CMC Production Line Main Equipments
| Equipment | Description |
| Mixing silo, conveyor | Store and transport refined cotton and other raw materials |
| Stainless steel reactor | Temperature control, strong stirring, often equipped with a jacket |
| High temperature reactor / sigma mixer | For high-viscosity systems, use sigma mixer for more complete reaction |
| Washing tank, centrifuge | Remove by-products and impurities |
| Vibrating fluidized bed, belt dryer | Continuous low-temperature drying to protect the CMC structure |
| Pulverizer + cyclone classifier | Adjust particle size and uniformity |
| Automatic metering packaging machine | Both bag and ton bag packaging are available |
1. Alkalization reaction
Alkalize cellulose in alkali solution to make it easier to react with etherifying agents.
2. Etherification reaction
Under certain temperature and stirring conditions, cellulose reacts with chloroacetic acid to produce CMC.
3. Neutralization washing
Adjust pH to neutral with acid and wash with water to remove impurities (by-product salts adn unreacted raw materials).
4. Drying
Dehydrate CMC and dry it to powder state.
5. Crushing and screening
Make the product reach the target particle size.
