Process Vessels  Manufacturers, Traders, Suppliers

Mode of operation As Process vessels one designates vessels and vessels which are used for processes in the industry. They receive various goods in their cavities and separate them from their surroundings. Depending on the processes taking place in the vessels, these must be equipped with lids, flameproof closures, valves, measuring devices, agitators or filling systems. They can absorb liquid, gaseous and solid granular substances as well as mixtures. Filling and draining take place through openings that can be closed with lids. Special vessels can be operated with fixed pipes, fittings and valves.Properties Process vessels are often made of stainless steel or plastic. Stainless steel is extremely robust, can be cleaned very well and tolerates large temperature fluctuations without any problems. Manufacturers in the pharmaceutical industry prefer stainless steel for the production of special containers. Steel has a high heat transfer coefficient. It is therefore an ideal material for applications in which the process material is to be cooled or heated via the walls. Plastic is used for light containers. In combination with glass fibres, they are used to produce durable, lightweight containers that can absorb large quantities of liquids and sludge. Plastic containers are often cheaper to buy and can be produced quickly with simple means. Stainless steel tanks require more effort in production, but have longer service lives and better hygienic properties.application areasApplications include the chemical industry, pharmaceuticals, food processing, construction, all manufacturing industries and research and development. In the chemical industry, agitator vessels, pressure vessels, magnetic stirrers and bioreactors are required. Process containers are used for foods such as yoghurt, pasta for baked goods, chocolate or mayonnaise. Special, high-quality stainless steel grades are used in the pharmaceutical industry. The vessels are highly polished to meet the strict regulations for drug manufacturers. Plants for the production of biogas can be equipped with plastic tanks. These must close absolutely tightly so that the dangerous methane gas cannot escape uncontrolled.
