Construction and Design
The Batch Cooling Crystallization Apparatus OperatiX - 02 is a floor standing unit with castors, built with an anodized aluminum frame and panels made of painted steel. Main metallic elements are made of steel. The crystallizer is a jacketed glass reactor with 1 liter capacity, fitted with temperature sensors and a stirrer for batch operation. A double blade variable speed stirrer, with 2 stirrers rated 0 to 300rpm, agitates the fluid. A feed tank, double jacketed and made of glass, holds 5L. A peristaltic feed pump delivers flow at 0 to 500ml/min with variable speed. K type thermocouples are located at key points of the system. A conductivity cell measures solution conductivity, ranged 0 to 2000μS/cm. Valves allow water circulation according to the process, whether heating or cooling. A set of three sieves, sized 0.5mm, 1mm, and 2mm, supports crystal size analysis. A vessel collects the crystals, and protection devices safeguard the electric circuits.
