Safe under pressure: systems for overpressures of up to 6 bar

Safe under pressure: systems for overpressures of up to 6 bar

Our plant is at the heart of our production. It must meet a wide range of requirements – from the manufacture of complex blended products to processes in which temperature, pressure, vacuum or a controlled atmosphere play a crucial role.

Today we are looking at two systems, each with a capacity of 6,300 litres, which are located in our explosion-proof production area and are therefore designed for the relevant production processes.

Two facilities, plenty of possibilities

The systems are manufactured from 1.4571 / AISI 316Ti. This titanium-stabilised austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel is characterised by good corrosion resistance and is therefore suitable for a wide range of demanding chemical production processes.

Both systems offer identical capabilities in terms of volume, temperature, pressure, vacuum and inerting. The key difference lies in the agitator used – and thus in the way in which different products and formulations can be processed.

With a capacity of 6,300 litres each, these units are particularly well suited to the production of larger batches and thus complement our versatile range of equipment for contract chemical manufacturing.

The difference lies in the agitator: the Viscoprop agitator for demanding mixing processes

One of the plants is equipped with a Viscoprop agitator with a power output of 7.5 kW. This provides high-performance agitation technology for processing a variety of product formulations.

This system enables processes to be operated in a controlled manner:

  • 6,300-litre capacity
  • Temperature control up to 201.4 °C
  • Vacuum down to 20 mbar
  • Overpressure up to 6 bar
  • Inerting with nitrogen is possible
  • Viscoprop agitator with 7.5 kW
  • Use in explosion-proof production areas


It is precisely the combination of mixing technology, temperature control, vacuum and pressure that makes the system so versatile. Depending on the formulation and process requirements, a range of different production conditions can be achieved.

In addition, various filter options are available as add-on components. It is also possible to connect the system to storage tanks.

Angled-blade agitator for efficient mixing

The other plant has a capacity of 6,300 litres and therefore offers the same production capacity. It is equipped with an inclined-blade agitator with a power output of 7.5 kW.

The plant thus offers a further option for processing formulations in line with their specific requirements.

An overview of the technical framework:

  • 6,300-litre capacity
  • Temperature control up to 201.4 °C
  • Vacuum down to 20 mbar
  • Overpressure up to 6 bar
  • Inerting with nitrogen is possible
  • 7.5 kW inclined-blade agitator
  • Use in explosion-proof production areas


Die unterschiedlichen Rührwerkstechniken ermöglichen es uns, bei der Auswahl der geeigneten Produktionsanlage gezielt auf die Eigenschaften und Anforderungen des jeweiligen Produkts einzugehen.

Controlled conditions for reproducible processes

Not every chemical product can be manufactured under the same conditions. Temperature, pressure, vacuum and atmosphere can have a decisive influence on the production process.

The systems therefore offer a wide range of options: the vessels can be temperature-controlled up to 201.4 °C, operated under a vacuum of up to 20 mbar and pressurised to up to 6 bar. In addition, inerting with nitrogen is possible.

This also enables us to simulate processes that require a controlled process atmosphere or defined pressure and temperature conditions.

Our production processes are controlled and documented via our process control system. In this way, we lay the foundations for reliable and traceable manufacturing in accordance with our customers’ specifications.

From production to the right packaging

Our service does not end with manufacturing. Once production is complete, the products manufactured on the production lines can be filled into IBCs, drums or jerrycans, for example, depending on the customer’s requirements.

Smaller quantities are also available on request via our small-batch bottling service.

In this way, we integrate production with the subsequent process stages and offer our customers a comprehensive, one-stop solution – from manufacturing in accordance with specified formulations and production instructions through to bottling and further logistics.

Are you looking for a production facility for your chemical product?

We would be happy to assess which of our facilities and processes are best suited to your specific requirements. As a full-service contract manufacturer, we support our customers not only with the actual production, but also from the very outset – when assessing technical feasibility and adapting a manufacturing process to our facilities.
