Background/Requirement
Creams and lotions are used in a wide variety of applications
in the Personal Care, Cosmetic and Pharmaceutical industries.
Many of these products are either an oil-in-water or water-in-oil
emulsion consisting of a combination of emulsifying and thickening
agents, emollients, perfume, color and preservatives. The
in-line Z Emulsifier can easily produce a more consistent,
superior quality emulsion in less time than conventional in-tank
high-shear mixers
Improve
Product Quality

| |
Higher capacity than in-tank mixers,colloid mills
and low pressure piston homogenizers |
| |
Reduced energy requirements |
| |
Reduces batch times by 80% |
Sanitary Design
| |
Sanitary design with quick connect clamps for easy
inspection and cleaning |

Creams & Lotions
The Quadro Ytron in-line Z Emulsifier is designed
for versatility. It provides its users with new and more
efficient approaches to traditional processing techniques.
The Z Emulsifier can be used in either batch or continuous
processing mode to produce stable emulsions of creams
and lotions. When set up for single-pass operation, the
Z Emulsifier offers unparalleled consistency and repeatability
in process results.
Typical Applications
| |
Replace shear pumps and colloid mills with improved
results (15 - 25% higher viscosity for emulsions), higher
through puts using less power |
| |
Replace inefficient, in-tank high shear homo mixers
-reduces batch times and improves product quality |
| |
Replace low pressure piston homogenizers by providing
higherthroughputs with less energy per volume processed |
|
|
Quadro's Approach
| 1 |
Product enters housing axially. |
| 2 |
One or more liquid phases and suspended
particles arepumped through 1,2 or 3 sets of toothed
rotors/stators. |
| 3 |
Controlled,high-intensity shear is
delivered equally to all fluid elements,regardless of
product characteristics. |
| 4 |
Shear rate is constant,dependent only
on rotor/stator toothselection and rotor tip speed. |
