Metal Stirred Reactors

Each continuous stirred reactor is a complete system. This includes the reactor vessel, supporting stand, agitation assembly (magnetic stirrer, drive motor, belt, belt guard, impeller and digital tachometer), multiple process connections, drain, sample tube, temperature sensor, cooling coil and rupture disc assembly. Heating system and controls are optional.

We offer a complete skid mounted stirred reactor system complete with product loading, feed, reaction and receiving modules, mass balance and product analysis. We also offer a variety of controls from simple manual controls to advanced PC-based SCADA and DCS. Please refer to our pilot plant section for additional information.
