Description
Industrial FRP Vacuum Receiver Vessel Manufacturer in Gujarat
Nikunj Fibre Glass is a recognized manufacturer and supplier of FRP Vacuum Receivers (Fiberglass Vacuum Vessels) based in Vapi, Gujarat. Specifically engineered to operate under continuous negative pressure (full vacuum up to 760 mm Hg) while exposed to boiling solvents, aggressive chemical distillates, and corrosive acids, our vacuum receivers offer unmatched durability and safety.
Designed and fabricated in compliance with BS 4994 and ASME Section X, each vessel features heavily reinforced dished ends and external vacuum stiffener rings that prevent vessel buckling or implosion under full vacuum conditions.
Key Features & Advantages
- Full Vacuum Certified: Designed for continuous duty at full internal vacuum (-1.0 bar / 760 mm Hg).
- Superior Chemical Inertness: Resistant to concentrated organic solvents, hydrochloric acid, chlorinated reagents, and mixed acids.
- Integrated Sight Glass & Level Gauges: Flanged Borosilicate sight glasses and magnetic level indicators for monitoring process levels.
- Heavy-Duty Structural Support: Mounted on robust FRP-encased structural steel or tubular pipe support legs with base plates.
- Zero Sparking & Non-Magnetic: Intrinsically safe for hazardous pharmaceutical and chemical production areas.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: How do you prevent vessel collapse under full vacuum?
We engineer external structural stiffener rings laminated directly into the cylindrical shell and use deep ellipsoidal dished heads calculated per BS 4994 vacuum buckling formulas.
Q2: Can the vessel be supplied with cooling or heating jackets?
Yes, Nikunj Fibre Glass fabricates FRP vacuum receivers with external half-pipe or full FRP jackets for chilled water or steam circulation.
