Detergent Compaction Equipment

A dishwasher tablet is an essential detergent. It consists of a pressed mixture of sodium and potassium salts, surfactant, fragrance, and other filler agents, mixed with the help of tablet making machines. The products’ use in America and Europe is high, unlike in the Asian continent, where the price limits its usage. Its global market size will reach $990 million in 2026 from $475.6million in 2019, according to Grand View Research forecasts.

Laundry detergents are currently on the rise due to increasing urbanization and the need for automation. The global market will reach $98,139.7 million by 2030 from $61,711.0 in 2020, influencing the demand for laundry detergent equipment. Unlike in Western countries, powdered detergents are more popular in Asia and China because they’re cheaper.

Laundry detergent

Although invented in the early 20th century by Otto Rohm, detergents gained popularity in the 1950s due to the development of modern technology and washing machines which started replacing scrub boards. The liquid detergent manufacturing process involves three key stages: soap premix manufacture, ingredient mixing and enzyme addition.

Liquid detergents

Powder detergent is one of the most widespread washing solutions used in the laundry of fabrics. Since they contain no water, powder detergents are lighter than liquid detergent or pods, which results in cheaper transport and, thus, a more affordable choice for the end consumer. Although manufacturers can formulate their powder detergents differently, the detergent powder production process relies on a combination of builders, surfactants, and enzymes.

Powder detergent

The wave of liquid soaps and detergents in the 1950s revolutionized home and personal care. Cheap and convenient, these off-the-shelf products fit perfectly into the lifestyle of the time. A few decades later, though, plastic waste put the sustainability of hygiene products into question. Refill tablet production technology answers that by eliminating single-use plastic. Instead of picking up a new bottle every time, end-users complete the formulation process in a multi-use container and with a simple instruction: just add water.

Dyes lend color to the things we consume. The foods we eat, the clothes we wear, and even the keyrings that separate your bunch all have a splash of dye added. Historically, colors were extracted from the natural world, but that process has been replaced by processing technology. Dye manufacturing equipment produces colors that are high in definition and consistency.

Carbon blacks are fine pigment particles that consist mainly of carbon. Its production became popular in the second century with the establishment of paper production. Hydrocarbons such as oil and natural gas are the basic raw materials for manufacturing them. However, the properties of carbon black differ depending on the processes carried out with the use of carbon machinery and production technology.

Kaolin, also called china clay, is made from natural rock composed of aluminosilicate clay or kaolinite. Kaolin has wide applications in different industries. Moreover, their classification depends on their industrial use, which includes film formation, fiber extension, polymer extension and chemical composition. Choose a kaolin processing machine to help you make kaolin for beauty products, paper filler, coating, ceramics and even medicine.

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient, but the human species lost the ability to produce it biologically during the course of evolution. Instead, we source the substance either from whole foods or vitamin C manufacturing. The chemical characteristics of the natural nutrient and processed compound are the same, but supplements offer higher concentrations, especially to persons with nutrient deficiencies.

In aquafeed, you can find three types of pellets: floating pellets, sinking pellets, and slow-sinking pellets, because not all aquatic species eat at the same height of the water column. In the case of bottom feeders such as shrimp, river crab, sea bass, and some species of catfish, they eat sinking pellets. Contrary to tilapia and carp that feeds from the surface with floating pellets. Sinking pellets production must control water stability to preserve the quality and form of the pellets, avoiding nutrients' dissolution in the water.

Sinking pellets

There are two misconceptions about floating pellets. The first one is that they are made with a pellet mill, when the proper floating pellets-making machines are extruders. The second misconception is that floating feed is only used for fish. However, many other species consume feed on the water, such as crocodiles and birds.

Floating pellets

In the feed sector, it's common to talk about feed as balanced, compound, or concentrate. Many people use one of these terms to refer to any feed mill product. However, the processing of feed concentrates, only requires grinding and mixing. The further transformation into pellets adds is an added value for the market.

When it comes to aquafeed, you can find three types of pellets: floating pellets, sinking pellets, and slow-sinking pellets. Not all aquatic species eat at the same height of the water column. For example, tilapia and carp eat at the surface (floating pellets) while shrimp and sea bass eat at the bottom (sinking pellets). Slow-sinking pellets are ideal for species that eat along the water column such as salmon and cod.  To get the pellets to sink at the right rate, slow sinking pellets production must control water stability in the products.

The ubiquitous plastic shopping bag was first designed as a reusable carrier. Its inventor, Sten Gustaf Thulin, will have been appalled to see his creation turn into a single-use object. But this disposable tendency is common to all plastic materials, from screw taps to milk carton lining. With plastic recycling equipment, however, plastic waste can be reprocessed and given a second lease of life.

Although primarily used as food for animals, recent studies have found that dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) could reduce heart disease risk in humans. Dried distillers grains are a cereal byproduct of the distillation process  - a mix of corn, rice, and other grains dried to 10–12% moisture. DDGS production entails processes from cleaning the grains over cooking to fermentation and drying.

Continuous milling is a flow production method used to grind materials without interruption. It is often used in the production of foods, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and minerals. The material to be processed flows in at one end and the milled output flows out at the other in a continuous process. By choosing the right combination of milling technology and processing power you can obtain the desired particle size distribution in an uninterrupted stream.

Continuous milling solutions

A pellet mill is a type of mill used to make small, round, compressed, pellets from powdered materials. Selection of a suitable pellet mill requires consideration of the desired pellets size and shape, nature of the material to be processed, ease of cleaning, and the scale and mode of pellet production. In the animal feed and pet food industries, pellet presses are used to combine various nutritional ingredients into each pellet. In biomass combustion, a pellet mill is used to increase bulk density and provide a consistent, easy-to-handle input product made from raw materials such as sawdust.

Pellet Mills

Pelleting presses compact your feed granules into a homogenous mass by pushing the material through a pellet die hole while applying pressure with a roller. The compressed mix is then cut down to size in equal measurements. Used for numerous applications, pellets vary in consistency and may require further temperature control to achieve the required solidity. In order to improve pellet quality, conditioners are an important part of the pelleting press process. This step treats the powders and raw materials hydrothermally before being pressed in order to achieve high-quality pellets.

Aquaculture feed is used when rearing marine livestock such as fish, shellfish, and algae. Quality nutrition is needed for healthy growth and reproduction and feed usually consists of fats, carbohydrates, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Extruded aquaculture feed floats on the water surface and pressure-pelleted feed will sink to the bottom.

Ceramics are defined as inorganic and non-metallic materials. Tthey are typically brittle, hard, and elastic as well as resistant to heat and corrosion; in fact, after shaping them into the desired shape, they are heated in an oven called kiln at very high temperatures (1,000 °C to 1,600 °C). Kaolinite and aluminum oxide are the best-known examples of ceramics.

Ceramics

Due to their potential hazardous nature, chemicals are classified for proper identification and safety during production. Chemical classification depends on their properties, structures and functions. In the chemical industry, you can regard them as basic chemicals such as acids, chemical products to produce plastic materials and finished chemicals for use in cosmetology. As a manufacturer or engineer, you want to know their reactivity when using chemical processing equipment.

Detergents are cleaning agents that help remove dirt and grease from porous and non-porous surfaces. Industrial production of detergents began after World War I. Still, it was after the 1950s and 1960s that the detergent industry grew exponentially due in part to the development of new detergent manufacturing equipment.

We continuously talk to suppliers of feed processing technologies that have important know-how on how to create the smarter, better, and greener feed products we need to kickstart a better tomorrow. Are you into making animal feed or pet food and looking for ways to improve your production process? Let’s navigate the world of feed production technologies together!

Our food chain starts in the soil, growing crops and livestock. But between the fields and the stores, there is a line of industrial food processing equipment. Processes may be as minimalistic as cleaning fruit and as complex as homogenizing milk alternatives made from pressed legumes. In each case, processing technology is an important link in the food production chain.

The nearly 5,000 known minerals on earth share some characteristics to be classified as minerals – they are inorganic, solid, naturally occurring elements and have a particular chemical formula and an ordered internal geometric structure. However, minerals are not all the same. One way to divide them is based on their physical characteristics such as hardness, luster, color, and shape. For example, the diamonds we use to make jewelry are very hard minerals while talc is a soft mineral; gold is a shiny mineral while others are less so.

Minerals

Pigments are colorants that are not soluble in the host material and scatter light and are therefore opaque. Pigments can be organic or man-made and derive from animals, plants, rocks or minerals and metal oxides, like for example titanium oxide.

Can it be said that we live in the Plastic age? Basically, yes. From pillows over toothbrushes, and packaging to utensils, plastic is a widely used material in our day-to-day lives. But what is it? Plastics are synthetic or semi-synthetic materials built of polymers that are easily shaped into various structures with the help of plastic processing equipment such as extruders and molders.

Grinders use a spinning blade or rotating abrasive elements to reduce the size of various materials. The specifications, RPM and grit of the engineered grinder, will result in various particle sizes. As a result, what you want to make will determine the type of grinder you need. Grinding is used for improving the texture and flow properties of various products and to enhance the flavor of food products such as coffee, spices, sugar, nuts, sesame, poppy seeds, lentils, wheat, and rice. Choosing the right rotational speed, grinding elements, and processing power allow the grinding and shredding of a wide range of materials into coarse or fine powders. Popular types of heavy duty grinders in food processing include angle grinders, bench grinders and meat grinders.

Grinding

Pelleting equipment transforms powdered, mashed, or grounded material into a denser cylindrical shape. Pellet processing compresses the fine material against a perforated die, where it will be shaped and cut. Although granulating and extrusion also produce pellet-like products, manufacturing pellets is a distinct process.

Chemical tablet formulas allow granules to break away under the conditions you would have designed them for. Powder presses distribute particles from the stock material evenly onto molds and subject the it to pressure to produce a dense block. Powder tablets often include a precise mixture of products and presses combine the correct dosage to form multi-layered slabs ready for packaging.

Powder presses

A tablet press consists of two essential tools, namely dies and punches. It compresses powder or granules into a desired solid substance of uniform size and weight. After filling the dies with powder or granules, upper and lower punches are pressed together within the die hole to form tablets. Then the upper punches come back to their original position while the lower punches help the ejection of the tablet from the dies.

According to a legend, Cleopatra soaked her sails in her perfume so that Mark Antony could smell her ships before they arrived. This is to say that, from soaps and shampoos to perfumes, conditioners and pomades, cosmetics have always been highly valued and used for their properties of aesthetic enhancement. Cosmetics are a broad class of topical agents applied for various purposes such as cleansing, protecting, beautifying, or otherwise altering your appearance. As a result, a wide array of processing equipment is used in the cosmetics industry.

Pharmaceutical powders provide longer shelf life and better stability than liquid dosage forms. But the processing of pharmaceutical powders is crucial for growing segments besides pharmacy. Functional foods and cosmetics formulated with active ingredients and excipients depend on powdered forms to fulfill their promises.

Pharmaceutical powder

The building blocks of matter have driven the imagination of philosophers, scientists, and artists for millennia. But, for manufacturers, these elements have a more concrete existence as powders. Powder processing technology conditions these primary materials to create a vast range of products, from chemicals and foods to pharmaceuticals and ceramics.

Powder

Among all dosage forms in use today, tablets constitute the most common one. They are pharmaceutical solid dosage forms containing active ingredients and excipients such as diluents, binders, glidants, and lubricants. Using tablet making equipment, these solid dosage forms are made by compression of granules or powder blends and then shaped by molding.

Dirty substances are generally related to hydrophobic fatty materials insoluble in water. However, detergents are amphiphilic, meaning they contain both non-polar hydrophobic (water-hating) and polar hydrophilic (water-loving) ends. This dual nature allows the detergent to grab the oily-greasy dirt stains and wash them away.

As surfactants or a mixture of surfactants, detergents have the ability to decrease the surface tension of water. This function facilitates the formation of dispersions, <a href="https://making.com/emulsions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">emulsions</a>, and suspensions.

The most common detergent is soap, a sodium salt of fatty acids. To increase solubility, modern detergents contain alkyl-benzene sulfonates. In fact, these compounds (polar sulfonate group) are more soluble in hard water than soap (polar carboxylate group). Polar sulfonate is less likely to bind to calcium and other ions of the hard water than polar carboxylate.

<h2>Detergent manufacturing process</h2>
Detergent manufacturing involves mixing the raw materials in large tanks; the manufacturing process can be batch as well as continuous. Raw materials are selected based on the form and properties of the desired end product. It is essential to mix all ingredients thoroughly in a mixer machine to ensure that the chemicals are evenly distributed in the detergent.

Fillers, surfactants, disinfectant agents, and chemical agents are used as ingredients in detergent making. To give color, powdered pigments can be added. In <a href="https://making.com/hand-soap" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hand soap</a> production, for example, adding a preservative is critical to prevent the proliferation of bacteria if the soap is exposed to a substandard environment.

<h2>Liquid detergent, powder detergent, or laundry detergent?</h2>
Historically, when people referred to detergent, they usually indicated laundry detergent. It was only after the 20th century, due to the development of detergent making equipment, that the word <em>detergent</em> acquired a broader meaning with its liquid and powder form.

Wash, dry, fold, repeat. This is the daily formula for doing laundry. Helping us in this daily task is detergent which has a <em>slightly</em> different formula.

Producers can use three methods when making <a href="https://making.com/laundry-detergent" target="_blank" rel="noopener">laundry detergent</a>: dry mixing, agglomeration, or spray drying. The spry drying technique is the most used because it produces a lightweight, well-hydrated product that doesn’t cake. Pay attention to the pH range when producing the washing powder; the pH has to be  9-10.5. to ensure it is compatible with human skin and can clean effectively.

The ingredients that make up <a href="https://making.com/powder-detergents" target="_blank" rel="noopener">powder detergents</a> are builders, surfactants, and enzymes. This detergent is mainly used as a laundry detergent and is a more affordable choice because containing no water is lighter than liquid detergent, meaning that it has lower transportation costs. Powder detergent can be made by the agglomeration method and can be easily recognized by its granule-like appearance; however, the spry drying method is widely used in the detergent industry because it simplifies the process and improves the profit margin by turning a slurry into a dried powder in a single step.

<a href="https://making.com/liquid-detergents" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Liquid detergents</a> are nothing more than powders mixed with water and chemical solutions called solubilizers, making detergents dissolvable in water.

Powder vs. liquid detergent

Packing your detergent products

<a href="https://making.com/dishwasher-tablets" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dishwasher tablets</a> are essential to make your dishes shine. The dishwasher tablet production always starts by obtaining granular detergent additives from a spray-dried slurry – Did we already mention that the spray-drying method is everywhere in the detergent making process?

After combining the granules with builders, water, surfactant, bleaching agent, dye, and fragrance, producers transfer it to a hydraulic or rotary press for the tableting process.

…And what about dishwasher tablets?

<h2 style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6.0pt 0cm;">Packing your detergent products</h2>
When it comes to detergents, the packaging process depends on whether the detergent comes in liquid or powder form. For liquid detergents, a filling system pumps the liquid product into plastic bottles where a weighing device controls the correct filling level. After filling, a capping machine seals the bottles. For powder detergent, the packaging process begins by creating the bag or the pouch from a flat carton or laminated film. Then the selected container will be filled with powder detergent and sealed.
