling, liquid extraction, and gas absorption. We can also design and process external coil reaction vessels for our clients.

Equipment Categories

Sleeve types include jacketed and semi-tubular, with jacketed oil heating types equipped with flow guides. Mixing methods commonly include paddle, anchor, frame, helical, and scraper types. High-speed options feature dispersal impeller, turbine, high-shear, and propeller designs, allowing customers to choose according to their process requirements. Transmission methods include standard motors, explosion-proof motors, electromagnetic variable-speed motors, and frequency converters, with reducers available in trochoidal pinion, worm, and planetary gearless types. shaft seals are typically water-cooled packed, combined packed, and mechanical sealed.

The reactor is composed of the pot body, pot cover, agitator, electric heating oil jacket, support and transmission device, shaft seal, and overflow oil trough, 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 among users, the type of agitation generally includes anchor, paddle, turbine, propulsion, or frame. The bearing seat comes in either 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 temperature measurement pipes. The jacket's outer wall is welded with supports, and the pot body has an outlet at the bottom.
