Glasslined Reactors

After a first a observation rounda during which the demand of glass-lined De Dietrich OptiMixAR reactors has been mainly concentrated on pilot size units (100, 250, 400 and 630 litres), we have seen a trend to apply the verified results on half-coiled production reactors of greater sizes : 6300, 12500 and even 16000 litres. The OptiMixAR concept (3 integrated baffles) convinces not only by the improvement of mixing properties and the reduction of reaction time, but also by the freeing of all the upper nozzles, and the deletion of product splashes on the wall (no vortex) and of dead zones always difficult to clean. The standardized OptiMixAR range has been extended and allows you from now on a complete scale-up from 10 litres laboratory reactors, made of QVF glass, up to 40,000 litres production-sized glass-lined reactors. Existing reactors can be up-graded into OptiMixAR ones during a reglass process. More than 200 OptiMixAR reactors have been sold in less than three years.
CleanValve : the new De Dietrich glass-lined flush valve

The new De Dietrich CleanValve flush valve series has been developed to guarantee a perfect clean ability. The dead zone has been minimized and its sealing improved. An additional cleaning port, tangential to the outlet nozzle, has been designed with an angle of 5A . A groove machined in this outlet nozzle allows us to drain the last product droplets and prevents liquid retention.
