According to statistics, forty major safety accidents related to chemical reaction kettles are counted on average every year in China. In addition, the addition of the raw materials for one time is large, so that the reaction is difficult to accurately control, and the product quality is influenced. Therefore, an efficient and safe special mixing device is urgently needed to replace the traditional kettle type mixing reaction device.
