Stirred-tank reactor OPTIMIX®

multipurposeprocesswith mixer

Exclusively from De Dietrich, the OptiMix® reactor design offers tremendous optimization of the mixing performance by integrating three baffles on the vessel wall and a temperature probe in the bottom part of the vessel. The OptiMix® design can be applied to all reactors in the DIN range (AE, BE, CE) This patented design enhances heat transfer, solids suspension and distribution, gas dispersion, gas flow rates and mass transfer. The OptiMix glass-lined reactor's performances are based on the integration of three baffles onto the vessel wall. This leads to a notable improvement in terms of mixing and heat transfer effeciency compared to standard reactors. This specific design also frees up nozzles that can be used for your process or for the installation of options such as sampling devices, spray balls and much more. The profile of the blades prevents the accumulation of crystals in the event of crystallization. This design satisfies two of industry's primary requirements: optimal process efficiency and improved cleanability of the reactor, as well as a reduction of the amount of dead zones which generally occurs with a standard, nozzle-mounted baffle. Optimix is also available in an Optimix HE version (heat exchange), which improves heat exchange even further. OptiMix reactors are lined with DD3009 glass for superior corrosion resistance and easy cleaning. They are also fitted with an integrated temperatur sensor in the bottom part which enables control of very small reaction volumes.
