Retain the benefits of glassed steelRetain the benefits of glassed steel

PROSOL involves Pfaudler combining advancedcomputer modelling techniques with new mixingtechnology to custom-design the optimum solutionfor each reactor processing requirement.

These benefits are now available while maintainingthe advantages of glassed-steel reactor systems.Offering excellent corrosion resistance, glassed-steel is capable of dealing with the most sensitiveproducts over the widest range of applications,including:

• ultrapure products – including those used in

electronic clean room operations

• metal sensitive products – as no steel is

exposed to process metals, it is compatible

with chemicals and pharmaceuticals

• balanced products – which require their

flavour, colour and aroma to be preserved

• viscous and sticky substances – as the

exceptionally smooth glass surface means

there is minimum adherence and build-up.

PROSOL is a global solution that can be tailored to each local process.

PROSOL means youcan develop flowpatterns to suityour processrequirements.

PROSOL next generation mixing systems mean you canretain the benefits of glass-lined equipment whilematching the state-of-the-art effectiveness of alloy mixingsystems in any application range.

This opens up processing applications where a glass-lined solution may not always have been considered thefirst option. Now glass-lined is suitable for more uses in: - gas dispersion - transition regime blending and - high viscosity blending.

As the PROcess SOLution, PROSOL complementsPfaudler’s expertise as a worldwide leader in themanufacture of process systems. Pfaudler’s extensiveproduct range means the company has the flexibility tosupply individual elements for a Reactor System or atotal one-stop turnkey process solution.

Improve process efficiencies In addition to increasing the range ofapplications, Pfaudler PROSOL candeliver core benefits to yourprocessing needs:

• improve the effectiveness of

general purpose mixing

systems

• improve the performance of

existing solutions through

retrofitting

• reduce processing/mixing times

• minimise costs

• optimise product quality, yield

and throughput

• maximise energy efficiencies

USING computationaltechniques and new agitationcomponents, Pfaudler candevelop the optimum solutionwhatever the complexity ordegree of difficulty of yourreactor processing requirement.

This means all factors can beconsidered in arriving at theoptimum solution, including:

– blending– heat transfer– low level agitation– gas dispersion– high viscosity mixing– solids suspension– emulsification.

Problem solving is supported byresearch and developmentresources at our pilot plant andthrough Pfaudler’s establishedteam of experts.

PERFORMANCE can be maximised by selecting themost effective component or combination ofcomponents from Pfaudler’s enhancedproduct offering.

A key component in glass-lined mixingsystems is the baffle. Over the years,several different styles of glassed-linedbaffles have evolved, each oneproviding improved baffle effectivenessover its predecessor. The new concavebaffle is the latest in this line ofevolution. The revolutionary,patent-pending design ischaracterised by a dramaticimprovement in baffle effectiveness (seechart).

The other key component of any mixing system is theimpeller. An extension to the existing family of Cryo-Lock ® impellers, Pfaudler has added the following:
