The stirring support of the reaction tank broke, causing the stirrer to fall off

Some workshops have a distillation process; as the liquid material evaporates, it becomes more viscous and eventually the mixing frame breaks. How should this be dealt with?
Consider replacing it with a twin-planetary mixer or a high-viscosity mixer
As a equipment manager, it is obligatory to prepare equipment usage guidelines, including in particular the prohibitions; these guidelines should cover the range of operating conditions, assist in formulating process-related measures, and include operation manuals.
It is estimated that your bracket is cast; you can try replacing it with a welded steel bracket
The simple way is to contact the manufacturer; they will develop a plan based on the conditions on site, and they will be able to take everything into more comprehensive consideration. It just costs money, that’s all:D
If it’s cast steel, it’s a bit better as it can be welded. Cry if it’s cast iron
The problem lies in the mixing design of your reactor; it’s either the manufacturing factory or the designers who lack an understanding of the material conditions, resulting in an incorrect selection of the mixing mechanism. If necessary, please provide me with the name of your material, the processing method, and the dimensions of the tank; we will help you redesign the mixing system
There seems to be an issue with the selection of the mixing mechanism; generally, the strength of the frame isn’t a problem. If there is a problem, it lies with the coupling (we have experienced cases where couplings broke).
The frame of your reactor must be made of cast iron. A frame constructed from thick circular tubes, which are then welded together and precision-machined, offers excellent rigidity and hardness, making it perfect for mixing high-viscosity solutions. Of course, it’s important to choose a proper coupling as well. Another requirement is the presence of support points, which must be precision-machined before they can be used
If the frame breaks, it can basically be said to be a problem with the frame itself. Cast, poor quality.
