Different Types of Reactors and Applicable Impeller Structures
| Reactor type | Feature | Common propellant type | Suitable resins for production |
| Stainless steel jacket reactor | Uniform heat transfer, suitable for high-temperature and high-pressure operations | Paddle, anchor, frame | Epoxy resins, phenolic resins, alkyd resins |
| External coil reactor | Large heat transfer area, suitable for high-temperature polycondensation reactions | Anchor+frame combination | Unsaturated polyester resins, alkyd resins |
| Internal coil reactor | High internal heat exchange efficiency, more precise reaction temperature | Frame, ribbon | Acrylic resins, polyurethane resins |
| Vacuum reactor | Capable of dehydration, degassing and solvent removal | Ribbon, pusher | Waterborne resins, acrylic emulsions, PVA glue |

Analysis of Impeller Types and Mixing Characteristics
1. Anchor type
Structure: Rotates around the kettle wall, resembling a ship's anchor.
Characteristics: Suitable for medium to high viscosity materials; scrapes the kettle wall to prevent coking.
2. Frame type
Structure: Similar to a rectangular frame, with wide blades.
Characteristics: Uniform mixing, low shear; suitable for reaction systems with large viscosity variations.
3. Propeller type
Characteristics: High shear force, good flowability; suitable for low viscosity systems.
4. Ribbon type
Characteristics: Circulates material vertically, preventing stratification.

If the type of reactor and impller does not match the characteristics of the material, it will directly affect the reaction efficiency, product quality, and may even load to equipment damage or safety hazards.
