Ointment Manufacturing Plants
Operation
The Ointment Manufacturing Plants are ideal tools for the pharmaceutical & cosmetic industries for the production of Ointment, Cream, Lotions, Tooth Paste & other emulsions & homogenizations.It is specially designed to take care of two critical factors which directly affect the quality of the Ointment / Creams.
- Minimum man handling of Ointment
- Negligible vacuum drop during mixing & blending
Needless to say, it also provides the benefits of the effective manpower utilization.
Application
- Pharmaceuticals: Creams, Gels, Sterile & Non Sterile Ointments and Biotech products.
- Cosmetics: Cold Creams, Hair Dye Cream, Conditioners, Lotions, Gels, Mascara make-up, Shampoo, Toothpaste.
Main Vessel
- Choice of various type of anchor design.
- Homogeniser (option) – Top Entry, side Entry, Bottom Entry with circulation facility.
- Hydraulic lid lifting for fast & easy cleaning of top dish & vessel.
- Load Cell for fast & accurate measuring system.
- Flexible product transfer pipe & fitting in case of load cell & hydraulic lifting.
- VFD for Anchor agitators to vary the RPM.
- VFD for Homogeniser to vary RPM.
- Specially Design drive assembly.
Wax vessel
- Open top with top Entry agitator Cowl disc type or paddle with Slow Speed Anchor.
- Close top with top/bottom entry agitator Cowl disc type or propeller type stirrer.
Water Vessel
- Open top with top entry propeller stirrer
- Close top with bottom or top entry propeller
Common Feature
- The main function are mixing and emulsifying. This in the broader sense means producing very fine emulsions, suspensions, etc featuring excellent homogeneity and thus finally stability of the mixed product.
- Jacket have heating & cooling with temperature control with Safety equipment.
- Electro polished Pipeline and joints are TC standard for easy opening & re-fixing.
- Vacuum system to transfer product from one vessel to another vessel and zero retention in pre phase vessel & inter connecting pipeline.
- No Air contamination. / Human contamination.
- Cleaning In Place cycles with validation protocols. (Optional)
Control System
- Manual Control – Have temperature indicator /Timer / Single Phase protection /Push Button to operate the complete plant.
- Auto Control – PLC based with touch screen and pass word level to feed the parameters of process for Heating / Cooling / Stirrer timing/Homogeniser Timing / Stirrer speed / Homogeniser speed / Vacuum / Pressure / CIP etc.
- This choice of package to suit requirement to each product.
- Pre stored process parameter will help to achieve consistent product quality.
- MMI (Touch Screen) for visualization of machines of specific process condition and data
- PLC Indicates:
- Visualization of Machine process condition & data.
- Alarm Signal
- Fault Message
- SCADA package (optional)
Design Base
