Industrial blenders are the perfect machine for various cosmetics and personal care products. They have many benefits to help your production process be more efficient, save money, and produce quality results.
These powerful mixing machines can break down, wet out, and disperse solids to ensure you get the right mix for each of your product batches. An industrial mixer can help avoid issues like agglomerates and other ordinary manufacturing wastes.
Superior Mixing Efficiency
Using industrial blenders to manufacture powder-based cosmetics and personal care products offers superior mixing efficiency. This is because the vessel wall is rotated precisely, allowing the material bed to fall away and evenly distribute its surface area over itself.
Traditional turbine mixers and paddle agitators often need help to mix challenging powders, especially when they form lumps or agglomerates. These lumps impede powder dispersion, lead to incomplete powder dissolution, and slow wet-out.
The hygienic mixing of powders in industrial blenders allows for a much faster and more thorough powder dispersion process, which reduces manufacturing waste. The use of sanitary mixing equipment also helps ensure product quality and consistency, which is an essential factor in the success of today’s cosmetics industry.
For this reason, a deep understanding of powder types, sizes, and interactions is critical for manufacturers looking to achieve superior hydrophobic coatings and other material properties. Working with a specialized contract manufacturer can help you to optimize the blending process and create high-performance powder-based products ranging from lip balm to sunblock.
Reduced Manufacturing Waste
Manufacturing processes can create an incredible amount of waste – from unused raw materials to scrap pieces. This can have a negative impact on the environment and cost companies money.
However, you can significantly reduce your waste production with the right strategies.
Reducing manufacturing waste is essential because it can help save money, protect the environment, and increase efficiency. This can be done by reducing, reusing, and recycling the materials you generate throughout production.
One of the best ways to reduce waste is to look at your manufacturing process, from inbound material to shipping out of your product. This can lead you to discover new ways to use raw materials more efficiently and find alternative uses.
Dispersed Solids
Industrial blenders are used in the cosmetics and personal care industries to mix and emulsify ingredients. These machines are designed to withstand rigid materials and provide superior control and accuracy.
One of the main benefits of using an industrial blender is that it can combine ingredients in upscaled proportions. This allows producers to create the exact mixture without wasting time or money.
Solids are the most common state of matter and include the most matter on Earth. Examples include hard rocks, soft matter like fur, and liquids such as water.
The atomic structure of solids determines many properties, including their melting points and conductivity. Other characteristics include density, incompressibility, and low rate of diffusion.
Stable Emulsion
Emulsions are often used to formulate a wide range of products, including food and feed ingredients, cosmetics, and personal care products. They are also helpful in pharmaceutical applications to improve the distribution of active ingredients, increase patient compliance and improve aesthetics, among other reasons.
One of the main challenges associated with emulsion production is to ensure that a stable emulsion is produced. Stability is mainly dependent on particle size and droplet size distribution.
The droplet size distribution of an emulsion is significantly affected by several factors, including the energy input during mixing (mixing speed and time of mixing), type of mixer, oil composition, oil-water ratio, and the presence of surfactants or surface-active agents.
As a result, the stability of emulsions can be destabilized over lengthy periods by mechanisms such as coalescence and Ostwald ripening, where larger droplets expand at the expense of smaller ones. These destabilization reactions can be significantly reduced by introducing emulsifiers, stabilizers, weighting agents, ripening inhibitors, and texture modifiers (thickeners and gelling agents) into an emulsion system.
