Frequently asked questions
What is a jacketed vessel?
A jacketed vessel has a second wall around the tank. Steam, hot water or a cooling liquid flows in the space between the two walls to heat or cool the product while it is mixed, without touching it.
What is a paste kettle used for?
In tablet production a paste kettle prepares the binder paste, for example starch paste, that is added to the powders during wet granulation. It is a heated, jacketed kettle with a stirrer and a tilting or bottom outlet.
What is the difference between a tank and a vessel?
The words are often used for the same thing. In process plants a vessel usually means a closed container that works under pressure or vacuum, with heating, cooling or mixing; a tank usually stores liquids at atmospheric pressure.
