OVERVIEW

Hygienic Production Reactor with Precise Temperature Control

The RC-L Series is a double-jacketed stainless steel reactor manufactured by Mechanimix. With a capacity of 500–5,000 liters, it provides precise heat control at 4 bar pressure and 20–160°C temperature range. The PTFE-scraped anchor agitator prevents wall residue; its CIP/SIP compatible hygienic design is preferred for temperature-sensitive formulations in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food industries.

Double-Jacketed Heating/Cooling

Homogeneous and indirect heat transfer via thermal fluid circulating in the jacket; ideal for temperature-sensitive formulations

PTFE-Scraped Anchor

Top-entry anchor agitator with wall scraping; ensures complete mixing and product homogeneity

CIP/SIP Compatible

Clean-in-place and sterilize-in-place with GMP standards support; minimum downtime

Vacuum & Homogenizer

Optional vacuum degassing and high-shear homogenization; smooth, bubble-free products

AISI 316L Contact Surface

Corrosion-resistant stainless steel; pharmaceutical and food-grade hygiene requirements

Pressurized Operation

Vessel: -1/+4 bar, Jacket: up to 6 bar; reliable operation under vacuum and pressure
