- Display: Digital indicators for real-time monitoring of process variables.
- Communication: Allows for remote control and monitoring.
- Operation: Single operator control for the entire plant.
Production Process Flow:
- Ingredient Loading: Raw materials such as surfactants, water, thickeners, conditioners, and fragrances are loaded into the ingredient mixing vessel. This can be done manually, via vacuum, or mechanical systems depending on plant design.
- Mixing & Pre-heating: The ingredients are mixed in the mixing vessel, where surfactants are blended with water and other ingredients. The mixture is then pre-heated to the desired temperature.
- Formulation & Emulsification: The pre-heated mixture is transferred to the manufacturing vessel, where it undergoes further emulsification. Homogenizers or emulsifying pumps ensure uniform mixing of all ingredients, including active agents and additives, to create a stable shampoo formulation.
- Storage: After emulsification, the finished product is stored in a storage vessel. The temperature is controlled to maintain the product’s stability, and the product is ready for filling.
- Filling & Packaging: The shampoo is transferred to the filling machine, which dispenses the liquid into bottles, jars, or other containers. The filling is done accurately with minimal waste, followed by capping and sealing. The filled and sealed containers are then labeled and packaged.
- Cleaning (CIP/SIP): After each batch, the plant utilizes CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilize-in-Place) systems for cleaning and sterilizing the plant components, ensuring a hygienic environment for the next batch.
Optional Features:
- Inline Homogenizers: For better emulsification and consistency of formulations.
- Customizable Stirring Mechanism: Top-entry or bottom-entry stirrers based on batch size.
