Glass Lined Reactors | Industrial Reaction Equipment

Glass-Lined Steel Equipment Customization

Glass-Lined Reactors

Our ASME/PED-compliant glass-lined reactors are designed for reliable service in corrosive chemical, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical industries. Our high-silica glass lining is bonded to premium substrate materials (including carbon steel, low alloy steel, and stainless steel) via high-temperature fusion, ensuring compliance with international safety and structural standards.

Structure and Materials

Metal Substrate
Carbon steel is typically used as the base material to provide the strength and stability needed to withstand internal pressure and mechanical stress during operation.
Enamel Lining
The enamel lining is generally 0.8-2.0 mm thick and offers excellent insulation performance. Under a 20 kV high-voltage spark test, the glass layer should remain intact without breakdown. It also provides strong resistance to a wide range of organic acids, inorganic acids, and organic solvents, making it suitable for highly corrosive process conditions.

Why Us

Certified manufacturing standards
We hold authoritative ASME (Section VIII Division 1) and CE (PED) certifications, ensuring full compliance with international safety and quality standards. This guarantees our glass-lined steel equipment meets the strict regulatory requirements of global chemical, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical clients.
In-House Enamel R&D Laboratory
Our dedicated in-house R&D center specializes in custom enamel formulations, including acid-resistant, acid-alkali resistant, high-temperature resistant, and wear resistant options. These proprietary formulas deliver exceptional durability against corrosive media, mechanical impact, and thermal shock, ensuring reliable performance in diverse operating environments.
Precision Belt Polishing Pretreatment
Prior to enameling, every steel shell undergoes rigorous precision belt polishing to thoroughly remove mill scale, pits, and surface impurities. This meticulous pretreatment process ensures superior substrate smoothness and integrity, providing an ideal, contamination-free foundation for strong and uniform enamel bonding.
Advanced Cold Spray Enameling Process
Our glass-lined equipment utilizes advanced cold spray enameling process with multiple high-temperature firing cycles. This technology ensures a thinner, more uniform, and denser enamel layer with significantly reduced risk of chipping or peeling. The controlled firing process guarantees optimal adhesion and long-term durability in the most demanding chemical processing conditions.

Multi-zone electric furnace control
The enameling furnace uses independent multi-zone control with computerized management of heating, holding, and cooling. The temperature difference inside the furnace is controlled within 5°C, helping maintain consistent firing quality.
Vertical firing process
All equipment is produced using a vertical firing process, which provides more even heating, reduces deformation, and helps maintain the overall appearance of the equipment as well as flange flatness.
Controlled slow firing curve
The firing process follows a low-temperature entry and low-temperature exit slow-firing curve. Combined with dedicated furnace tooling and controlled firing methods, this helps ensure enamel quality comparable to that of established international manufacturers.
Full-process quality management
We maintain a complete quality management system with full-process control. For glass-lined quality inspection, we apply three inspection procedures covering:
1. internal and external visible defects
2. enamel thickness
3. high-voltage spark testing
This helps ensure that delivered products meet required standards and specifications.
Custom non-standard equipment design and manufacturing
Custom design and manufacturing support is available for non-standard products. Based on different process requirements, tailored solutions can be developed for special equipment structures and agitator selection supported by CFD fluid dynamics simulation.
Strong R&D capability
We have strong research and development capacity and currently hold more than 40 national patents covering equipment tooling, products, and manufacturing processes.
