Used Process Engineering Equipment

Discover a wide range of second-hand process engineering equipment. This category includes industrial mixers, dryers, centrifuges, reactors, filtration systems, and storage tanks used in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing industries. Find high-quality equipment made from materials like stainless steel and Hastelloy.

Key Purchasing Considerations for Used Process Equipment

• Material of Construction: Verify that the equipment's materials (e.g., stainless steel 316L, glass-lining) are suitable for your product and process conditions to prevent corrosion and contamination.
• Design Pressure and Temperature: Ensure the equipment is rated for the operating pressures and temperatures of your process and has a valid pressure vessel certificate if required.
• Previous Application: Understanding the equipment's previous use is critical to assess its condition and suitability for your new application, especially to avoid cross-contamination.

Frequently Asked Questions About Process Engineering

What is a glass-lined reactor?

A glass-lined reactor is a pressure vessel with an interior surface coated in a layer of specialized glass. This lining provides excellent corrosion resistance to a wide range of chemicals, prevents product contamination, and is easy to clean, making it ideal for pharmaceutical and fine chemical production.

How do I choose the right type of industrial mixer?

The choice of mixer depends on the materials you are mixing. For blending dry powders, a ribbon or paddle blender is common. For creating emulsions or dispersions in liquids, a high-shear mixer is needed. For gentle blending of liquids, an agitator in a tank is used. The viscosity of the product is a key factor in selecting the right mixer and motor power.
