Personal care

The personal care industry is concerned with the production of those consumer products necessary for your cleanliness and hygiene, beauty items, toiletries, perfumes and personal appearance.

The production of personal care items, being a consumer industry, requires mass production systems that meet the requirements and formulations of each product, to meet the quality and standardization, as well as the efficiency of the processes, it is necessary to implement systems of instrumentation, automation and information tailored to each process.

Continuous dosing and filling with high precision

Ensuring that the exact amount of product is filled precisely and continuously every time is essential in the cosmetics production process. In addition, mechanical dosing and filling components can be maintenance-intensive and unreliable, leading to long process interruptions.

Automatic systems improve the quality of the product and avoid manipulation by the operator, avoiding contamination of the product, as well as always dispensing the same quantity.

Increased production, reduced downtime in the process and the possibility of growing even more with the integration of new filling systems.

These systems apply to the products:

• Shampoo
• Skin lotions
• Toothpaste
• Cleaning products and disinfectants
• Perfumes, fragrances, deodorants
• Cosmetic products in liquid presentation

Elimination of impurities in paper pulp

The already thickened water is fed to a dewatering press where its solids content increases up to 32%, then it is taken to a tunnel that, through a steam injection system, raises its temperature to make it pass through the dispersion discs where bleaching liquor is added before being sent to the bleaching tower.

Pulp bleaching

To obtain the desired level of whiteness, the pulp must be bleached. To do this, it is introduced into a bleaching tower up to 25 m high. The bleaching process takes place continuously at temperatures up to +95°C with the addition of bleaching chemicals such as oxygen, ozone, hydrogen peroxide and chlorine hydroxide. All this process must be done before being sent to the server.

The bleaching process takes place continuously at temperatures up to +95°C with the addition of bleaching chemicals such as oxygen, ozone, hydrogen peroxide and chlorine hydroxide. The final bleached cellulose is discharged through augers. Due to its size, the bleaching tower is never empty. Continuous level measurement ensures a smooth process.

Preparation of antibacterial gel (Sanitizing gel)

Significantly reduces the amount of bacteria found on hands. As soap and water are not always available for cleaning hands, using alcohol contained in a gel that can be easily applied and transported represents a good option to achieve constant and efficient disinfection.

The process consists of the correct dosage and sequence according to time and perfect mixing of the components in the agitator tank to reach the correct viscosity.
