Buy Used Batch-Type Agitated Reactors for Sale

Buying used batch-type body-only reactors through International Process Plants gives pharmaceutical, chemical processing, biotech, food and beverage, and cosmetics manufacturers access to bare jacketed pressure vessels delivered without an agitator drive, shaft, or impeller assembly from Pfaudler, DeDietrich, UGE, EHW Thale, and additional OEM manufacturers. ▶

Capacities span 15 L (4 gallons) shop-test bodies and 37.9 L (10 gallons) pilot vessels up to a 30,300 L (8,000 gallons) DeDietrich SA shell. Internal pressure ratings extend from 0.14 bar (2 psi) atmospheric service through 20.7 bar (300 psi) on a DeDietrich CTJ glass-lined vessel. Internal temperature envelopes reach 260 degrees C (500 degrees F) on the largest glass-lined Pfaudler and DeDietrich shells. Internal full vacuum capability is available across the inventory. Support configurations are split between leg-mounted and lug-mounted skirts depending on installation footprint.

Pfaudler bodies are stocked across the RA, RS, P, E, ELL, KC, and KA series. DeDietrich bodies span the SA, CTJ, CE, STU, and CSA series. Universal Glasteel Equipment (UGE) supplies factory-new bodies across the UA-300, UA-500, UA-1000, UA-2000, and UA-4000 ranges plus the Base UT-30, UT-50, UT-100, and UT-200 base series. Condition grades on offer cover re-glassed, good used, factory-new, needs-reglass, and unused-surplus stock. Jacket configurations include standard heat-transfer jackets and half-pipe (limpet) coil jackets. All vessels are offered as ASME-coded, National Board, CRN, CE-marked, or PED compliant where the original code stamp permits. Buying used batch-type body-only reactors from IPP can save up to 50% of capital and 90% of lead time versus buying new. ▲

How Buying a Used Reactor Body Works

The process of purchasing a used reactor body from IPP follows five steps, from specification to delivery.

1

Submit Requirements

Share your reactor body specifications: capacity, pressure rating, temperature, dimensions, and whether you need a replacement body for an existing system or a vessel for a new agitator.

2

Receive Data Package

IPP sends a detailed equipment data sheet with capacity, pressure rating, temperature, dimensions, nozzle schedule, glass condition report, and photographs of the vessel.

3

Verify Compatibility

The IPP team helps verify that the body dimensions, nozzle layout, and mounting configuration are compatible with your existing agitation system or planned installation.

4

Re-Glassing Options

IPP offers re-glassing through its UGE division (700+ vessels, 2,700+ parts in stock). Used or needs-reglass vessels can be fully restored before shipment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Purchasing Reactor Bodies

Answers to the most common questions from procurement and operations teams evaluating used batch type body only reactor vessels.

How many body only reactor vessels does IPP have in stock?

IPP stocks batch type body only reactor vessels. The largest manufacturer positions are Pfaudler, DeDietrich, and UGE. Volume capacity ranges from 15 L (4 gal) to 30,300 L (8,000 gal). Browse the IMS inventory for current availability.

What is a body only reactor?

A body only reactor is a reactor vessel shell sold without an agitation system. The vessel includes the reactor body, jacket, nozzles, manway, and support structure, but does not include an agitator, drive assembly, motor, or mechanical seal. Buyers typically purchase body only vessels as replacement shells for existing reactors, or to install their own agitation system.

How much can I save purchasing a used reactor body versus new?

Purchasing used batch type body only reactors from IPP can save up to 50% of capital and 90% of lead time versus buying new. The exact savings depend on manufacturer, capacity, and condition. IPP provides detailed quotes with full specification matching on request. Contact IPP for pricing on specific units from our current reactor body inventory.

What manufacturers of reactor bodies does IPP stock?

IPP stocks reactor bodies from 19 manufacturers. The largest inventory positions are Pfaudler, DeDietrich, UGE, EHW Thale, and Schwelm. Pfaudler, DeDietrich (France), and EHW Thale (Germany) represent major international glass-lined equipment manufacturers.

Does IPP sell new reactor bodies as well as used?

Yes. IPP stocks new glass-lined reactor bodies from its UGE (Universal Glasteel Equipment) subsidiary. UGE was founded in 1995 and provides glass-lined equipment through the IPP Group. IPP also stocks unused surplus reactor bodies — manufactured but never installed — offering new-equipment performance with immediate availability.

What condition grades are available for reactor bodies?

IPP stocks reactor bodies in five conditions: re-glassed, used, new from UGE, needs reglass, and unused surplus. Re-glassed reactor bodies have received new borosilicate glass linings through IPP's UGE division. Unused reactor bodies were manufactured but never installed in a process.

What does re-glassed mean for a reactor body?

A re-glassed reactor body has received a new borosilicate glass lining on the original OEM vessel shell. IPP offers re-glassing through its UGE (Universal Glasteel Equipment) division, founded in 1995, which stocks 700+ vessels and 2,700+ parts. Re-glassed bodies in IPP inventory show full fire polish (FF) and very clean (VC) glass condition ratings.

What glass condition grades does IPP report?

IPP reports glass condition grades on each reactor body listing. Grades include Very Clean (VC), Clean (C), Dirty (D) meaning light cleaning needed, and New for factory-new UGE vessels. Glass fire polish grades include Full Fire Polish (FF), Some Fire Polish (F), and New. These condition ratings help buyers assess glass lining quality before purchasing.

What materials of construction are available?

IPP stocks body only reactor vessels primarily in glass-lined construction (166 of 172 units, or 96.5%). Additional units are available in stainless steel 316, stainless steel 316L (1 unit), stainless steel austenitic (1 unit), and Hastelloy (1 unit). Glass-lined construction provides corrosion resistance for pharmaceutical, chemical, and specialty manufacturing processes.

Can you buy a reactor body and add your own agitation system?

Yes. Body only reactor vessels are sold without an agitation system. Each vessel listing includes a nozzle schedule that specifies the drive nozzle size and location for mounting an agitator. For example, IPP# 246494 (UGE UA-300) specifies a 4 3/8” agitator nozzle. Buyers can mount their own agitator, reuse an existing drive assembly, or source a new agitation system to fit the vessel nozzle configuration.

Are Pfaudler reactor bodies compatible with other manufacturers' agitators?

Pfaudler reactor bodies include drive nozzles with standardized dimensions listed in the nozzle schedule. Compatibility with other manufacturers' agitators depends on matching the drive nozzle diameter, flange pattern, and vessel geometry. The IPP team can help verify compatibility for specific body and agitator combinations. Contact IPP with your existing agitator specifications for a compatibility assessment.

Can IPP supply both a reactor body and a separate agitation system?

IPP's Gale Process Solutions (GPS) subsidiary provides custom fabricated equipment. Contact IPP to discuss sourcing a matched reactor body and agitation system together.

What nozzle configurations are available on body only vessels?

Each reactor body listing in IPP inventory includes a detailed nozzle schedule specifying the number, size, and location of all vessel openings. Typical nozzle schedules include manway openings (12” to 18”), process nozzles (2” to 10”), drive nozzles (4 3/8”), and bottom outlet nozzles. Contact IPP with your required nozzle configuration for specific recommendations.

What support types are available for reactor bodies?

IPP stocks reactor bodies with three support types: legs, lugs, and ring supports. The support type determines how the vessel is mounted in your plant. Leg-supported vessels stand on the floor, while lug-supported vessels are mounted from above on structural steel. Contact IPP to find reactor bodies matching your plant's mounting configuration.

Looking for Complete Agitated Reactors?

IPP also stocks batch-type agitated reactors — complete reactor systems with agitation, drive assembly, motor, and mechanical seal included. IPP offers used and glass-lined process equipment through UGE, and new stainless steel and alloy equipment through GPS, available as both stocked and custom-fabricated solutions.
