TOOTHPASTE/DENTAL WHITENING CREAM MANUFACTURING
 

Background/Requirement

•  Incorporation of Carbopol® and 40% Carbamide Peroxide into Glycerine.
•  Carbopol is difficult to disperse into Glycerine because the low pH Glycerine solution results in instant hydration and viscosity increase.
•  40% by weight Carbamide Peroxide is added to the Carbopol solution in a recirculation to the mixing vessel.
•  Need to increase production without expanding the facility.

Quadro's Approach

•  ZC1 in line disperser, skid mounted with a dual PD pump arrangement for performance with high viscosities and high solids addition rates and automated Q-Vac vacuum powder addition system.
•  Controls to allow (3) pre-set operating points on inlet and discharge pumps
•  Carbopol addition
•  Carbamide Peroxide addition
•  Auxiliary setting
•  Automated powder valve with level sensors in the hopper to control powder on/off addition.
