Main Equipments of Epoxy Resin Production Line
1. Raw Material Conveying System
Liquid Raw Material Storage and Transportation: Liquid raw materials such as epichlorohydrin, epoxy soybean oil, chlorinated paraffin, etc. are stored in storage tanks and transported to reactor through a pumping system.
Solid Raw Material Transportation: Solid raw materials (such as curing agent, catalyst, etc.) are usually delivered to reactor by a screw conveyor or a pneumatic conveying system.
2. Reactor
Function: Reactor is mainly used for the synthesis reaction of epoxy resin. The production of epoxy resin usually involves the chemical reaction of epoxy compounds (such as epichlorohydrin) and curing agents to form high molecular polymers. The design of reactor should take into account the reaction temperature, pressure, stirring speed and other parameters to ensure that the reaction is complete and uniform.
Feature: Reactor is usually a jacketed reactor, and the reaction temperature can be adjusted by the jacket temperature control system. Reactor is equipped with an agitator to ensure uniform mixing of raw materials and promote the reaction.
3. Vacuum Degassing System
Function: During the production of epocy resin, some raw materials may produce bubbles or impurities, which will affect the quality of the final product. Vacuum degassing system extracts the gas in reactor to remove these unnecessary gases, ensure the stability of the reaction process and improve the quality of the product.
Equipment: Vacuum pump, vacuum box, etc.
4. Cooling System
Function: The heat generated during the reaction process may cause the temperature to be too high, so reactor needs to be equipped with a cooling system to keep the reaction temperature within a controllable range. The common cooling method is jacket cooling, which reduces the temperature by flowing water or coolant in the outer jacket of reactor.
Equipment: Cooling tower, cooling water circulation system, etc.
Epoxy Resin Production Process
The production process flow of epocy resin usually includes raw material preparation (epoxy compound and curing agent, etc.), mixing reaction (carried out in reactor), cooling and degassing, filtering impurities, final molding and packaging, etc. The whole process requires strict control of reaction conditions, such as temperature, time, stirring speed and curing agent addition, to ensure product quality.
Features and Advantages of Epoxy Resin Production Line
- High Degree of Automation: Epoxy resin production line usually adopt automated control, which can improve production efficiency and product consistency while reducing labor costs.
- High-precision Control: During the reaction process, key parameters such as temperature, time, pressure, stirring speed, etc. are precisely controlled to ensure stable product quality.
- Environmental Protection and Safety: Epoxy resin production line should meet environmental protection requirements, reduce harmful gas emissions, and the equipment design should have high safety performance to avoid dangers during the reaction process.
