Swenson Walker Crystallizer

Swenson Walker Crystallizer Manufacturer

The Swenson Walker Crystallizer is a continuous cooling crystallizer used in chemical-engineering laboratories to study crystallization and determine crystal yield and efficiency. The setup consists of a top-open jacketed round-bottom trough with a ribbon mixer that rotates at low rpm to agitate the saturated solution. A hot saturated solution, prepared in a tank fitted with a heater and stirrer, enters one end of the crystallizer and flows toward the opposite end while cooling, then returns to the feed tank for continuous operation. Crystals settle at the bottom of the trough and are removed at the end of the run. Cooling-water circulation and flow measurement are provided via a storage tank, pump, and rotameter, along with temperature-measurement instrumentation.
