What types of agitators are there for 10l glass reactor?

There are several agitators commonly used in 10L glass reactors, each designed to meet specific mixing requirements.

Propeller-type agitators: These agitators are ideal for liquids of low to medium viscosity. They provide a strong mixing effect and are suitable for applications requiring high turbulence. Propeller-type agitators are often used in glass-lined reactors because of their ability to handle corrosive materials.

Paddle agitator: When uniform laminar flow is required, a paddle agitator is used. They are suitable for mixing solids and slurries and can be used in various types of reactors. The main advantage is that they are able to handle heavy blends, although they may consume more power.

Anchor agitators: These agitators are commonly used in the crystallization process. The blade is close to the reactor wall, which is conducive to good heat transfer. They are suitable for low speed applications and provide good heat transfer rates, but they may require more stirring power.

Turbine agitators: Turbine agitators are designed to provide a high level of shear force and are suitable for mixing high-viscosity liquids. They can be used in a variety of chemical processes that require high mixing efficiency.

PTFE lined agitators: Some 10L glass reactors use PTFE lined agitators because of their corrosion resistance and smooth operation. These agitators are particularly useful in applications where the reaction medium is corrosive.

Magnetic stirrers: Although less common in 10L glass reactor due to size limitations, magnetic stirrers use a rotating magnetic field to rotate a rod (or sheet) immersed in a liquid, providing a gentle mix.

Each type of agitator has its own advantages, and the most suitable agitator for a 10L glass reactor can be selected according to the specific requirements of the chemical process, the viscosity of the reaction mixture and the desired mixing efficiency.
