Reactor - Import export

The Large Volume Processor program consists of horizontally arranged, heated reactors with twin (co- or counterrotating) shaft which provide intensive mixing and kneading. The highly versatile large volume processors Reasil and Reacom are characterised by the following advantages: Very large volumes The highest viscosity melts (up to 15,000 Pas) and solids can be processed efficiently Low shear processing Long residence times are achieved economically Mixing, devolatilization, reaction and phase change (from melt to solid) can take place in the same machine. A successful devolatilization or reaction system consists of the right processor design integrated with properly engineered subsystems. SMS can provide a complete system, including installation and start-up services, or full engineering and design documentation to allow you to add the necessary subsystems for our high volume processors.

ProTec designs and supplies innovative solid-state polymer post-condensation lines and complete PET bottle flake recycling lines. The batch tumble reactor which combines homogeneous mixing with short processing times is the keystone of the line. The IV value (intrinsic viscosity as a yardstick for molar mass) of polyesters (PET, PBT, PTT etc.) and of polyamides (PA6, PA66 etc.) can be purposefully increased by precise control of temperature, vacuum and processing time, with or without defined addition of auxiliaries.
