Detergent Drying 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.

Dishwasher tablets

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.

In 2009, billionaire Stanley Ho made the winning bid for a giant white truffle weighing 3.3 pounds during an auction. Price: $330,000. Looking at the price, there's no need to explain why truffles are called the diamonds of the kitchen. After harvesting, they are selected to be sold fresh or processed to make truffle products such as truffle cream. Truffle processing involves cleaning, cutting, grinding, cooking, packaging, and sterilizing.

Truffle cream

As simple as its own ingredients, the grain-hops-yeast trifecta along with water are the big four ingredients for making beer. The beer-making process is known as brewing and involves several steps like milling, mashing, lautering, boiling, and fermentation.

Mineral water is mother nature’s cocktail of dissolved solids. The concentration of essential chemicals in the water makes it an excellent source of nutrients and electrolytes. Although your bottled product retains most of the properties present at its natural condition, the water still needs some help before it can be safely consumed.

A beverage is any kind of liquid or drink, usually other than water, made for human consumption. Beverages are further classified into two categories: alcoholic beverages and non-alcoholic beverages. Alcoholic beverages refer to liquids that contain 1% to 75% of liquor and are produced by fermentation such as wine, beer, or distillation such as vodka, rum, tequila. Non-alcoholic beverages are drinks that don’t have any liquor such as tea, coffee, fruit juices, soft drinks, and carbonated beverages. They can be produced premix or postmix, depending on the setup of your production line.

Cannabinoids are natural compounds obtained from the Cannabis sativa plant. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or THC is a psychotropic substance. Cannabidiol, or CBD, is non-psychotropic and often used for nutraceutical purposes. Cannabinoid equipment extracts THC and CBD from the plant and prepares the substance for formulations that treat pain, nausea, anxiety, and inflammations. Cannabinoids are processed in various forms, including creams, capsules, and oils.

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.

It took the scientific community almost 70 years to agree on the name ‘protein’ and discard the popular alternative, proteid. But protein powder processing still needed another five decades to be commercialized in the 1950s. Once extraction and purification could be industrialized, protein powder soon became a basic staple supplement.

Protein powder

Around a third of your natural protein composition is collagen. But the human body still finds good use for more of it, whether to reinforce joints or aid digestion. Collagen powder processing breaks the chains of amino acids into smaller units, allowing them to be consumed at higher concentrations without changing your diet.

The battery revolution is as old as the industrial revolution. But batteries only emerged as a viable power source with lithium-ion solutions in the last quarter of the 20<sup>th</sup> century. Today, anything from power tools to automobiles runs on batteries, but advances in battery making equipment are eyeing more ambitious undertakings. Will we ever see battery-powered container ships? Will Battery Energy Storage Systems grow grid-scale successfully? Production technology is steadily moving towards this vision.

Batteries

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.

Pharmaceutical developments walk side by side with health advances to provide new medicines, treatments, and therapies that have increased life quality and extended life expectancy by years. Pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment helps deliver products to a great deal of the population, but there’s a significant share that doesn’t benefit from them yet. Over 2 billion people cannot get the medicines they need, according to the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, and local production might be a way to provide for these people.

Pharmaceuticals

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.

<span style="font-weight: 400">Spice manufacturing is one of the world's oldest trading products. The word spice refers to any dried part of a plant other than the leaves and is used for seasoning and food coloring. Spices are made from dried barks, roots, berries, and twigs, while green leafy parts of plants are considered herbs. Well-known examples include cinnamon, chilies, star anise, ginger, garlic salt, turmeric, cumin, or pepper, as well as pre-mixed blends such as Masala, Five-Spice Powder, or Old Bay.</span>

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.
