1. What is the difference between an SS Reactor Vessel and an SS Mixing Tank?
A reactor is typically a pressure vessel designed for chemical changes under specific heat and pressure, whereas a mixing tank is primarily used for physical blending or homogenization, often at atmospheric pressure.
2. Which grade of stainless steel should I choose?
SS 304 is suitable for general food and cosmetic use, while SS 316L is mandatory for pharmaceutical and corrosive chemical processes due to its superior resistance to pitting and acids.
3. Can these vessels be used for vacuum distillation?
Yes, an SS Reactor Vessel can be designed to withstand a full vacuum, which is essential for low-temperature distillation or de-aeration of sensitive products.
4. How is the internal finish measured?
The internal finish is measured in Grit or Ra (Roughness Average). For pharmaceutical applications, a mirror finish (240 to 400 Grit) is standard to ensure complete sterilization.
5. Do you provide explosion-proof motors?
Yes, for environments involving volatile solvents or flammable gases, we equip our vessels with flame-proof (FLP) motors and spark-resistant drive assemblies.
6. What types of seals are used for the agitator shaft?
We offer various options, including simple stuffing boxes for atmospheric tanks, and single or double mechanical seals for pressurized reactors to prevent vapor escape.
7. Can a mixing tank be used for heating?
Absolutely. Many SS Mixing Tanks are jacketed to allow for the melting of solids (like wax or sugar) during the blending process.
8. What is the typical maintenance schedule?
We recommend monthly inspections of the mechanical seals and gearboxes, and an annual check of the vessel wall thickness (ultrasonic testing) for high-pressure reactors.
9. Are your vessels compliant with international standards?
Yes, all vessels are manufactured following Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and can be certified according to ASME or CE standards as per client requirements.
10. Do you provide installation and commissioning?
Yes, as a full-service manufacturer, we offer onsite installation, piping integration, and operator training to ensure your production line starts smoothly.
