Mixing technology for detergents, metal soaps and more
Even in tough economic times, detergents and household cleaners are still stable main sources of revenue. Manufacturers are working in a really competitive market. Market success comes from being innovative and having a good brand reputation. Market leaders have a lot of trust from consumers, which they always have to keep working for. In times of dwindling resources and polluted oceans, the demands on manufacturers are growing.
Among other factors, the efficiency of detergent production depends largely on the quality of the mixing and preparation processes.
- Only if the raw materials are homogeneous at the start of the process route can the detergent factory achieve its maximum production output.
- Shorter batch mixing processes with complete emptying increase product quality.
- For large quantities, amixon® continuous mixers offer many advantages.
- Regardless of the process, the more efficiently the mixing, the better the flow properties of the end products and the higher the performance of the packaging lines.
amixon®has been developing and manufacturing high-precision mixing systems for more than forty years. These are used, among other things, for the production of powder detergents and household cleaners. As mixers and synthesis reactors, they also play an important role in the production of metal soaps for oleochemistry.
amixon® mixers also contribute to environmental protection and the preservation of biodiversity: Natural microorganisms must be preserved in our waters. Detergent substances should break down in wastewater without leaving any residue. Micro-additives such as citrates, polyaspartic acid, surfactant-compatible alcohols, amino acids and sorbitan esters can help here. amixon® mixers ensure that such micro-additives are evenly distributed in the detergent.
Home care products at affordable prices
The quality of modern home care products is determined by the raw materials used, the mixing quality and the process control. Important parameters are the particle size and the defined dissolution of compressed products.
However, the production price remains the decisive factor, which depends largely on the plant throughput. Good flowability of the powders is crucial for this. With amixon® mixers, the flowability of bulk materials can be adjusted precisely and reproducibly.
- Filling machines operate dust-free and are more efficient
- The dies of the tablet presses are filled faster and more evenly.
With more than 30 test mixers and four synthesis reactors, amixon® has a unique technical centre.
When mixing powders, accompanying effects always occur. These include deagglomeration, dust binding, dust generation, particle deformation, wetting, drying or chemical reactions. While some of these effects are desirable, others must be specifically avoided.
amixon® process equipment offers a particularly wide range of process variants. They can be used to achieve amazing powder properties.
With test centres in Germany, the USA, India, Thailand, Korea and Japan, we are always there for you: Together, we will optimise your processing procedure.
All our mixing plants comply with GMP standards and meet EHEDG requirements.
Industrial mixers for cleaning product manufacturers
Mixing heat sensitive detergent formulations
The 3-in-1 vacuum dryer, powder mixer, and reactor AMT makes it possible to carry out multiple processing steps in a single piece of equipment.
The vessel is pressurized and airtight, capable of reducing the atmospheric pressure and thus the temperature at which liquids evaporate. Every product contact surface within the mixer is jacketed and can be cooled for mixing especially heat-sensitive detergent formulations.
Create uniform granules
The RMG pin mixer and continuous granulator is the ideal mixing machine for creating agglomerated detergents. Loose powders are granulated through tumble-growth techniques, accumulating into perfectly uniform granules.
Products agglomerated with the amixon® RMG pin mixer are easy to store, dose, and measure, offer improved solubility and bulk density. In addition, the detergent granules are uniform in shape and size, offering improved aesthetic characteristics.
Deagglomerate, disperse, and coat
The dual shaft vertical mixer HM is a versatile powder mixer for handling detergent powders at a number of processing junctures.
Chemical formulations that are prone to lumping can be intensively deagglomerated before their dispersal into bulk materials. Alternatively, viscous or liquid additives can be effectively dispersed into bulk powders during the mixing process via a built-in spray nozzle and high-shear cutting rotor.
