Glass-lined reactor for enhanced mixing performance
Optimize your chemical processes with a reactor that enhances mixing efficiency, improves heat and mass transfer, and reduces crystallization risks, all while maintaining a high standard of cleanability and operational flexibility.
Enhances Mixing and Heat Transfer Efficiency
The OptiMix® reactor from De Dietrich Process Systems is a specialized glass-lined mixing reactor engineered for complex chemical processes. Its patented design integrates three baffles on the vessel wall, optimizing heat and mass transfer, gas dispersion, and suspension capabilities. Primarily used in pharmaceuticals and specialty chemical industries, it excels in producing active pharmaceutical ingredients, high-purity solvents, and specialty polymers. The reactor operates efficiently across temperatures from -30°C to 260°C and pressures up to 10 bar, supporting both batch and continuous processes.
For enhanced durability, it features a DD3009 glass lining, providing superior corrosion resistance essential for handling aggressive chemicals. The standard setup includes a GlasLock® agitator and dual coil zones, with options for further customization based on process needs. Interchangeable with standard reactors, the OptiMix reactor eliminates dead zones through its unique paddle design, ensuring easy cleaning and maintenance without crystal buildup.
Meeting industry standards for safety and efficiency, it supports seamless integration into existing production lines with full automation capabilities. The inclusion of an integrated sensor on the shell allows precise control of reaction volumes, while optional features support additional operational requirements.
