Quadro Ytron
 

COSMETIC LIQUID FOUNDATION MANUFACTURING

 

Background/Requirement

•  Incorporation of gums and polymers without agglomerates or “fisheyes”
•  Fine dispersing of pigments in re-circulation loop with kettle
•  Setting of final, high viscosity water/silicone emulsion with a single pass prior to packaging
•  Quick and easy cleaning
 

Quadro's Approach

•  ZC3 in line disperser, skid mounted with a dual PD pump arrangement for performance with high viscosities and high solids addition rates.
•  Automated powder-in-hopper detection and valve actuation.
•  Controls to allow (4) pre-set operating points.
•  Single pass solids incorporation, water feed.
•  Solids incorporation, re-circulation set-up with kettle.
•  Final emulsion setting from kettle
•  Operator PID backpressure control of discharge pump for additional flexibility in processing
