Electrically heated reactor
Summary
Electrically heated reaction vessels are primarily used in the petrochemical, chemical, rubber, pesticide, dye, and food industries. They are containers for completing processes such as vulcanization, nitration, hydrogenation, hydrocarbonation, polymerization, and condensation, including reactors, reaction vessels, decomposition kettles, and polymerizers, etc. The materials are generally stainless steel and carbon steel. Electrically heated reaction vessels are widely used in the chemical, food, natural flavoring, food additive, and light industry sectors.
Equipment Structure
An electrically heated reactor consists of the kettle body, kettle lid, stirrer, jacket, support, and transmission unit, as well as shaft sealing devices. The material and apertures can be customized according to the customer's process requirements. Made from 1Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel plate, the stirring methods typically include anchor, paddle, screw, propeller, or frame styles. It is a cost-effective, easy-to-operate unit that heats the jacketed oil directly with electric heating rods, offering high heating temperatures. The reactor is composed of the kettle lid, cylinder body, jacket, stirrer, shaft sealing transmission unit, and support. It is suitable for various organic compounds for 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 types featuring flow guides. Agitator types generally include paddle, anchor, frame, screw blade, and scraper designs. High-speed options include dispersing impeller, turbine, high-shear, and propeller types, allowing customers to choose based on process requirements. Transmission options include standard motors, explosion-proof motors, electromagnetic speed control motors, and inverters. Heat exchangers come in trochoidal pinwheel, worm gear, and planetary variable-speed designs. Shaft seals are available in standard water-cooled filling, combined Teflon filling, and mechanical seals. Discharge types include ball valves and lower gate valves.
Equipment Features
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 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 customers.
Equipment Categories
Jacket types include jacketed and semi-tubular, with jacketed oil heating types featuring flow guides. Mixing methods commonly include paddle, anchor, frame, helical, and scraper types. High-speed models include scatter impeller, turbine, high-shear, and propeller types, allowing customers to select based on their process requirements. Transmission methods include standard motors, explosion-proof motors, electromagnetic speed control motors, and inverters, with reducers available in cycloidal pinion, worm gear, and planetary variable speed types. Shaft seals are typically water-cooled packed, combined packed, or mechanical seals.
The reactor is composed of the pot body, pot cover, agitator, electric heating oil jacket, support and transmission device, shaft seal device, overflow oil tank, 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 among users, the type of agitator generally includes anchor, paddle, turbine, propeller, or box type. The bearing seat comes in suspended or supported styles. The jacket contains heating medium cylinder oil, heated by electric heating rods, with openings for inlet and outlet oil, overflow, venting, and electric heating rod and temperature measurement pipes. The jacket exterior is welded with brackets, and the pot body has an outlet for discharging materials.
