Reactor Mixers are ideal for reaction processes that require intense mixing, high speed dissolution, heating/cooling of viscous.
Processes
Chemical reactions are often accompanied by mixing. Whether they are combined in a small flask that is swirled by hand or in a hundred-gallon mechanically-stirred vessel, reactants generally undergo reaction faster and/or more completely when mixed properly. Mixing can influence not just reaction rate but also product distribution if more than one product is possible.
At the laboratory scale, the competition between reaction and mixing are not always readily seen. Mixing effects become more critical in industrial reactions where the rates of reaction, mixing and heat transfer approach one another.
