In modern manufacturing and process industries, precision, safety, and efficiency are essential to achieving consistent product quality. Among the core equipment driving these results are chemical reactors — the heart of every chemical processing plant. Designed to carry out controlled reactions under specific temperature, pressure, and mixing conditions, chemical reactors play a critical role in ensuring the success of various industrial operations.

At Times Automation, we specialize in designing, manufacturing, and supplying high-quality chemical reactors built for performance, durability, and reliability. Our reactors are engineered to meet the complex needs of chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing industries, ensuring safe and efficient reaction processes.

What Are Chemical Reactors?

A chemical reactor is a vessel in which chemical reactions are initiated and controlled under specific operating conditions. These vessels are designed to handle different reaction types — whether exothermic (releasing heat) or endothermic (absorbing heat).

The design of a reactor depends on several factors such as:

• The nature of the chemical reaction

• Required temperature and pressure

• Mixing intensity and reaction time

• Material compatibility and safety standards

At Times Automation, our chemical reactors are constructed using high-grade stainless steel, mild steel, or alloy materials to ensure superior resistance to corrosion and pressure. Each unit is custom-built to deliver maximum efficiency and long operational life.

Types of Chemical Reactors

We provide a wide range of chemical reactors suitable for both batch and continuous processing applications. Some of the commonly used types include:

1. Batch Reactors

Ideal for small to medium-scale production, batch reactors allow complete control over each reaction cycle. They are widely used in pharmaceutical and specialty chemical production.

2. Continuous Stirred-Tank Reactors (CSTR)

Used for large-scale industrial processes where consistent product quality and reaction rate are essential.

3. Plug Flow Reactors (PFR)

Common in chemical and petrochemical industries, these reactors offer efficient conversion and high productivity.

4. Jacketed Reactors

Equipped with an external jacket for heating or cooling, ensuring optimal reaction temperature control throughout the process.

Every design at Times Automation can be tailored to include agitators, temperature sensors, pressure gauges, and automation features for seamless operation.
