SS Reactor
A vertical jacketed reactor built to pressure vessel standards, with dimple, coil or full jacket and an electrolytically polished interior.
Overview
What This Pump Does
The stainless steel reactor is a special stainless vessel designed, manufactured and inspected in accordance with the pressure vessel standard GB150-2011 and the steel welded atmospheric pressure vessel standard NB/T 47003.1-2009, built to meet GMP requirements.
It uses a vertical circular tank with a jacket that can be dimple, coil or full type for heating or cooling, in 316L or 304 stainless steel. The inside surface is electrolytically mirror polished or mechanically polished, and tank welds use a flanging process with arc transition so there is no dead corner.
- Vertical circular reactor vessel
- Dimple, coil or full jacket for heating or cooling
- 316L or 304 stainless steel construction
- Electrolytic mirror polishing or mechanical polishing inside
Key Benefits
Built Around Heat Transfer And Cleanability
Three Jacket Types
Dimple, coil or full jacket, chosen for the heat transfer rate and the pressure of the heating or cooling medium.
Polished Interior
Electrolytic mirror polishing or mechanical polishing inside, with welds finished smooth.
No Dead Corner
Flanging process at the welds with arc transition, so cleaning reaches every surface.
Instruments Configured Per Order
Aseptic air filter and the rest of the instrument schedule are specified with the vessel.
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
Chemical Reaction Duty
Heated or cooled reactions where jacket performance sets the cycle time.
Pharmaceutical Processing
GMP oriented vessels where surface finish and documentation are part of the specification.
Food And Fine Chemical Production
Processes requiring controlled temperature and a cleanable vessel.
Who It Is For
- Chemical manufacturers
- Pharmaceutical and biotech producers
- Fine chemical and cosmetics plants
- Engineering contractors specifying reactors
Problems It Solves
Heat transfer is too slow
Jacket type is chosen for the duty rather than defaulted, which is what governs heating and cooling time.
Surface finish fails inspection
Electrolytic or mechanical polishing with smooth finished welds meets the finish the specification asks for.
Documentation is missing
Design, manufacture and inspection follow the referenced standards, with the document package issued with the vessel.

Compared With Other Options
| Mixing tank | A mixing tank blends at atmospheric conditions. A reactor is built for reaction duty with heavier jacket and pressure requirements. |
|---|---|
| Pressure vessel | A pressure vessel is specified by its code and pressure duty. A reactor adds the jacket, agitation and process fittings. |
Use Guide
Specifying A Reactor
Define The Reaction
Product, temperature profile, pressure and whether vacuum is involved.
Choose The Jacket
Dimple, coil or full jacket according to heat transfer rate and medium pressure.
Fix The Internals
Agitator, baffles, spray device and sampling points, all shown on the drawing before fabrication.
Agree The Documents
Confirm the document list at enquiry stage, since some records are created during fabrication.
