Process Engineering: From custom reactors to heat exchangers
In the field of process engineering, reliability and customization of equipment are key factors for production efficiency.
C.L.A. is committed to providing complete, cutting-edge solutions for the chemical, pharmaceutical, food and cosmetics industries, developing critical equipment designed to ensure maximum durability, safety and operational performance.
Below is an overview of three main categories of our production: Reactors, Mixers and Heat Exchangers.
Reactors
Reactors are the pulsating heart of a istallation, the point where the main chemical and physical transformations of the process take place.
C.L.A. specialises in the design and manufacture of custom reactors, including large ones designed to operate under extreme pressure and temperature conditions.
Technical and construction details
Large-scale engineering
The imposing dimensions and construction complexity of the shell, characterised by numerous flanged connections and nozzles, demonstrate C.L.A.’s ability to manage complex and large-scale industrial projects.
Total process control
The multiple connections (manholes, nozzles) allow the integration of agitators, temperature and pressure sensors, as well as dosing systems, ensuring precise and continuous control of the reactions.
Certified quality
Each reactor is manufactured in full compliance with the most stringent international standards (PED, ASME), ensuring the highest levels of safety, structural reliability and operational performance even under high thermal and mechanical stress.
Mixers
The C.L.A. mixer is the ideal solution for formulating, mixing and preparing batches in environments that require high hygiene standards and high process accuracy, such as the pharmaceutical and food industries.
Main features
Integrated system
The unit combines a mixing tank with an integrated control panel, capable of managing agitation, temperature and dosing, ensuring process repeatability and stability.
Effective mixing
Equipped with high-performance agitation systems, the preparer is designed to mix fluids with different viscosities, ensuring high product homogenisation.
Mobility and flexibility
Often manufactured in a mobile version on wheels, it offers maximum operational flexibility, allowing easy movement and rapid integration into different production lines.
Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers are fundamental components in all processes that require precise and efficient thermal control.
C.L.A. solutions, mainly in shell and tube configuration, are designed to ensure optimal heat transfer between two fluids, preventing contamination and maximising energy efficiency.
Function and advantages
Process thermal control
Essential for heating, cooling, condensation and evaporation of process fluids, they contribute to stability and production continuity.
Solid construction and quality materials
Made of high-quality stainless steel, as evidenced by the construction finishes, they are suitable for operation under severe pressure and temperature conditions.
Customized design
The shell and tube design is carefully calculated and manufactured according to specific process requirements, taking into account flow rates, temperatures and fluid properties, to ensure high performance and perfect system integration.
