Reactors carry more moving parts and tighter integration demands than most pressure equipment on this page, between the vessel shell, the jacket or coil for temperature control, and the agitator drive and shaft assembly, everything has to work together without compromising the pressure boundary. We handle the complete mechanical build: shell and head fabrication, jacket or limpet coil attachment, agitator nozzle and shaft seal arrangement, baffle installation, and all supporting structural work.
Each reactor is built around the mechanical parameters you specify, vessel volume, design pressure and temperature, agitator type and drive rating, and jacket duty, and fabricated to hold those parameters safely over the vessel's service life. We work closely on shaft seal selection (mechanical seal, gland packing, or magnetic drive) and agitator mounting to make sure the finished vessel runs smoothly under load. We manufacture both GMP and non-GMP reactors depending on your industry and compliance needs, with GMP units built to the surface finish, documentation, and validation standards required for pharmaceutical and biotech applications.
Questions buyers ask first.
What sizes can R&D Therm fabricate?
We can fabricate equipment up to 4.5 m in shell diameter, 33 m in overall length and 42 MT single-piece weight.
Which codes and certifications do you build to?
We are ASME U-Stamp certified for pressure vessels, IBR-approved for boilers and steam pressure parts, and routinely build to PED (CE marked) for European exports.
Do you handle exotic-alloy fabrication?
Yes — titanium, Hastelloy C-22 / C-276, duplex and super-duplex stainless steels, Sanicro 28 and 904L are routine work for our welding division.
What is your typical delivery timeline?
Standard pressure vessels and heat exchangers typically ship in 12–16 weeks. Larger columns, reactors and skids ship in 16–22 weeks.
Do you provide third-party inspection support?
Yes — we work routinely with Lloyd's Register, BV, TUV, DNV, SGS and customer-nominated inspection agencies.
What does R&D Therm do?
R&D Therm designs and manufactures process equipment including pressure vessels, heat exchangers, reactors, columns and process skids for industries such as chemical, pharma, oil & gas, etc.
