Pfaudler RT Series VMX Drive

RT-Series reactors from 20 gallons to 500 gallons are equipped with Pfaudler’s VMX Mixer Drive. It provides a versatile, compact, clean package. The in-line design is composed of a C-faced motor suitable for inverter service, supported directly on the top of the gearbox. This design allows easier access to the process nozzles. Additional features are simple seal changeouts, low maintenance gearboxes, and plated (not painted) pedestal and gearbox components.

The new standard impeller for small-scale reactors (20 to 200 gallons) is the scalable Curved Blade Turbine (CBT), replacing the traditional Retreat Curve Impeller (RCI). Process scaleup and scale-down has been made easier and more accurate due to the geometric similarities between scalable impellers and Cryo-Lock® impellers. For the larger RT-Series reactors, the standard impeller is the Cryo-Lock Curved Blade Turbine.

Scalable Mixers

Concave Baffle

The new Concave Baffle provides 15% to 20% increased power investment over competitive offerings. It is provided with our TMI temperature sensor. The TMI is a spring-loaded temperature sensor, with no exposed tantalum and no gasketed joint.

Low Temperatures

Many processes today run at lower temperatures. All shells and heads of the RT Series utilize fine grain carbon steel which has significantly improved low temperature characteristics.

Since many chemical processes today require higher pressures, we have increased the internal pressure rating of our small reactors (5 to 100 gallons) to 150 psig. The jacket pressure rating for the small reactors is 125 psig. For our larger RT-Series reactors (200 to 500 gallons) the internal and jacket pressure ratings are 100 psig.

Higher Pressure Ratings

The RT-Series reactor can replace existing standard P-Series and E-Series reactors with minimal piping or support modifications. Additionally, the bottom outlet nozzle projection has been increased for easier access.

Easy Installation

Choose from a full line of Pfaudler RT-Series Glasteel reactors, with models ranging from 5 to 500 gallons. These configurations can be customized to meet specific design requirements.

Standard and Custom Designs

The specially formulated glass lining, fused to a steel substrate, is highly corrosion resistant and chemically inert to nearly all substances. It is the ideal environment for processing ultra-pure products.

Why Use a Glasteel® Reactor

Its smooth surface resists adherence by viscous or sticky materials and cleans easily. Glasteel is strong. Fusing glass to steel produces a composite material with the advantages of glass and strength of steel. It has a high resistance to impact and thermally induced stresses.
