Overview
Glass lined reactors are critical pressure vessel solutions for modern chemical and pharmaceutical processing, uniquely combining the structural strength of carbon steel with the exceptional corrosion resistance of specialized glass enamel lining. These glass lined vessels provide a chemically inert environment, making them the industry standard for complex reactions involving aggressive acids, alkalis, and diverse organic solvents.
VANVEO offers a comprehensive range of glass lined reactor vessel configurations to meet varying industrial scales and safety standards. Our portfolio includes open type, closed type, external coil, and GMP standard designs, allowing project engineers to select the most optimized solution based on specific process conditions—including internal pressure ratings, operating temperatures, and specialized heat transfer requirements. Every VANVEO glass lined reactor is 100% 20KV spark-tested to ensure maximum lining integrity and long-term operational reliability.

Working Principle
A glass lined reactor operates by combining mechanical agitation with controlled heating or cooling. The vessel is lined with a corrosion-resistant glass layer, which protects the metal structure from aggressive chemical reactions.
Heat transfer is achieved through a jacket or external coil, allowing precise temperature control during the reaction process. The agitator ensures uniform mixing, improving reaction efficiency and product consistency.
Different reactor types (open, closed, external coil) are designed to meet specific process requirements, such as pressure resistance, heat transfer efficiency, and operational safety.
