Methods to protect the enamel layer

As an excellent corrosion-resistant equipment, glass-lined reactors are widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, dye and pesticide industries. For glass-lined reactor, the thinning of the porcelain layer can enhance its toughness and reduce the thermal resistance, and improve the impact resistance to temperature difference, however, this also makes the porcelain layer in the use of the process is more vulnerable to damage. So, how should we protect this precious layer of porcelain?

When moving the glass-lined reactor, be sure to use the ear seat or bottom support, avoid lifting through the manhole or card to prevent collision and damage. Care should be taken when operating, rolling or lifting the vessel is prohibited.

When lifting the glass-lined reactor, use the ear seat or lifting ring as lifting point, avoid using manhole or connecting pipe (especially with soft material or blind plate) as lifting point.

During lifting, make sure that the lifting force is evenly distributed, because uneven lifting force may damage the glass-lined porcelain layer.

During transportation and installation, it should be ensured that the glass-lined reactor does not collide with cables, hooks or other hard objects, so as not to damage the porcelain layer.

Before shipment, adequate preparations should be made to ensure that the glass-lined reactor can be safely transported. The inside of the vessel should be equipped with protective measures or materials to protect the agitator and baffle from damage. These protective measures or materials should be removed only after the installation of the equipment has been completed and should be handled with care to prevent damage to the porcelain layer when removed.

Therefore, if you are not sure how to protect the porcelain layer of the glass-lined reactor, you can refer to the above suggestions so as to better maintain the equipment and prolong its service life.
