Glass-Lined Reactors

Glass-lined reactors are used worldwide, in very severe environments in chemical industries as well as for the glass layer sanitary properties in pharmaceutical industries.

The requirements for glass-lined reactors are reliability, safety, flexibility, efficiency, cost effective operation and availability for industrial processes.

In order to meet these requirements, especially regarding availability, in the 1980s, the European chemical and pharmaceutical industries defined and standardized, along with glass-lined chemical equipment manufacturers, a range of glass-lined reactors ranging in size from 63 litres to 40,000 litres and above, called “DIN reactors”.

Of course, for specific productions or applications, a standard DIN reactor may not be suitable, so Pfaudler manufactures and also customizes reactors according to the client’s specifications.
