ALTEBO.

Process systems

Industrial reactors and vacuum equipment

Machines in which mixing is only one of the variables. The rest is controlling temperature through an exothermic reaction, running under vacuum or pressure, the order and rate of dosing, recovering the solvent and recording everything that happened during the batch — so the next one comes out identical.

Process reactors

A closed vessel with a heating and cooling jacket and an agitator sized on the rheology of the batch. Mixing is only one part: the rest is temperature and pressure control, dosing of components and traceability of the recipe.

Line of stainless steel reactors and process vessels built by Altebo in its own production hall

Built to order

The vessel, the agitator, the jacket, the instrumentation and the panel — from one supplier

We run the whole chain in our own plants in Tomești (Iași county) and Bălți: design, cutting, welding, machining, assembly, testing and automation.

Vacuum mixing and drying

Vacuum lowers the boiling point of the solvent, so the product dries at a temperature at which it does not degrade. Chosen when the material is heat-sensitive, when the solvent has to be recovered, or when the product must never meet the hall atmosphere.

What goes into a process system, beyond the vessel

Temperature control

Jacket or half-pipe coil for heating and cooling, sized on the peak heat release of the reaction — not on its average.

Vacuum and pressure

The operating regime is defined at design stage, together with the certification requirements that apply to your process.

Dosing and weighing

Dosing ports in the lid, load cells under the frame, addition sequences driven from the recipe.

Solvent recovery

Vapour filter and condenser: the solvent is collected instead of reaching the vacuum pump or the hall.

Validatable cleaning

CIP and, where the process calls for it, SIP with steam — with internal geometry free of retention pockets.

In-house automation

The control panel and the PLC software are built in the same plant as the vessel, so the process diagram and the electrical drawing come from the same team.

What we need in order to size it

Volume on its own says nothing. A 5,000 L reactor for a resin and one for an aqueous solution are two different machines, with installed power differing by a factor of several.

Send us your process data
  • The product and its chemistry — this determines the build material and the type of shaft seal.
  • Viscosity at the start and at the end of the batch — agitator torque is sized on the final value, not the initial one.
  • Batch size and the number of batches per day — these decide the working volume and the cooling capacity.
  • The maximum process temperature and the heat released by the reaction.
  • The operating regime: atmospheric, vacuum or pressure — and the certification requirements that apply.
  • The solvent used and whether it has to be recovered.
  • Hygiene requirements: whether the product is intended for human consumption or for application to skin.
  • The space in your building: the clear height under the beam decides whether the machine goes in vertically or has to be redesigned.
