The Fluitec Mixer/Heat-Exchanger type CSE-XR, developed and patented by Fluitec, is very well characterised and well proved in several hundred industrial applications for many years. It is the most important invention in the static mixing technology of the last decades.
Mixing and Heat Exchange
Your goal
…is the fast but gentle and uniformly distributed cooling or heating of highly viscous polymer melts.
Our solutions
…are worldwide leading in the performance of mixing and heat transfer. The patented combination of the optimised CSE-X-geometry together with an inverted multitube heat exchanger consequently leads to the geometry of the patented Fluitec Mixer/Heat-Exchanger type CSE-XR. Its unrivalled plug flow regime efficiently avoids the degradation of polymers and its high mixing efficiency inhibits maldistribution as it can occur in cooling processes of multitube heat exchangers.
Stationary films at the reactors and the internal tubes wall are continuously removed, due to the high mixing efficiency induced by the static mixing elements. Temperatures of cooling liquids can therefore be much lower, than compared to conventional heat exchangers, without the risk of freezing polymer around the cooling tubes. As a result, the CSE-XR reactors are comparable small and the residence time in the heat exchangers is reduced, while operating safety and product quality is increased.
- the tubes of the Fluitec Mixer/Heat-Exchanger type CSE-XR are removable as one bundle
- the surface can be cleaned and sterilized completely and well controlled
- the interfacial area of the Fluitec Mixer/Heat-Exchanger is strongly defined and in axial direction very constant, thus avoiding any maldistribution and improving the residence time distribution
- the large specific heat-exchanging area makes the Fluitec Mixer/Heat-Exchanger the ideal device for highly viscous liquids and for temperature sensitive media
Fluitec Mixer/Heat-Exchanger and -Reactors are built from DN 32 to DN 400 for almost any pressures and throughput rates.
