The invention discloses equipment and a method for producing d-alpha-tocopheryl acetate. The equipment comprises a reactor, a stirrer and a box structure, wherein the reactor is used for holding a reaction solution; the stirrer is arranged in the reactor; the box structure is arranged below the liquid level of the reaction solution in the reactor and used for filling zinc powder; and a plurality of through holes, the bore diameters of which are not greater than the smallest particle size of the zinc powder, are formed in the box structure. Through the design of the box structure, the zinc powder can be firstly added during the charging for reaction, and then acetic anhydride is added through a liquid feeding port in the reactor, so that the workers are prevented from contacting the acetic anhydride gas and the health of the workers is protected; moreover, through the box structure, one-time filling of the zinc powder is enough for the consumption of the zinc powder, so that the operation of adding the zinc powder every day is avoided and the complexity degree of the operation of the workers is decreased; furthermore, the bore diameter of the through holes formed in the box structure is not greater than the smallest particle size of the zinc powder, so that the zinc powder is prevented from entering the solution outside the box structure and the possibility that the zinc powder blocks the discharging port of the reactor is avoided.
