The emulsification of waxes and paraffins in the cosmetic industry is the intensive mixing process that transforms immiscible phases into a homogeneous and stable base, essential for the production of creams, lotions and ointments. To achieve this stability, it is essential to use high shear equipment, capable of reducing droplet size and ensuring the ideal texture of the final product.
During the manufacture of cosmetics, waxes and paraffins need to be melted and integrated into the aqueous phase. This procedure requires strict temperature control and vigorous stirring to prevent phase separation. It is in this scenario that the High shear pump stands out, being ideal for breaking lumps and process recirculation, ensuring a perfectly smooth emulsion without imperfections.
With 15 years in the market for agitation and industrial mixing solutions, Agimix develops complete systems to meet the rigorous demands of the beauty and personal care sector. Our designs are sized to optimize batch time and maximize dispersion quality. We provide everything from the agitation system to integration with the customer's tanks (or own reservoirs of up to 10,000 liters), guaranteeing productive efficiency and batch repeatability.
Investing in a high performance industrial emulsifier means reducing the waste of noble raw materials and avoiding rework caused by instability in the formulation. Our mixing solutions for cosmetic bases are designed in sanitary stainless steel, facilitating CIP (Clean in Place) cleaning and meeting all good manufacturing practice standards required by health surveillance.
High shear technology guarantees a dramatic reduction in particle size, resulting in creams and lotions with perfect texture and a long shelf life.
Using the High shear pump, the system breaks down lumps instantly during the recirculation of the process.
Equipment manufactured in 316L stainless steel with sanitary polishing, avoiding cross-contamination and facilitating hygiene processes in the cosmetic industry.
The high homogenization capacity reduces thermal and mechanical processing time, saving energy and increasing daily productivity.
We supply the complete agitation system adapted to the customer's existing tanks, ensuring perfect integration with their current production line.

Direct answers to the most common questions about this equipment and its application.
emulsification of waxes and paraffins is the process of mixing these oily substances with water and surfactants to create a homogeneous base. This procedure is essential for the manufacture of creams, lotions and ointments, requiring vigorous stirring to prevent phase separation.
The most recommended equipment is the High shear pump, specifically designed for lump breaking and intensive homogenization. It acts to recirculate the process, forcing the fluid through a rotor and stator system that breaks up any agglomeration.
To avoid phase separation, it is necessary to use a high shear emulsifier combined with precise temperature control during melting. Intense mechanical agitation reduces the size of the dispersed phase droplets, ensuring a stable emulsion with a long shelf life.
Agimix manufactures its own tanks with a capacity of up to 10,000 liters. For volumes greater than this capacity, we supply and size the complete agitation system to be installed directly in the tank that the customer already has in their plant.
The use of the high shear pump in process recirculation ensures that 100% of the batch passes through the maximum shear zone repeatedly. This ensures extremely uniform particle size distribution, vital for the smooth texture of high-end cosmetics.
Mixers for the cosmetic sector are manufactured in 304 or 316L stainless steel, depending on the chemical aggressiveness of the formulation. This material receives high-quality sanitary polishing to prevent the accumulation of residue and facilitate CIP (Clean in Place) cleaning.
Batch time optimization is achieved by replacing conventional agitators with high shear systems. Focused mechanical energy accelerates the dissolution of solids and emulsification of waxes, drastically reducing the time needed to achieve the desired homogeneity.
