Custom Chemical Reaction Tanks
Roben, Mfg, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of custom chemical reaction tanks, providing engineered containment and processing solutions tailored to meet the complex demands of chemical, pharmaceutical, and industrial reaction systems.
Our chemical reaction tanks are built to handle corrosive media, extreme temperatures, and pressure variations while enabling precise process control, material compatibility, and safety for continuous or batch chemical production.
What is a Custom Chemical Reaction Tank?
A custom chemical reaction tank is a purpose-built vessel designed to facilitate controlled chemical reactions, blending, or synthesis under specific thermal, pressure, and agitation conditions. These tanks can be configured for batch or continuous reactions and include features like heating/cooling jackets, agitation systems, pressure containment, and corrosion-resistant linings. They are essential in chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and material processing industries where precision, consistency, and safety are paramount.
Types of Custom Chemical Reaction Tanks
- Jacketed Reaction Tanks: Designed with integrated jackets for thermal control during exothermic or endothermic reactions.
- Pressure Rated Reactors: Built to ASME code for reactions under elevated pressure conditions.
- Atmospheric Reaction Tanks: Used for ambient-pressure processes including blending and low-risk chemical synthesis.
- Glass-Lined Reaction Tanks: Feature a chemically inert glass lining for handling corrosive or reactive substances.
- Stainless Steel Reaction Vessels: Offer durability and cleanliness for pharmaceutical and food-grade applications.
- Dual-Laminate Reactors: Combine thermoplastic corrosion protection with FRP structural integrity for aggressive chemicals.
- Mobile and Skid-Mounted Reactors: Designed for flexible use in pilot plants or multi-purpose production facilities.

Custom Chemical Reaction Tanks Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How do I choose the right material for a chemical reaction tank?
Material selection depends on the chemical compatibility, pressure and temperature conditions, and cleaning requirements. Roben, Mfg, Inc. provides material compatibility analysis to ensure safe and durable operation under all process conditions.
2. Can the tank be used for both pressure and vacuum applications?
Yes. We design tanks for both pressure and vacuum service when needed. All pressure-rated tanks are built to ASME Section VIII standards and tested for safety and integrity.
3. What mixing options are available for chemical reactors?
We offer multiple mixing solutions including low-speed agitators, high-shear mixers, anchor blades, and turbine agitators. Configurations can be customized for viscosity, reaction kinetics, and heat transfer needs.
4. Can these tanks be automated and integrated with control systems?
Absolutely. We provide full PLC integration, SCADA-ready systems, and instrumentation for automated temperature control, dosing, mixing speed, and reaction monitoring.
5. Are the tanks CIP/SIP compatible?
Yes. Roben, Mfg, Inc. offers CIP- and SIP-ready designs with spray balls, clean-out access ports, and smooth internal finishes to maintain sanitary conditions in pharmaceutical and food-grade environments.
