Structure, Advantages And Characteristics Of Stainless Steel Reactor | JCT Machinery

Structure

Stainless steel reactors are usually made of high-quality stainless steel materials such as SS304 and SS316. The equipment is mainly composed of three parts: tank body, jacket and stirring system. The stirring form is mostly frame stirring, the seal adopts sanitary mechanical seal, the interface adopts ISO standard quick-release clamp type, the inner surface is mirror polished, and the outer surface is mostly sandblasted, frosted and cold-rolled primary color matte treatment.

Advantages and Characteristics

• Excellent Mechanical Properties: Due to the strong mechanical properties of stainless steel, the reactor made of it can withstand higher working pressure and deformation, so it can withstand larger solid materials.
• Fast Heating Speed: Stainless steel reactor is a reactor used for physical or chemical reactions, which needs to have high thermal conductivity and cooling properties. The advantage of stainless steel is that the heating and cooling speeds are relatively fast.
• Excellent Processing Performance: Stainless steel has very good processing performance and can be processed into different shapes and structures according to actual process requirements.
• Strong High Temperature Resistance: Reactor needs to face different high temperature environments. In general chemical and physical reactions, the temperature is as high as 600℃. In high temperature environments, stainless steel materials can still be used normally.
• Strong Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel materials themselves contain elements such as chromium and nickel, and have good corrosion resistance. They can still maintain good corrosion resistance when made into reactors.

Precautions for the use of Stainless Steel Reactor

1. Before use, check whether the thermometer, pressure gauge, safety valve, bursting disc and other safety accessories of the reactor are intact; check whether the material valves and process pipeline valves are in the required position and whether the valves are intact; whether the pipe ports are leaking and sealed; whether the oil quality and oil level of reducers, mechanical seals, etc. meet the requirements.

2. First, turn on the power supply to drive the motor to drive the stirring operation, and observe whether there are any abnormalities in the transmission parts such as reducers and stirring. Add materials according to the time, sequence, speed, variety, quantity and process operation requirements such as heating, cooling and insulation. When adding large pieces of materials, they need to  be processed into small pieces before adding, and turn them by hand before starting the stirring, and then press the electric switch to start. Only when it can operate normally can it be officially stirred and operated. It is strictly forbidden to force start. If vacuum extraction is implemented for liquid materials, the vacuum valve should be opened slowly to prevent material impact.

3. During use, pay attention to the pressure, temperature and other parameters inside and outside the pot during the closed reaction, and deal with them immediately if abnormalities are found. It is strictly forbidden to change the reaction temperature or hit the pot body instantly. Keep equipment operation records in time and perform routine maintenance. The quality of stainless steel reactors is directly related to the life and property safety of users and units. Purchasing high-quality stainless steel raw materials can improve the overall performance of the reactor to a certain extent.
