Do rolling bearings contribute to improving the performance of enamel-lined reaction kettles?

2020-11-25View Original

Thread Content

The stirring shaft of an enamel reactor is usually fixed at one end. If a type of rolling bearing could be used for a long time inside the enamel reactor vessel, it would make it possible to provide multi-point support for the stirring shaft. What practical economic benefits does this bring to the use of enamel reactors?

The poster is referring to the bottom bearing, I guess. It is quite difficult to add shaft supports inside a glass-lined reaction tank.

It is relatively difficult to add shaft support inside the tank. What specific aspect of difficulty are you referring to? Is it the difficulty related to rolling bearings? Is it the difficulty of the internal structure design of the tank?

The original poster, can you explain why rolling bearings are used? And where are they applied? How to solve corrosion problems? How to solve the problem with enamel?

First of all, I don’t understand; it’s just a simple idea. I have seen reaction vessels in the chemical industry whose stirring shafts can be as long as eight or nine meters; in addition to the motor end, there are also two support points inside the tank. Later, when I looked at enamel reaction kettles, I noticed that in most cases the motor was fixed at one end. I then wondered whether it would be economical to make the stirring shaft of such kettles eight or nine meters long as well. With support points inside the tank, the stirring shaft could rotate more quickly, and more stirring blades could be installed. By taking into account principles of fluid dynamics, could such changes bring about new economic benefits? It’s similar to how washing machines continuously optimize their drum structure and rotation speed in order to save energy and improve efficiency.

Your idea is fine, but the original poster should first understand the characteristics of glass-lined containers.

I checked online for the highlights related to enamel reaction kettles; it says things like corrosion resistance. The raw materials for ceramic bearings are also ceramic, and any medium that can be handled by enamel reaction kettles should be compatible with ceramic bearings as well.

To increase internal support, it is necessary to address how to form the enamel layer. Enameled containers must not have any sharp edges on their inner enamel coating.
