Jacketed Kettle

Is the basic Machinery used by Chemical Processing & Allied Industry. There are different types of Reaction Vessels broadly classified as Jacketed, Limpet Coil & Top Open type with or without Internal Cooling or Heating Coil as per the need of the Process.
Jacketed Reaction Vessel consist of a Cylindrical vertical shell with standard torospherical dish on both ends.
A jacket is provided on the Outside of the shell for Heating the reactor by passing steam or thermic Oil. or Cooling the reactor by passing cooling media. Stiffener Rings are provided on shell in between the shell and jacket to give uniform circulation of the heating or cooling media and to intensify the vessel.
Agitator assembly mounted on the Top dish of Reactor consists of Shaft supported by Lantern Assembly on the Top End containing Bearing Housing with Tapered roller bearing and Ball bearing to withstand impact load and vibratory load ensuring smooth rotation of the Shaft. Water cooled Stuffing box filled with gland rope pressed by Gland pusher is also provided.
On the other end of the shaft Blade is fitted of different types as per the need of the Process viz. Single Anchor, Double Anchor, Gate, Paddle, Flat or Curved Turbine & Propeller types. Baffles are also provided inside the shell as per the requirement.
Top Dish of the Reactor is provided with various Nozzles viz. Manhole, Light Glass, Sight glass, Vapour, Addition, Reflux, Thermowell etc.
Bottom Dish of the Reactor is provided with an Outlet nozzle where valve is fitted.
