Aug 06, 2022

The reaction kettle and the stirring tank are often used in our lives, which brings us a lot of convenience. What is the difference between the two?

1. Heating device: the reaction kettle needs heating jacket or coil heating and cooling, that is, the mixing and mixing process of the medium is completed with the temperature; The stirring tank is usually only used as a simple stirring and mixing equipment, and does not participate in the reaction process, that is, it does not need to be heated.

2. Upper cover structure: the upper cover of the reaction kettle is a head; The upper cover of the mixing tank is usually a flat cover, which can be half opened, and rarely in the form of a head.

Overall structure: the overall structure of the stirring tank is simpler than that of the reaction kettle, which is convenient to manufacture and simple to operate.

4. Sealing: the reaction kettle often needs to be vacuumized or work under a certain pressure, and the mechanical seal must be installed to meet the requirements; The mixing tank can be sealed with ordinary packing.

5. Medium observation mode: observe the mixing of materials in the reactor through the mirror; The mixing tank can be observed through the half open cover or manhole of the upper flat cover, and the observation range is much larger than the mirror of the reaction kettle.

6. Cost: the structure of the stirring tank is simpler than that of the reaction tank, which is directly reflected in the production cost. Therefore, the price of the reaction kettle of the same specification is also higher than that of the stirring tank.

Similarities
