Overview
The DRUVATHERM® Reactor DVT 130 by Lödige is designed for high-speed mixing of reactants, ensuring prevention of local overconcentration and eliminating temperature gradients in the reaction field. This results in improved reaction efficiency, higher yield, and greater end product purity, suitable for multiphase processes.

Functionality
The reactor operates as a batch-process, high-speed reactor. It utilizes a three-dimensional movement of the product within a cylindrical drum, facilitated by mixing elements. This design ensures frequent contact among reactants and with the drum wall, optimizing reaction and yield. High-speed choppers enhance mixing and dispersion.

Applications
The reactor is applicable in various fields including cellulose derivatives (CMC, HPMC, HEMC, MC), starch, guar and tamarind derivatives, chemical and special chemicals, intermediate pharmaceutical products, plastics, and recycling.

Process Capabilities
The reactor supports reactions in both homogeneous and heterogeneous phases across solid, liquid, and gas combinations. It also facilitates heating, drying, granulating, and cooling processes.

Optional Equipment and Performance

• Speed variation via hydrostatic drive unit or frequency regulation.
• Product contact materials available in mild steel, austenitic steels, titanium, or nickel-based materials.
• Pressure range up to 40 bar.
• Heating/cooling jacket with temperature range up to 650 °C.
• Shafts sealed by double-action mechanical face seals.
• Peripheral unit parts supply up to a complete system.
