OptiMix®

Introducing a new concept inglass-lined steel technology thatmakes all other reactor designsobsolete. OptiMix® optimizes themixing performance of glass-linedreactors by integrating threebaffles on the vessel wall.This innovative design greatlyimproves clean-in-place (CIP)efficiency, mixing and heattransfer rates.

DE DIETRICH’S 3009 GLASS SYSTEM

• Time-tested material of construction for chemical and pharmaceutical processingwhere corrosion resistance, inertness and cleanability are key concerns

• State-of-the-art glassing facilities utilize electric furnaces and controlled coolingbooths to reduce built-in stresses in the glass

• Quality control spark and thickness tests between coats ensure highest quality offinished lining

• The result is an impermeable, smooth coating of glass that is ideal forpharmaceutical and chemical applications

For more information on 3009 glass and our reglassing capabilities, refer to bulletins.

BENEFITS OF REGLASSINGBENEFITS OF REGLASSINGBENEFITS OF REGLASSINGBENEFITS OF REGLASSINGBENEFITS OF REGLASSING

• Ideal for situations when time andcost are a primary issue

• Turnaround time is within weeksversus months to fabricate anew vessel

• Nearly 50% cost savings comparedto buying a new vessel

• All reglassing is performed in theUS in accordance to the NBIC code

• During reglassing, upgrades such asextra nozzles and insulation ringscan be performed

• All vessels reglassed by DDPS comewith the same standard warrantyas new vessels

THE REGLASSING PROCESS• Old glass lining is removed by grit-blasting

• Steel repairs and modifications are made by welding

• Highly corrosion resistant 3009 glass is fused onto the preparedsteel in powerful, computer controlled electric furnaces

• External protective coatings are applied

• The end product is indistinguishable from new vessels!
