5 Tons Reaction Vessel

Q: What is a 5 Tons Reaction Vessel?

A 5 Tons Reaction Vessel (also known as a 5-ton capacity reactor) is a large-scale, heavy-duty industrial reactor designed for high-volume chemical and process engineering applications. The “5 tons” typically refers to its approximate structural weight or load-handling capacity up to 5 metric tons (5000 kg). It provides a controlled environment for mixing, heating, cooling, and reactions under pressure or vacuum, making it ideal for pharmaceutical API production, petrochemical refining, specialty chemicals, polymers, and large-batch manufacturing.

Q: What are the key features of the 5 Tons Reaction Vessel?

Capacity : Working volume typically 3–8 KL (3000–8000 liters). Construction : SS316L / SS304 stainless steel with mirror or electropolished finish (Ra ≤ 0.3–0.8 µm); optional Hastelloy or glass-lined for corrosive applications. Agitation : Heavy-duty top-entry agitator (Anchor, Turbine, Paddle, Helical Ribbon, etc.) with VFD drive (5–15 kW) and internal baffles. Pressure & Temperature : Full vacuum to 10–20+ bar (ASME rated); temperature range -20°C to +300°C. Compliance : cGMP and ASME Section VIII compliant, CIP/SIP ready with flush bottom valves.

Q: What industries commonly use the 5 Tons Reaction Vessel?

It is widely used in the Pharmaceutical, Chemical, Cosmetic, Ayurvedic, Herbal & Nutraceutical industries. It is also suitable for petrochemicals, food processing, polymer manufacturing, and bulk chemical production where high-volume, precisely controlled reactions are required.

Q: What heating/cooling and pressure options does the 5 Tons Reaction Vessel support?

The vessel features full jacket, limpet coil, or half-pipe coil designs for efficient heat transfer. It supports: Heating/Cooling Media : Steam (up to 15 bar), thermal oil (up to 350°C), chilled water, or electric heating. Pressure : Internal – full vacuum to +10–20 bar; Jacket – up to 10 bar. Temperature : Standard range -20°C to +300°C (extendable with special seals). Safety features include rupture discs, safety valves, and overpressure interlocks.

Q: What support and automation options are available for the 5 Tons Reaction Vessel?

Supports : Skirt or leg supports with optional load cells for weight monitoring. Accessories : Shell-and-tube or coil condensers, rockwool/polyurethane insulation with SS cladding. Control : PLC-based automation with HMI; optional SCADA integration. Ports & Instrumentation : Large manhole, sight glasses, PT100 sensors, pressure transmitters, pH probes, and zero-dead-leg bottom valves for complete drainage and CIP/SIP.

Description

5 Tons Reaction Vessel also known as a 5-ton capacity reactor is a large-scale, heavy-duty industrial reactor engineered for high-volume chemical and process engineering applications, where “5 tons” typically denotes its approximate structural weight or load-handling capacity up to 5 metric tons (5000 kg). These vessels are critical in industries requiring robust, reliable, and efficient reaction environments under controlled pressure, temperature, and agitation conditions. Common uses include petrochemical refining, pharmaceutical API production, specialty chemical synthesis, polymer processing, and large-batch food or agrochemical manufacturing.
