Shampoo Manufacturing Plant
General
Shampoos are typically viscous liquids, either clear or opaque (pearlised),
containing 2040% solids, adjusted to approximately pH 5.5. Most, but
not all, have viscosities in the ratio of 5001500 centipoises. A hair
shampoo may be defined as a detergent specifically formulated for the
washing of hair, and packaged in a user-convenient form. Typically, a
shampoo must clean well, rinse easily, impart gloss to the hair, minimize
tangle and not damage the hair structure, or the scalp or the eyes.
The Range of Our Supply :-
Main Shampoo Manufacturing Vessel
Manufacturing vessel is cylindrical vessels with dished bottom vessels. Top
of the vessel is also dished end welded. Agitator assembly in the
manufacturing vessel., slow speed Anchor agitator is provided in the
manufacturing vessel. However for best results contra rotating or semi
contra rotating agitators are normally preferred by most of the
manufacturers for excellent quality of the shampoo produced. CIP turbo disk
is provided at the top of the vessel for cleaning. Suitable nozzles,
manholes, valves etc are provided on the vessel. Vessel can also be provided
with jacket which can be used for both heating and cooling if required by
the client. Manufacturing vessel can be subjected to full vacuum.
Premixing Vessel
Premixing vessel is cylindrical vessels with dished bottom vessels. Top of
the vessel is also dished end welded or can be provided with loose lid too.
Agitator assembly in the premix vessel. Is high speed cowl/ saw cutter type
agitator. In some cases high speed homogenizer are also provided. CIP turbo
disk is provided at the top of the vessel for cleaning. Suitable nozzles,
manholes, valves etc are provided on the vessel. Vessel is provided with
jacket for heating. Jacket can be steam heated or electrically heated as per
clients requirement. Suitable insulation and cladding is provided on
the jacket. There is no need for any vacuum in this vessel. Normally the
capacity of this vessel is 60 % the capacity of the main manufacturing
vessel. Premix vessels can be 1 no or 2 nos as per the clients requirements
and formulae of the shampoo.
Storage Vessel
Storage vessel is simple vessel used to store shampoos. It is cylindrical
type of vessel with dished bottom, loose top lid. Bottom valve is provided
with din fittings to facilitate the pipeline connection. Its capacity is the
same as the manufacturing vessel. Normally storage tanks are more in number
so that different types of shampoos can be manufactured and stored. Filling
is then done as per the requirement & market demands.
SLES / Surfactants Storage Vessel
In manufacturing of shampoos the SLES/ surfactants form a major
ingredients. Hence it has to be stored in large quantities. Also if drums of
200 kgs are bought it will turn expensive for the manufacturers. Hence most
of the manufacturers but one entire tanker of surfactants and store the
same. Normally one weeks/ months usage of surfactants are normally kept
stored to ensure continuous production. Hence the capacity of this storage
tank will be taking into consideration of the storage requirements of the
client. This tanks are vertical tanks with big heights with flat bottom. Top
is also closed with suitable manhole and nozzles for effective loading into
the vessel through pumps. Similarly outlet is also provided at the bottom
where the surfactants are transferred from the storage vessel into the
manufacturing vessel or premix vessel through pumps.
Pumps
Transfer pumps are used to transfer material from premix vessel to the
manufacturing vessel only if the mfg vessel is not under vacuum. If it is
under vacuum the premix is automatically transferred into the main vessel
through vacuum. Transfer pumps are required for the following Transferring
surfactants to premix / main vessel From main vessel to storage vessels From
storage vessel to filling machine.
Pipeline
Interconnecting pipeline is provided for the plant as per the layout of the
clients room size. All pipelines are electro polished from inside and
outside. All joints are DIN standards quick openable types. Pipelines are
used for transferring the surfactants from storage tank to premix vessels,
from premix vessels to manufacturing vessels and from mfg vessels to storage
vessel and from storage to filling line.
Others
All vessels have CIP/ SIP nozzles & conical filters are provided at the
discharge of the vessels. Entire plant is fully automatic and interconnected
by suitable pipeline & requires only one operator for all the
operations. Suitable working platform is provided for cleaning and
maintenance. An integrated control panel fully automatic controlled by a PLC
is provided. (Optional)
Control Panel & Automation
Control panel is provided with all the starters, overload relays, push
buttons, lamps, ckt breakers etc. all hardware required for automatic
operation of the shampoo mfg plant is provided in the control panel. Various
automation is available as per clients requirements to name a few
- PLC base Automation
- Load cells under each vessel
- Pneumatically operated valves
- Any Other custom built automation
- Capacities of shampoo manufacturing plants manufactured
- 200 Ltrs to 20000 ltrs / batch
Other Types of Shampoo Plants Available
Shampoo plants are also available in economic range where open type with
agitator vessels are provided with various cheaper options to suit every
budget.
