Stainless Steel Reactor

About Stainless Steel Reactor

A Stainless Steel Reactor is a specialized vessel designed to carry out chemical reactions under controlled conditions of temperature, pressure, and mixing. Made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel (usually SS 304 or SS 316L), these reactors ensure durability, chemical compatibility, and hygiene, making them essential equipment in industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food processing, cosmetics, and petrochemicals.

Key Characteristics of Stainless Steel Reactor

Key Characteristics of Stainless Steel Reactor

Material Construction:
Made from high-quality stainless steel grades such as SS 304 or SS 316L, providing excellent corrosion resistance and durability under harsh chemical and thermal conditions.

Capacity Range:
Available in capacities ranging from small lab-scale units (50 liters) to large industrial reactors (10,000+ liters), customizable based on process requirements.

Design Pressure & Temperature:
Engineered to operate under atmospheric to high-pressure conditions (up to 10 bar or more) and temperature ranges typically up to 250C, depending on jacket and insulation design.

Agitator Types:
Equipped with various agitators such as anchor, turbine, propeller, paddle, or custom-designed mixers to ensure uniform mixing and effective reaction kinetics.

Heating/Cooling Jackets:
Single or double jackets for steam, water, or other heating/cooling media to maintain precise temperature control during reactions.

Surface Finish:
Internal surfaces are mirror-polished (Ra < 0.5 m) or electro-polished to ensure hygienic conditions, easy cleaning, and prevent product contamination.

Sealing Mechanisms:
Use of mechanical seals or gland packing to prevent leaks around agitator shafts and ensure safety during operation.

Instrumentation & Control:
Integrated sensors for temperature, pressure, and level monitoring; compatible with PLC and automated control systems for precise process control.

Safety Features:
Fitted with pressure relief valves, rupture discs, safety interlocks, and emergency shutdown systems to ensure operator and equipment safety.

Compliance & Standards:
Designed and fabricated as per international standards such as ASME, FDA, GMP, PED, and ISO to meet industry-specific regulatory requirements.

Cleaning Capability:
Designed for Clean-In-Place (CIP) systems to facilitate easy and efficient cleaning without dismantling.

Customization:
Fully customizable in terms of size, shape, agitator design, and instrumentation to suit specific chemical or pharmaceutical processes.
