Technical Breakthrough in High-End Reactors Boosts CO₂-to-Plastics Project
Recently, Weihai Chemical Machinery Co., Ltd. has completed and delivered a batch of innovative magnetic drive reactors capable of ultra-high torque operation under extreme temperature and pressure conditions. Developed over two years in collaboration with leading technical partners, these reactors feature a record-breaking torque output of 59,000 N·m - nearly triple the previous industry maximum.
The equipment will serve as the core processing units for a groundbreaking CO₂-to-biodegradable plastics project. This engineering achievement represents a significant advance in high-performance chemical manufacturing technology while supporting global efforts to reduce carbon emissions through industrial innovation.
Overcoming Technical Barriers to Build Core National Equipment
The CO₂-to-biodegradable plastics process imposes extreme demands on reaction equipment: long-term, leak-free operation under high temperature, pressure, torque, and intense mass/heat transfer conditions-requirements beyond the capabilities of traditional mechanical seals.
Through two years of coordinated R&D with industry partners, Weihai Chemical Machinery resolved critical international challenges including high-torque magnetic drive design, specialized material application in extreme environments, and high-efficiency mixing systems. The resulting reactor achieves a world-leading torque output of 59,000 N·m, enabling efficient mixing of high-viscosity materials and ensuring high-quality production in complex chemical processes.
Green Engine Powers Carbon-Neutral Future
The equipment supports practical CO₂ utilization initiatives with demonstrated benefits:
- Direct emission reduction by using CO₂ as raw material;
- Source-level plastic waste reduction through biodegradable product output;
- Improved energy efficiency via reliable and continuous operation.
This advancement reflects China's growing capabilities in high-end chemical equipment manufacturing and provides tangible solutions for high-emission industries seeking green transformation. Weihai Chemical Machinery will continue to advance green technology innovation in support of low-carbon chemical industry development.
