K-Type Glass-Lined Reactors: Precision Engineering for Specialised Processing

The Benchmark for Flexibility, Durability, and High-Performance

The K-Type (Open-Top) Glass-Lined Reactor is the industry standard for manufacturers requiring extreme versatility. Unlike closed-type vessels, the K-Type features a detachable lid and body design, allowing for seamless internal access. This makes it the preferred choice for processes involving frequent cleaning, manual ingredient charging, or complex maintenance schedules.

Our K-Type units are secured with high-tension industrial clamps and specialised gaskets, ensuring a hermetic seal capable of handling operating pressures up to 6 bar and vacuum conditions, providing a safe environment for volatile reactions.

Engineered for the Toughest Chemical Environments

The core of our K-Type reactor's performance lies in our proprietary enameling process. By fusing high-grade glass to a robust steel base, we provide a surface that is virtually inert.

• Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Utilizing high-performance enamels, our reactors withstand aggressive acids (including Hot HCl and H2SO4), alkalis, and organic solvents.

• Thermal and Impact Durability: Our glass-lining is engineered for high thermal shock resistance, allowing for rapid heating and cooling cycles without risking delamination or "fish-scaling."

• Purity & Non-Stick Properties: The ultra-smooth, non-porous surface prevents product cross-contamination and ensures that even the most viscous specialty chemicals do not adhere to the walls.

Versatile Applications Across Global Industries

The K-Type's adaptable design supports a wide array of agitation systems—from anchor and turbine to propeller blades—making it a multi-purpose workhorse for:

• Pharmaceuticals & APIs: Ideal for the synthesis of active ingredients where batch purity is critical and frequent cleaning validation is required.

• Specialty & Fine Chemicals: Perfect for the production of dyes, fragrances, and high-purity additives that require a zero-metal-contact environment.

• Agrochemicals: Reliable performance for the formulation of pesticides and fertilizers involving corrosive reagents.

• Research & Pilot Plants: The open-top construction allows for easy installation of specialized sensors and probes, making it a favorite for process scaling and R&D.

Key Technical Advantages:

• Capacity Range: Available from 50L to 16,000L to suit everything from pilot labs to full-scale production.

• Standard Compliance: All vessels are manufactured to meet ISO9001, CE, and ASME standards, ensuring your facility remains compliant with international safety regulations.

• Ease of Maintenance: The detachable cover simplifies the replacement of agitators and mechanical seals, significantly reducing plant downtime.

Notes

1: Calculated Capacity Refers to the volume below the flange, excluding the flange itself.

2: Support Options The type of support can be specified by the customer. If no specific request is made, lugs will be used as the default support.

Notes

1. Calculated Capacity
   The volume listed reflects the space below the high neck flange and excludes the flange itself.

2. Support Options
   Customers may specify their preferred type of reactor support when placing an order.
   If no preference is given, the default support will be lugs welded to the exterior of the vessel.

3. k1 and k3 Dimensions
   The values for k1 and k3 depend on the heating/cooling system type:

   • Use values before the slash ( / ) for full jackets.

   • Use values after the slash ( / ) for half-pipe jackets.

4. Drive Device Parameters

   • For Reference Only: The drive device specifications provided are for general guidance.

   • Final Selection: The specific type of rack reducer will be chosen based on the application’s requirements.
