CFD bottom emulsifier optimization for cosmetics is the process of applying Computational Fluid Dynamics to design and improve the mixing of creams, lotions and ointments. This technology guarantees the stability of the emulsion by predicting the behavior of the fluid, eliminating dead zones and ensuring the efficient breakdown of particles.
In the cosmetic industry, perfect homogenization is crucial for the texture and absorption of products. The Bottom Emulsifier Agitators (Rotor-Stator) function as indispensable aids in the breakdown of lumps and emulsions in tanks and process reactors. With virtual simulation, it is possible to adjust the positioning and rotation of the equipment to achieve the ideal droplet size without wasting energy.
Agimix has been in the industrial agitation and mixing solutions market for 15 years, developing high-performance systems. For large-scale plants, we supply the complete emulsification system to be installed in the tank the customer already has, or we manufacture our own reservoirs of up to 10,000 liters. Our engineering uses CFD study to ensure that the equipment delivers maximum performance in any vessel geometry.
Investing in an optimized rotor-stator emulsifier means reducing batch time and avoiding losses due to phase separation. Our designs deliver high shear rate, essential for the production of premium cosmetics that require shine, stability and a smooth touch.
Computational analysis guarantees the reduction in droplet size, resulting in cosmetics with longer shelf life and without phase separation.
The flow study directs the positioning of the bottom emulsifier, ensuring that 100% of the product passes through the high shear zone.
With the optimized rotor-stator geometry, lump breaking occurs much faster, increasing the plant's daily productivity.
Sizing via CFD avoids oversizing motors, delivering the exact power needed for the viscosity of your cosmetic.
We design the agitation and emulsification system tailored for your existing reactor, respecting the physical characteristics of your process.

Direct answers to the most common questions about this equipment and its application.
It is the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to simulate and improve the flow of liquids within a tank. This study allows you to adjust the emulsifier rotor-stator to ensure the perfect mixture of cosmetics, avoiding process failures.
CFD improves stability by predicting exactly where thehighest shear rate will occur in the fluid. With this, engineers adjust the equipment to ensure that all particles reach the ideal size, avoiding the separation of water and oil in the final product.
No, bottom emulsifiers work as aids in breaking down lumps and emulsions in tanks and process reactors. They work in conjunction with slow agitators (such as anchor agitators with scrapers) to ensure total homogeneity of high viscosity creams and lotions.
Agimix manufactures its own tanks with a capacity of up to 10,000 liters. For higher volumes or large industrial plants, we supply and install the complete emulsification system directly in the tank that the customer already has.
Products that require intimate mixing between immiscible phases, such as moisturizing creams, lotions, ointments and sunscreens. The equipment guarantees the smooth and shiny texture required by the personal care market.
Air incorporation is avoided through the correct positioning of the emulsifier at the bottom of the tank and vortex control designed via CFD. In many cases, the process is also carried out under vacuum to guarantee a completely bubble-free cosmetic.
The standard material required is 316L stainless steel with sanitary polish. This specification prevents cross-contamination, facilitates CIP (Clean-In-Place) cleaning and strictly meets the standards of good manufacturing practices in the cosmetic sector.
Yes, it is perfectly possible to retrofit the agitation system in existing reactors. Our team uses dimensional data from your current equipment to design a bespoke solution that integrates seamlessly into your production line.
