English:
A Reactor Feed System is an automated system designed to precisely deliver multiple raw materials into a reactor according to formulated ratios.
Its core functions include material metering, conveying, sequence
control, and safety interlocks to ensure repeatability and safety in
chemical processes.
2. (System Structure)
Layer | Components & Functions |
Raw Material Handling | Storage tanks/silos + Pumps/pneumatic systems (pre-processing solids/liquids) |
Metering Control | Load cells/flow meters + Control valves (precision dosing, error ≤0.5%) |
Conveyance Execution | Screw feeders (solids), metering pumps (liquids), piping & valve manifolds (directed to reactor) |
Central Control | DCS/PLC (recipe management, sequence logic, data logging) + HMI (operator interface) |
Safety Protection | Pressure/temperature sensors, emergency shutdown valves, SIL-rated interlocks (explosion/leak prevention) |
High-Precision Dosing: Dynamic compensation (temperature/viscosity) ensuring accuracy.
Flexible Recipe Management: Multi-recipe switching for customized batch production.
Cross-Contamination Prevention: Integrated CIP/SIP (Clean-in-Place/Sterilize-in-Place).
Inherent Safety: ATEX certification, inert gas blanketing.
Real-Time Data Traceability: Automated batch reporting compliant with FDA/EMA.
