THE GLASLOCK® SYSTEM

Product catalog summary

The GlasLock System Overview
The GlasLock system is designed for the installation of specific blade profiles and multiple flights of blades to meet process requirements, allowing for non-agitated volumes of less than 1%. It is the only system with removable blades, suitable for BE reactors and others, enabling lateral fitting and dismantling without full disassembly.

Characteristics and Advantages
GlasLock blades are lined with DD3009 glass for superior corrosion resistance and come in various designs. Key advantages include a multi-process system, individual blade dismantling, small agitated volume, easy maintenance, and limited blade stock.

Blade Angle and Flow Characteristics

90° Blade Angle: 100% radial flow, high shear, suitable for dispersion processes.
60° Blade Angle: 2/3 radial and 1/3 axial flow, important shear, used for homogenization, heat transfer, and suspension.
45° Blade Angle: Equal radial and axial flow, medium shear, moderate agitation, suitable for homogenization and suspension.
30° Blade Angle: 1/3 radial and 2/3 axial flow, low shear, moderate agitation, ideal for crystallization of fragile crystals.

Special Blade Designs

Hydrofoil Blades: Enhance pumping effect with low power consumption, major axial flow, medium shear, suitable for particle suspension, dissolution, and heat transfer.
Optifoil Blades: Run low volumes with high axial flow, facilitate reactor emptying, protect fragile crystals, and improve suspension.
Viscofoil Blades: Handle viscosity up to 120,000 cP, designed for axial flow at 45° angle, suitable for high-viscosity applications.

THE GLASLOCK® SYSTEM The GlasLock system allows installation of specific blade profiles as well as several flights of blades to better suit the process requirements. This system, therefore, makes it possible to obtain small, non-agitated volumes less than 1%. PROCESS SYSTEMS

The only system in the world with removable blades This system has been especially designed for BE reactors where the main opening is the manhole, but is usable for all kinds of reactors. Fitting and dismantling are carried out laterally, making it possible to work on the scraping agitators without completely dismantling them. With multi-tiered agitators, it is possible to modify just one stage independently of the others by leaving the agitator in place. The assembly of a blade in its conical emplacement, both fully enamelled, is done using a manual tool according to a simple procedure. GlasLock...
