Large volume processing of highly viscous melts including phase change

The Large Volume Processor program consists of horizontally arranged, heated reactors with either a single or twin (co- or counter-rotating) shaft which provide intensive mixing and kneading. The highly versatile large volume processors Reasil, Reacom and Reactotherm are characterised by the following advantages:

• Very large volumes
• The highest viscosity melts (up to 15,000 Pas) and solids can be processed efficiently
• Low shear processing
• Long residence times are achieved economically
• Mixing, devolatilisation, reaction and phase change (from melt to solid) can take place in the same machine.
• Reactotherm units are also available for batch operation

 A successful devolatilisation or reaction system consists of the appropriate processor design with integrated properly engineered subsystems. SMS can provide a complete system, including installation and start-up services, or full engineering and design documentation to allow you to add the necessary subsystems for our high volume processors.
