Problems with material discharge from the reactor
Thread Content
The reaction in the reactor requires stirring with an agitator. Since the product becomes quite viscous after the reaction is complete, is it necessary to stop the stirring when discharging the product?
Control according to the on-site situation! Sure!
For viscous liquids, it is fine to stop stirring during discharge; only for materials containing solids is it necessary to keep stirring while discharging
May I ask, why is stirring necessary for solids-containing materials?
You can start stirring; stop it when there is less material left
It can be stopped as long as no precipitate is formed
Whether it is crystalline or not, just add a viscous substance; there’s no need to lower the temperature. If crystallization occurs, stirring needs to be kept on; otherwise, crystallization will take place.
It depends on the operating conditions, but it is essential to remember that the mixer should not be operated when there is no material present, as stirring an empty tank can cause the mixing shaft to swing, resulting in poor concentricity
The decision to stop stirring should be made based on the actual conditions of the materials and the discharge situation of the products inside the reactor
