Cream Pilot Plants
- Main Mixer Options: semi Contra Rotary/ Contra Rotary/ Planetary/ Anchor Type Mixers
- Batch Size Range: 5/10/25/50 kgs/batch
Optional Configuration
- Stand alone Pilot mixer with control panel
- Skid Mounted Mixer with oil phase & water phase
- Main Mixer with one phase kettle
- With or without homogenizer
- Skid mounted plant with pilot size utilities
Stand alone Pilot mixer with control panel
- The Stand alone Pilot mixer comprise of only the main mixer with inbuilt control panels and Heating systems.
- The main mixer is made of the option between semi contra/ Contra Rotary/ Planetary/ Anchor type mixing vessel with vacuum facility and jacketed for heating/ cooling requirements.
- The agitator selection is designed suitably to mix product of higher viscosity effectively.
- Product contact points are made of SS 316L
- The blades keep the material effectively dispersed by adequate turbulence.
- The hinged scraper in the main mixer keep the product in constant movement and ensure clean side walls for effective heat transfer between the side jacket and product.
- The main mixer consists of cylindrical shell with flanged top & welded bottom dish made of SS316.
- Mixer is ergonomically mounted on operational table top to view the product during mixing and product additions
- Jacket is insulated with 30 mm thick mineral wool insulation (Asbestor free) and shall be cladded with 2mm SS304.
- The top dish is provided with the following nozzles
- SMS sight glass
- Light glass with focus light
- Oil phase & water phase inlet
- Vacuum nozzle with safety valve/ vacuum gauge and vent
- The top Dish is locked through an airtight nut locking system for comfortable opening and closing of the dish.
- The bottom dish shall be provided with the following nozzles
- Butterfly valve for discharge, recirculation
- Temperature sensor.
The Agitation Assembly
- Agitation assembly is driven by suitable geared motor with speed range of 0-60 RPM continuously variable through AC Frequency Controller
- Shaft of the agitator is packed with mechanical seal and necessary housing.
- Mechanized screw rod system to lift top dish for easy sanitization, cleaning and material discharges.
- The primary advantage of the agitator design is that there is no bottom support for the agitation with PTFE bush, resulting in faster & much more effective cleaning cycles than a conventional agitation system.
- Vessel is provided with bottom entry 1440 RPM High Speed Emulsifier system through mechanical seal with TC/TC seal face.
- Inline recirculation line with the manufacturing vessel through high speed emulsifier ensures through mixing of product.
- Valves are placed suitably to discharge the material after completion of batch.
Skid Mounted Pilot Plant
- The Skid mounted full cream pilot plant comprises of the entire set of main mixing vessel supported by phase kettles, heating system, vacuum pump, Electrical heating system.
- The main mixer is supported with phase vessel for water phase or oil phase preparation as per the customer choice
- Material from the phase vessel will be transferred to the main mixer by vacuum.
- The Control panel indicates the following
- Temperatures of jacket and product
- Speed of the main mixer stirrer and homogenizer
- Options of changing the stirrers between semi contra, contra, anchor, paddle, schowl's propeller etc. are provided depending upon customer preference
- Thus the plant is made versatile to formulate wide range of product like ream, tooth paste, ointments, gel, shampoo, shaving cream, hair dye etc.
