Is the distillation rate the same regardless of the stirring type in the distillation kettle?
Thread Content
Hello, everyone. Our company currently has a distillation kettle with a capacity of 4 cubic meters, equipped with a single-layer, three-blade agitator. If it is replaced with a twin-screw type mixer, or some other type of mixer that can distribute the material more evenly and enable mixing from top to bottom, could this significantly increase the distillation rate? What would be the approximate effect?
Installing two layers of impeller blades that turn upward can increase the distillation rate.

For distillation vessels with jackets, I think an axial-flow type of agitator is better; it can direct the material near the jacket toward the center, ensuring uniform heating, which should probably increase the distillation speed

Using a three-leaf push-type two-layer design, with the lower layer pressed down and the upper layer flipped upward, should improve distillation efficiency
