A high shear emulsifying machine can disperse a single-phase material or component such as liquid or solid into the main continuous phase (liquid). The homogenizer combining the rotor and stator can be installed in an emulsification tank containing the solution to be mixed. It rises and falls together with the pot cover, or is installed at the bottom of the emulsification tank and connected to the pipeline, and the solution passes through to generate cyclic shear. The YeKeey high shear emulsifying machine is designed with different working heads that can adapt to different working conditions.
High shear homogeneous emulsifiers are widely used in industries such as cosmetics, food, beverages, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, paint, and ink. Today, let’s learn how to use YeKeey high shear emulsifying machine to produce cosmetics face cream, and lotion.
Most cosmetic cream formulations are lotion, defined as heterogeneous systems in which immiscible liquids are dispersed in the form of droplets in another liquid. In addition, most beauty creams are oil in water type with oil phase or water in oil lotion. Therefore, the manufacturing process focuses on two of the most difficult mixing tasks, which are the hydration of thickener and suspending agent and the preparation of stable lotion.
There are many problems encountered during the manufacturing process using traditional cosmetics production equipment
- The hydration of thickeners and suspensions is the most difficult of all mixing operations. Agglomeration is easy to form, and some components require shearing to achieve their desired performance;
- When adding powdered ingredients to the mixing tank, some hydrated materials will accumulate on the container wall and certain parts of the mixer;
- Even if the oil phase and water phase are heated, the agitator is not easy to form a stable lotion;
- Obtaining products with good homogenization results usually requires a longer process time and additional equipment;
The solution to the above problem is to use the YeKeey high shear emulsifying machine
- Put the aqueous phase raw materials into the emulsification tank. Start the YeKeeyhigh shear homogeneous emulsifier and add solid or powder components. The strong suction generated by the high-speed rotation of the rotor blades sucks liquid and solid components into the working head, where they quickly mix.
- Once the powder components are completely dispersed in the “continuous” liquid phase, the “dispersed” phase can be added to form the cream lotion. High shear emulsification of the rotor-stator working head ensures uniform and stable lotion.
- Solid decomposition in precision machined rotor-stator working heads. Micro powdered powder and other components are completely dispersed into the liquid before being extruded through the stator and circulated into the mixed object. At the same time, the new material is sucked into the working head. This cycle repeatedly achieves sufficient dispersion and homogenization effect.
The advantages of YeKeey high shear dispersion homogeneous emulsifying machine
- Consistent product quality and repeatability.
- No agglomeration mixing.
- Stable lotion
- Quickly reduce mixing time.
- Maximize the production of raw materials because the thickener is fully hydrated and other components are fully dispersed.
