At Glasslined Technologies, we pride ourselves in providing a holistic approach to maintaining top of the line equipment in our unique industry.
Thinking about investing in a new glass-lined steel reactor? Glasslined Technologies would appreciate the opportunity to provide you with a competitive quote, as well as discuss ways we can best serve your parts and service requirements.
Let's keep these 5 benefits of glasslined equipment working with servicing and maintenance to prevent downtime:
1. Corrosion Resistance: Glasslined steel offers an amazing corrosion resistance to acids, alkalis, water and other chemical substances, the exception being hydrofluoric acid and hot concentrated phosphoric acid.
2. Flexibility: Glass is a material that can handle a diverse range of operating conditions, due to its chemical, mechanical, and thermal properties. This provides operators with the ability to change their process without having to invest in new equipment.
3. Purity: Some reactors can cause certain extractable metals, such as nickel and copper, to leak into and contaminate your product which can have harmful outcomes in the process reactions. Glasslined steel, however, is impervious to contamination and does not affect flavor or color, which is highly important in the food and drug industries.
4. Ease of Cleaning: Each reactor and its associated equipment must be properly cleaned between batches to avoid heat transfer resistance due to product buildup. Glasslined equipment has a high degree of smoothness, which resists the buildup of viscous product, and also allows for easy cleanup.
5: Cost-Effective: When properly handled and maintained, glasslined steel reactors can be a cost-effective solution compared to other metal reactors, whose durability and life can be shortened due to their inability to resist corrosion.
