What are the cleaning methods for industrial reaction kettles (internal cleaning problems and solutions for reaction kettles)

Reaction kettle is an important equipment widely used in chemical and pharmaceutical fields, and its internal cleaning has always been a challenging task.
As we all know, various chemicals, sediments and residues are often attached inside the kettle in the process of use. If these residues are not cleaned in time, they will affect product quality and corrode the inner wall of the reaction kettle, which will have a serious impact on safe production.

Difficulties in cleaning the inside of reaction kettles

Adhesion and curing of residues

Untimely cleaning of the inside of the reaction kettle leads to solidification of internal substances over time, making it more difficult to clean.

Complex internal structure and geometry

Reaction kettles often have complex internal structures and geometries, such as stirrers, piping, heat exchangers, which make cleaning difficult due to the existence of dead corners and hard-to-reach areas between these components.

Safety and environmental impact

The residue inside the reaction kettle may be corrosive, toxic or flammable, and the cleaning process may bring safety risks and environmental pollution.

Efficiency and quality issues

As the traditional cleaning method mostly requires manual cleaning, the cleaning not only faces the risk of exposure to chemical substances, but also has poor cleaning efficiency and quality, which affects the daily production efficiency.

Solutions for automatic cleaning

High-pressure water reaction kettle automatic cleaning system consists of the following parts: high-pressure cleaning machine, automatic water replenishment tank, high-pressure rigid pipeline, high-pressure cleaning soft tube, three-dimensional automatic rotating nozzle, positioning device and automatic lifting device.

The system integrates multi-disciplinary technologies such as high-pressure waterjet, pipeline engineering, modern control system, etc. It utilizes high-pressure waterjet to quickly strike and strip off the dirt inside the reaction kettle.

Due to the composite motion of the three-dimensional rotating nozzle and telescopic rod, the high-pressure waterjet can cover any position inside the reaction kettle and complete the 360° dead-angle-free cleaning of the reaction kettle.

360 tank cleaning nozzle

1. Fully automated operation. The pressure, cleaning time and flow rate of high pressure water can be adjusted during cleaning, which can quickly clean the internal residue and achieve the purpose of saving resources.
2. The three-dimensional rotating nozzle is extended into the reaction kettle, and then the rod telescopes inside the reaction kettle and moves along the inner wall of the reaction kettle. The telescopic rod can avoid the obstacles in the reaction kettle during the movement to realize comprehensive cleaning.
3. There is no need to enter the kettle manually and no need to contact with chemical substances, which guarantees the safety of cleaning.
4. The sealed cleaning can avoid the splashing of waste water and the volatilization of waste during cleaning, avoiding the safety risk and environmental pollution.
5. Cleaning efficiency is several times or even a dozen times of manual cleaning, clean rate can be more than 90%.
6. The system has a wide range of applications and can be used for automatic cleaning of various reaction kettles.
