Today, let me introduce the difference between a mixing tank and a reaction kettle
The difference between a mixing tank and a reaction kettle: appearance and structure
-Mixing tank: specializes in physical mixing (dissolution, blending, homogenization), with normal/low pressure, open/semi open top cover, standard jacket/coil heating and cooling, simple structure, and low cost.
-Reactor: specializes in chemical reactions (synthesis, polymerization, oxidation, etc.), with high pressure/vacuum, fully enclosed upper and lower elliptical head structure, standard jacket/coil heating and cooling, complex structure, and high cost.
Operation and observation
-Mixing tank: can be opened for direct observation, sampling, and cleaning; Easy to operate.
-Reactor: fully enclosed, monitored by sight glass, pressure gauge, liquid level gauge, and temperature sensor; High degree of automation.
Structure of mixing tank: The mixing tank consists of a mixing tank body, a mixing tank cover, a mixer, a support, a transmission device, a shaft seal device, etc. Heating or cooling devices can also be configured according to process requirements.
The reaction kettle is composed of a stainless steel tank body, a stainless steel upper cover, a stirrer, a support, a transmission device, a shaft sealing device, etc. The stirring tank body and the cover can be connected by welding or by flange sealing; We can provide process pipe holes for feeding, discharging, sight glass, temperature measurement, liquid level measurement, pressure measurement, steam distillation, safety venting, etc. according to customer requirements. The cycloidal pin reducer is driven by an electric motor, and then the agitator inside the mixing tank is driven by a transmission shaft to thoroughly mix the materials; Various forms such as atmospheric pressure flat cover, mechanical seal, and labyrinth seal can be processed according to requirements. Due to different production processes of users, agitator forms include frame type, anchor type, blade type, spiral type, high-speed dispersing disc, high shear emulsification type, etc,
Stainless steel mixing tanks are widely used in industries such as coatings, building materials, chemicals, pigments, resins, food, and scientific research. This equipment can select heating and cooling devices according to the process requirements of user products to meet different process and production needs. The heating forms include jacket electric heating and coil heating. The equipment has a reasonable structural design, advanced technology, durability, and features simple operation and convenient use. It is an ideal equipment with low investment, fast production, and high returns.
