Asme glass-lined reactors for chemical processing
Optimize your chemical processes with high-pressure, corrosion-resistant glass-lined reactors designed to handle extreme conditions while ensuring product integrity and safety through precise mixing and thermal control.
Processes Corrosive Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals Safely
The ASME RT, RS, RA, and RX series reactors from GMM Pfaudler are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industries handling corrosive and sensitive materials. These glass-lined reactors offer unparalleled corrosion resistance, leveraging Pfaudler’s glass-lining expertise for enhanced safety in chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing environments. The reactors feature multi-part or single-piece designs with options for Cryo-Lock technology, which facilitates internal assembly, especially beneficial for applications ranging from active pharmaceutical ingredient production to acid recovery and specialty chemical formulation.
With sizes spanning from 5 to 15,000 gallons, these reactors cater to diverse production scales. The inclusion of the INTERSEAL dry9000® sealing system ensures robust containment and lowers maintenance needs, while the choice of 316L stainless steel base metal in RX series extends their application to ultra-clean environments. Each reactor integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, equipped with advanced automation options and PLC capabilities to enhance efficiency and reduce operational downtime. These reactors are also compliant with ASME codes, providing assurance of safety and reliability in high-pressure scenarios.
