MachineValley's Limpet Coil Reactor with Internal Coil is built with a single-wall vessel wrapped externally in a spiral half-pipe (limpet) coil, plus an additional coil mounted inside the vessel itself. This dual heat-transfer surface design significantly increases the total area available for heating or cooling, cutting cycle times for processes that need rapid temperature change or high thermal load.

1000-Liter Limpet Coil Reactor with Internal Coil
MachineValley 1000 kg batch, 800 L usable volume reactor with a 15 kW drive and speed up to 1450 rpm. Combines an external limpet coil with an internal coil for added heat-transfer surface and faster thermal cycling.
2000-Liter Limpet Coil Reactor with Internal Coil
Handles a 2000 kg batch with 1600 L usable volume, powered by a 30 kW drive at up to 1450 rpm. Dual-coil design boosts heat-transfer efficiency for quicker heating and cooling.
5000-Liter Limpet Coil Reactor with Internal Coil
Our 5000 kg batch reactor has a 3900 L usable volume, running on a 55 kW drive up to 1450 rpm. Internal and external coils work together to handle higher thermal loads without oversizing the vessel.
10000-Liter Limpet Coil Reactor with Internal Coil
MachineValley's largest dual-coil model: 10,000 kg batch, 7,800 L usable volume, 110 kW drive at up to 1000 rpm. Built for high thermal load, industrial-scale processes needing rapid heating and cooling.
Roughly doubles the external-coil-only area, the main reason this setup is used for large, high heat-load batches.
Sized for adequate torque at 0–1000 rpm, matched to agitator type and viscosity so mixing stays effective across the full 2,200 mm vessel.
Yes, each is rated and tested independently, since the internal coil also sees process-side pressure, not just media pressure like the external coil.
It's offset from the agitator's swept path with calculated clearance and anchored to the vessel wall or frame, not the shaft, to avoid vibration fatigue.
It's possible but not straightforward; the internal coil is welded in with its own nozzles through the top or side wall, so removal means re-certifying those weld points. It's better to confirm the need upfront rather than retrofit later.
