We post the parts picture and its name of SSR reactor as many as possible, to help the starter to have a comprehensive understanding about the stainless steel reactor composition.

There are a variety of parts for the SSR reactor. The structured memory can carve the parts names on your brain.

First of all, I will show you the reactor basic parts picture and their name. After this, I'll show the specific parts photo and names belonging to basic parts.

Basic parts:

The SSR reactor is the reactor made from stainless steel. So, if we need to know the basic parts name of general reactors, we will know them of SSR reactor accordingly.

the drawing and photo showing the reactor parts

The left picture are the drawing and entity of the kettle style reactor, we marked the basic parts range with the colored frames.

Agitator:

The part in the red frame is the agitator. The agitator is assembled for stirring purposes.

Reactor Body:

The rest parts except the agitator could be called as reactor body.
And the reactor body could be seperated into two parts shown as in the drawing.
ᆞ The parts in blue frames are named as reactor heads, the head on the top could be called as upper head, the one at the bottom is bottom head.
ᆞ The parts in green frame is called as reactor cylinder, or kettle cylinder.

Please note:

1) The picture just shows the a general kettle type reactor, there are many other types of reactors. But they are basicly with the same compostion. Another perticular case is the tower type reactor, whose profile is usual like tower or column. Because they don't have agitator, they're also called as static equipment.

2) As above mentioned, there is no special parts only for SSR reactors, so to know their parts name, just knowing the genearl reactor's parts name will be ok.

Parts name of agitator:

(1) Motor:

it offers the power of stirring. Usually , it is electric motor.

(2) Reducer:

It is used to reduce stirring speed of the motor shaft, so to offer required torque for stirring.

(3) Shaft sleeve sealing coupler:

This part to offer sealing purpose to prevent the medium leak from reactor kettle. There are three types of couplers, the magnetic sealing ( shown as the drawing in left side), the mechinical sealing( shown as the photo in right side), and packing sealing.

(4) Upper axis.

(5) axial coupler.

It is used to connect the upper axis and lower axis.

(6) Lower axis.

(7) Blades

. There are many types of baldes. It will be discussed in seperate article.

Parts name of reactor heads:

There are upper head ( shown as figure 1 )and lower head(shown as figure 2).

For the stainless steel reactor with kettle style, the heads are of same diameter.
They are opened with ports ( the specific ports drawing shown in figure 3, and the top view of upper head show in figure 4 ) of different sizes for different functions.
Ports and Nozzles:
Because of the numerous applications of the SSR reactors, the functions are a lot.
Basicly, the following ports are needed in common.
ᆞ The port for maintaining or installation:
For reactor with over 1000L volume, it is mainly using manhole.
And for the reactor less than 1000L volume, the reactor is designed with open style, that can directly sperate the top head from cylinder by unbolting the main flange.
ᆞ Ports for monitoring:
These ports are for temperature, pressure, PH valve, density, liquid level, glass window, etc. Generally speaking, the ports for temperature and pressure monitoring are the essential needs.
ᆞ Ports for charging and discharging:
As per the phases of medium and charging timing, the ports profile and size are different.

The compostion of reactor cylinder:

ᆞ For SSR reactor, the clylinder's inner surface must be made from stainless steel.

This is main part for the medium containing task.

ᆞ Outside of the kettle body, there is usually a jacket attached, either for heating purpose , or for insulation purpose. This kind reactor would be called as jacketed reactor.

ᆞ Sometimes, the jacket shape is coils, then it's name becomes to limpet coil reactor.

ᆞ There are also inner cooling coils , baffles, strirring axis support rack inside the kettle. And of course , whether using any of them or not, is depending on the chemcial process demands.
ᆞ The ports and related instrument to be use are decided by the perticular work principle of the SSR reactor.

All of above are the explanation on the stainless steel reactor compostion. This is just a general description, please check our blog category on instruments and assessories for reactos for details if you need. And please don't hesiste to leave us message on what component you want to know, we will glad to offer the info.
