Cosmetic Emulsification: Bottom Shaker for Creams and Lotions

Overview

The bottom shaker for cosmetics is essential equipment for the emulsification of creams and lotions, ensuring homogeneous and stable mixing between aqueous and oily phases. In the manufacture of beauty and personal care products, the texture and stability of the formula are the main quality indicators perceived by the end consumer.

To achieve this standard of excellence, we use Bottom Emulsifier Agitators (Rotor, Stator), which works in a highly efficient way. This equipment works as an aid in breaking down lumps and emulsions directly in tanks and process reactors, ensuring that the active ingredients and thickeners are completely dissolved without agglomerations.

Agimix has been in the market for industrial agitation and mixing solutions for 15 years, including agitators, tanks, reactors and dispersers, serving the industry in general with robust and reliable designs. Our high shear emulsification systems are designed to increase the productivity of your line, delivering standardized batches with an impeccable finish.

We have developed complete systems that operate in reservoirs of up to 10,000 liters, ideal for the production of moisturizing lotions, ointments and conditioners. The sanitary design of our equipment facilitates cleaning processes (CIP) and prevents cross-contamination, strictly complying with the regulations of the cosmetics industry.

Cosmetic Emulsification: Bottom Shaker for Creams and Lotions

Benefits and advantages

High Emulsification Capacity

The rotor-stator system guarantees the breakdown of lumps and emulsions with extreme efficiency, resulting in perfectly homogeneous and stable mixtures.

Process Time Reduction

The intense mechanical action of the bottom emulsifier accelerates the integration of the aqueous and oily phases, optimizing the production cycle of each batch.

Strict Sanitary Standard

Made from 316L stainless steel, the equipment prevents cross-contamination and facilitates the hygiene required by the cosmetic industry.

Less Raw Material Waste

Complete homogenization at the bottom of the tank prevents the accumulation of unmixed inputs, ensuring full use in cream manufacturing.

Tailor-made Projects

We adapt the Bottom Emulsifier Agitators (Rotor, Stator) for tanks and process reactors according to the viscosity of its formula.

Frequently asked questions

Direct answers to the most common questions about this equipment and its application.

What is cosmetic emulsification?

Cosmetic emulsification is the mechanical process of mixing two immiscible liquids, such as water and oil, to form a stable base. This procedure is essential in creating creams and lotions with a uniform texture, ensuring that the product does not separate on the shelf.

How does a rotor-stator bottom mixer work?

The rotor-stator type bottom agitator works by pulling the ingredients into a mixing head, where they undergo high shear between the rotating blades and the static sieve. This intense mechanical action acts as an aid in the breakdown of lumps and emulsions inside tanks and process reactors.

Why use a bottom emulsifier when making creams?

Using a bottom emulsifier ensures that even the heaviest powdered ingredients that tend to settle are processed immediately. This results in perfect homogenization, accelerating production and avoiding phase separation in the final product.

What is the capacity of the emulsification tanks supplied by Agimix?

Agimix supplies complete agitation systems installed in its own tanks of up to 10,000 liters. For larger volumes, we deliver the agitation and mixing system tailored to be coupled to the large tank that the customer already has.

Can bottom emulsifier be used for high viscosity products?

Yes, the high shear emulsifier is highly recommended for viscous products such as ointments, hair masks and dense creams. In many projects, it works in conjunction with anchor agitators or wall scrapers to ensure full mass movement.

What material is used in the manufacture of the cosmetic shaker?

The cosmetic shaker is predominantly manufactured in 316L stainless steel in the parts that come into direct contact with the product. This material meets the most rigorous sanitary standards, facilitating CIP cleaning and preventing any type of contamination.

Does the equipment help eliminate air bubbles in creams?

Installing the mixer at the bottom of the tank significantly reduces the incorporation of air during the process, unlike agitation from the top in open tanks. To completely eliminate bubbles, the system can be designed to operate under vacuum in the reactor.

Does Agimix only sell the rotor-stator separately?

No, Agimix provides complete industrial mixing projects and systems. We integrate Bottom Emulsifier Agitators (Rotor, Stator) into tanks, reactors and control systems, delivering a ready-to-operate solution in your factory.
