Cosmetic manufacturers face significant challenges in producing high-quality creams, lotions, and gels:
Emulsion Stability: Creating stable oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions that don't separate over time
Particle Size: Achieving ultra-fine particles for smooth texture
Bubble Elimination: Removing air bubbles that would affect appearance and stability
Consistency: Producing uniform quality batch after batch
Temperature Control: Processing heat-sensitive ingredients at optimal temperatures
GMP Compliance: Meeting hygiene and quality standards for cosmetic production
Scale-Up: Transitioning from laboratory to production without compromising quality
The 30L bottom homogenizer vacuum emulsifying mixer is engineered to solve these challenges, providing a comprehensive solution for small-to-medium cosmetic manufacturers.
The 30L system integrates multiple functions in a single, 3-in-1 configuration :
| System Component | Function |
|---|---|
| Main Emulsifying Pot | Primary mixing and emulsification vessel |
| Oil Phase Tank | Prepares and heats oil-soluble ingredients |
| Water Phase Tank | Prepares and heats water-soluble ingredients |
| Bottom Homogenizer | High-shear particle size reduction (3000 RPM) |
| Scraper Mixing System | Wall-scraping, no-dead-zone mixing (10-120 RPM) |
| Vacuum System | -0.09 MPa bubble elimination |
| Heating/Cooling System | Temperature control for processing |
| PLC Control | Touch screen with recipe storage |
Phase Preparation: Oil-soluble and water-soluble ingredients are separately weighed and loaded into their respective tanks .
Heating: Each phase is heated to the optimal temperature using electric or steam heating with automatic control .
Vacuum Transfer: Under vacuum pressure, both phases are drawn directly into the main emulsifying pot .
Emulsification: The scraper mixer provides bulk mixing while the bottom homogenizer operates at 3000 RPM, creating intense shear that breaks particles down to 6nm-2um .
Vacuum Deaeration: The -0.09 MPa vacuum immediately removes air bubbles .
Cooling: After emulsification, cooling water is circulated through the jacket .
Quality Check: The finished product is sampled for quality control.
Discharge: The final emulsion is discharged via bottom valve or by tilting the pot .
Filling: The product is packaged into containers using filling equipment.
Challenge: Face creams require ultra-smooth texture, bubble-free appearance, and stable emulsion.
Solution: The bottom homogenizer at 3000 RPM achieves particles down to 6nm-2um, producing creamy texture. The vacuum system removes all bubbles, creating professional appearance. The 3-in-1 system ensures proper phase preparation .
| Parameter | Setting |
|---|---|
| Scraper speed | 30-60 RPM |
| Homogenizer speed | 3000 RPM |
| Vacuum level | -0.09 MPa |
| Temperature | 70-80°C (heating), 30-40°C (cooling) |
| Cycle time | 60-90 minutes |
Challenge: Ointments require precise formulation, consistent quality, and GMP compliance.
Solution: The sanitary stainless steel construction meets GMP standards. The precise control system ensures batch-to-batch consistency. The bottom homogenizer handles high-viscosity materials effectively .
| Parameter | Setting |
|---|---|
| Scraper speed | 20-40 RPM |
| Homogenizer speed | 3000 RPM |
| Vacuum level | -0.09 MPa |
| Temperature | 60-80°C (as required) |
| Cycle time | 60-120 minutes |
Challenge: Sauces require smooth texture, emulsion stability, and food-grade equipment.
Solution: SUS304 stainless steel meets food safety standards. The emulsifying process creates stable emulsions that don't separate .
| Parameter | Setting |
|---|---|
| Scraper speed | 20-50 RPM |
| Homogenizer speed | 3000 RPM |
| Vacuum level | -0.09 MPa |
| Temperature | 60-90°C (heating) |
| Cycle time | 45-90 minutes |
