The document describes a saponator, which is an advanced reactor for producing grease. It lists many advantages of the saponator over previous contacting technologies like improved quality, lower costs, automation, and precise control of temperature, pH and concentration. The saponator uses high shear mixing to create a micro-fine emulsion and dispersion of soap in oil. It is available in various sizes from 0.2 metric tons to 6 metric tons capacity. Options include automated discharge, temperature control, and charging systems.

SAPONATOR DESIGNED WITH GUIDED VERTICAL PRECIPICE DROP WITH DEEP SUCTION VORTEX
ENABLES MAXIMUM SURFACE AREA FOR WATER LIBERATION
INTURN LEADS TO A RAPID PRESSURE BUILDUP, ACCELERATING CONVERSION OF THE ACID TO SOAP
WATER LIBERATION AIDS THE SPEED OF THE FORWARD REACTION ENABLING SHORT REACTION TIMES
SAPONATOR CAN BE CHARGED WITH PREHEATED OIL & ALSO PERMITS DUMPING UNDER HOT
CONDITIONS TO DRAMATICALLY REDUCE BATCH TIMES & INCREASE CAPACITY
MICRO FINE DISPERSION OF SOAP IN CUTBACK OIL GENERATES HUGE SURFACE AREA OF SOAP ENABLING
BONDING TO THE OIL DURING FINISHING PROCESS
CREATES HIGHER NLGI GREASE WITH LESS SOAP CONTENT

SAPONATOR CAN BLOW SOAP IN HOT CONDITION TO THE HEATED FINISHING KETTLE TO MAXIMISE
PRODUCTIVITY
IT CAN BLOW SOAP IN COLD CONDITION TO A COLD FINISHING KETTLE TO MINIMISE CONGEALMENT AND
AGGLOMERATION LUMPING IN FINISHING KETTLE & FINISHING NEED NOT BE HEATED & THEN COOLED BUT
CAN BE SET UP FOR COOLING ONLY
IT PERMITS MAXIMUM DEHYDRATION BY APPLICAION OF VACUUM
IT IS DESIGNED FOR BLOW DOWN PRESSURISATION WITH SELF GENERATED / EXTERNAL AIR PRESSURE
IT CAN BE DEAERATED BEFORE BLOWING TO THE FINISHING KETTLES
