MachineValley's Half Coil Reactor, also known as a Limpet Coil Reactor, uses a series of half-pipe coils welded spirally around the vessel shell instead of a conventional full jacket. This design withstands higher heating/cooling media pressures and delivers faster, more efficient heat transfer than a standard jacket, making it ideal for high-temperature reactions, high-pressure steam applications, and processes needing rapid thermal cycling.

10000-Liter Half Coil Reactor Vessel
MachineValley's largest half-coil model 10,000 L batch, 7,800 L usable volume, 110 kW drive at up to 1000 rpm. Built for high-pressure, high-temperature industrial processes needing rapid thermal cycling.
Instead of one open water/steam space around the vessel, it uses coiled pipes welded to the shell, this handles higher pressure and heats/cools faster.
Closer coil spacing gives more even heating; wider spacing is cheaper but can leave uneven hot or cold areas on the vessel wall.
Yes, the coil can be split into separate sections, each connected to its own heating or cooling supply.
Yes, we check and test to standard pressure vessel requirements before delivery and also handle test pressure and repeated temperature changes.
Not fundamentally, but since heating/cooling happens faster, agitator speed is checked to make sure mixing keeps up with the temperature change.
