Reactor

Reactor

Tianfu made Reactor is an industrial equipment used for conducting chemical reactions, physical transformations, or biological conversions. In industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetics, reactors are core process equipment used for mixing, heating, cooling, fermenting, or synthesizing various substances. Stainless steel reactors are the preferred choice for food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade production due to their excellent corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and ease of cleaning.

  1. Tianfu types of Stainless Steel Reactors

2.1 Fermentation Tanks

- Application: Used in the fermentation processes of the dairy, brewing, and biopharmaceutical industries.

- Features: Typically made of 304 or 316L stainless steel, offering excellent sealing and sterile environments to prevent external contamination.

- Advantages: The stainless steel material does not react with the fermentation liquid, ensuring the purity and efficiency of the fermentation process.

2.2 Cold/Hot Tanks

- Application: Used in kitchens, food processing, and cosmetics formulation for stirring, heating, or cooling.

- Features: Multi-functional design suitable for making sauces, preparing beverages, and mixing cosmetics.

- Advantages: Stainless steel ensures precise temperature control and does not deform or release harmful substances due to temperature changes.

2.3 Chemical Reaction Vessels

- Application: Used for synthetic reactions in the chemical industry, such as acid-base neutralization and organic solvent reactions.

- Features: 316L stainless steel is often used in highly corrosive environments, with added molybdenum enhancing corrosion resistance.

- Advantages: Heat-resistant (304 stainless steel can withstand temperatures up to 800°C), with a smooth surface to prevent residue buildup.
