Agitators & Reactors
Agitators & Reactors Overview
Agitators and Reactors are vital equipment for mixing, chemical reactions, and process intensification in various industries including pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food, and petrochemicals. PM Industries designs and manufactures a wide range of agitators and reactors customized to handle a variety of mixing and reaction needs from simple blending to complex chemical synthesis.
Our reactors and agitators are engineered for robust performance, uniform mixing, precise temperature control, and scalability.
Working Principle
- Agitators: Mechanical mixing devices that induce fluid motion to ensure uniformity, suspension of solids, heat transfer, or chemical reaction facilitation within a vessel. Agitator types include turbine, paddle, anchor, and propeller designs.
- Reactors: Vessels designed for controlled chemical reactions with integrated mixing, heating/cooling jackets, and instrumentation for process monitoring.
Key Features
- Customizable agitator types for various viscosities and process requirements
- Reactors available in batch, semi-batch, and continuous modes
- Jacketed or coil-equipped reactors for precise thermal management
- High-quality materials (SS 304, SS 316L, Hastelloy) for chemical resistance
- Variable speed drives and advanced control systems for optimized mixing
- CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilize-in-Place) options
- Designed to meet ASME, PED, and GMP standards
Applications
- Pharmaceutical drug synthesis and formulation
- Chemical process reactions including polymerization and crystallization
- Food and beverage blending and fermentation
- Agrochemical synthesis and formulation
- Biotech fermenters and cell culture reactors
