About Batch Crystalizer
Description :
Crystallization is the formation of solidparticles within a homogeneous phase of saturated liquid. Its wide use has atwo-fold basis, a crystal formed from an impure solution is itself pure andcrystallization affords a practical method of obtaining pure chemicalsubstances in a satisfactory condition for packing and storing. This operationinvolves both heat and mass transfer. Cooling type agitated batch crystallizer setup consists of an open jacketed stirred vessel provided with water heating& cooling arrangement. The feed is prepared in the crystallizer itself withhot water and stirrer. The hot saturated solution in the crystallizer is thencooled by circulation of cooling water and crystals are formed.

Advanced Cooling and Temperature ControlThe Batch Crystalizer utilizes integrated water/glycol cooling coils and advanced PLC automation for maintaining precise temperatures during crystallization. With a temperature accuracy of 0.5C and control over the 5C to 95C range, operators achieve consistent, high-quality crystals. This ensures optimal efficiency and stable product output, critical for industries requiring strict process control.
Flexible and User-Friendly OperationBuilt for automatic operation, the crystalizer features a PLC-based control panel with HMI for easy monitoring and adjustments. Variable agitator speeds (20-100 RPM) facilitate tailored processing, while analog or digital display options add operational flexibility. Designed for easy cleaning and maintenance, it suits both batch and continuous industrial applications.
Customizable Design and Enhanced RobustnessManufactured from high-grade stainless steel, the Batch Crystalizer offers customizable dimensions to fit specific site requirements. Mirror or matte surface finishes, flanged/DIN connections, and a corrosion-resistant vessel ensure long lifespan and smooth operation. The systems robust design withstands atmospheric to 2 Bar pressures and rigorous industrial use.
FAQs of Batch Crystalizer:
Q: How does the integrated cooling system function in the Batch Crystalizer?
A: The Batch Crystalizer uses water/glycol cooling coils embedded in the vessel to regulate the process temperature. This mechanism enables efficient heat transfer during crystallization, maintaining the desired temperature range between 5C and 95C for optimum crystal formation.
Q: What types of industries can benefit from using this crystalizer?
A: The Batch Crystalizer is ideal for chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing industries requiring precise and efficient crystallization. Its robust stainless steel build and automatic operation support demanding industrial environments with stringent quality requirements.
Q: When should I choose a mirror or matte polished surface finish for the vessel?
A: Surface finish selection depends on process hygiene and cleaning protocols. Mirror finishes are preferable for applications where easy cleaning and minimal residue are essential, while matte finishes may be chosen for less critical cleaning needs or aesthetic preference.
Q: Where can the Batch Crystalizer be installed, and how are dimensions determined?
A: Installations are tailored to individual facility standards, with vessel dimensions designed according to customer specifications. Standard dimensions are 2000mm x 1500mm x 2500mm, but customization ensures compatibility with varied site layouts and process needs.
Q: What benefits does the PLC-based control panel with HMI offer?
A: The PLC-based control panel with HMI simplifies operational control, allowing for real-time monitoring, adjustment of parameters, and enhanced process automation. This minimizes operator error and ensures consistent batch quality.
Q: How does automatic operation contribute to efficiency?
A: Automatic operation enables seamless process management, reducing manual intervention and streamlining batch cycles. This increases throughput, ensures repeatability, and helps maintain safety and process consistency throughout production.
Q: What makes the cleaning process straightforward for this equipment?
A: The vessels smooth stainless steel surface, combined with customizable inlet/outlet connections, allows for efficient cleaning and minimal risk of contamination. This design is especially valuable for industries where hygiene and integrity are critical.
