Outline

Continuous Reactor for Polymerization (Poly-condensation, Bulk polymerization, Emulsion, Solution polymerization), Monomer removal, Devolatilization and Deaeration

Hybrid Reactor has been added to KURIMOTO's product lineup. This new reactor is the next level in enhanced performance from our hold-up type reactors, and is based on KURIMOTO's knowhow for its twin-shaft continuous kneader (KRC Kneader) gained over many years. Hybrid Reactor has excellent basic performance in areas such as high-viscosity continuous processing, maintaining long residence time, plug-flow characteristics (narrow residence time distribution), self wiping performance and surface renewal effectiveness.
Efficient production is possible for process such as polymerization reactions and high degrees of residual monomer/solvent removal.

Details

Sample Flow

Sample Flow

Hybrid Reactor has several options of discharge methods (Nozzle, Vacuum tank, Gear Pump etc.) and can transfer to the next process.
Discharge methods are decided from products property (powder and granular material, strand material, high viscosity paste etc.)

Sample Test Flow

Sample Test Flow

Two Size (8L & 65L) of Hybrid Reactor as test machines are installed in our Machine and Technology Center in Sumiyoshi Factory, Japan and trials are available under high vacuum and high temperature condition with your raw materials.
