Baffles in the mixing container
Thread Content
I would like to ask the experienced colleagues, what standards can be referred to in the design of baffles for mixing vessels? How to determine the thickness of the baffle and its fixing method?
This is generally determined by the mixer manufacturer; it involves specifying requirements for the static equipment and is related to the calculations regarding the process fluid；
The function of the baffle is to ensure that the materials react evenly within the reactor; without a baffle, some of the materials may not come into sufficient contact with each other, which can lead to false readings at the end of the reaction. In such cases, it is necessary to use a baffle. Most baffles are of the plug-in type, with their bottoms fixed to the cylinder of the reactor. For glass-lined reaction vessels, the manufacturer provides special baffles. Sometimes manufacturers also use the baffle and the thermometer sleeve together.

Without clear evidence, let the process conditions decide
In the book on chemical plant equipment design, under the section on mixer design on page 38, there is information related to mixer accessories, such as baffles; you can take a look there.
