COSMETICS AND BODY CARE PRODUCTION

KB2SC00250DD

The Challenge

For a client manufacturing a wide range of cosmetics and body care products, we were requested to supply a 240-litre batch mixing station. The system must blend various types of powder and liquid ingredients, achieving an exceptionally high level of homogenisation.

Furthermore, because the facility handles numerous small-scale production runs for different clients, recipe changeovers are extremely frequent. This necessitates frequent drum sanitisation and washdowns to completely eliminate any cross-contamination from the previous batch.

While the mixer is operated completely manually for loading, mixing, and discharge processes, recipe management is fully automated and controlled via the mixer's PLC. The proposed solution had to be a comprehensive, turnkey package, delivered completely ready for immediate operation within their facility.
