Liquid mixing system

The outstanding properties of glass linings are not only useful in static vessels, such as storage tanks, receivers or columns, but also in reactors. Reactors work dynamically, under pressure, at vacuum, are heated, chilled, and have to induce chemical reactions between liquids, solids, gaseous elements. Sometimes static electricity can strain the lining. In order to fulfill these requirements, glass-lined vessels are fitted with glass-lined agitation systems. General configuration of a Glass-Lined mixing system In most cases, glass-lined mixing systems are top entry types. The following components are installed on an agitator support flange: Pedestal to support the drive system of the mixer Sealing system for passing the shaft through the reactor wall Coupling between shaft and gear box Gear box to adapt the rotating speed of the agitator to process requirements Motor, generally electrical, to drive the system Glass-lined agitator On other reactor nozzles: One or more baffles to optimize the agitation task Probes, e.g. for temperature, pH, level, sampling devices, etc. to control the reaction
