Lee's Uniflow pressure jacket consists of a continuous coil which is automatically formed and welded to the vessel surface creating an exceptionally strong, distortion-free metal bond. Isolated hot or cold spots are eliminated with Lee's Uniflow coil jacket. This is due to its unique coil pattern which provides uniform thermal flow. Optional spiral jacket baffles are available to provide directional flow of liquid heating or cooling medium on hemispheres.
Style CD
Super Jacket Trunnion Mounted With Manual Tilt
This CD style has a jacket as described but is trunnion-mounted and has a pouring lip for tilt-pouring. An outlet or valve may be added to the bottom for drainage or emptying. The positive latching meets Federal safety standards.

Optional And Accessory Equipment
 Instrumentation
A wide variety of temperature sensing control and recording instruments is available. Probe type sensors can be used in open kettles; but where scraper blade agitators are installed, it is recommended that a stainless steel flush mounted sensor be used. With today's processing techniques becoming ever more critical, temperature sensing or control instruments are desirable for heat transfer vessels.
Agitators
 Lee heavy-duty agitation systems are designed to mix all types of products, thoroughly and efficiently. Standard styles, including single-motion, double-motion, triple-motion high-shear mixers, horizontal blenders and prop-type mixers are engineered for maximum performance and reliability in all Lee vessels. Agitator options include stationary, portable, tilting, vacuum/pressure installation and an inclined design which provides a combination of blending and folding along with thorough mixing for even high viscosity products! |
This exclusive Lee ball valve with sanitary features is a flush type design which assures complete product processing and discharge. CIP features and heating/cooling jackets are offered for special applications. Various actuator options and controls are also available for automation. Both flush-type and in-line ball valves are USDA and 3A approved. Contact Lee Fluid Transfer Division for additional information.
