Advanced Industrial Cream Mixing Solutions

Advanced High Viscosity Mixing Solutions for Lotion, Balm, Cream, Ointment and Toothpaste Production Line

For manufacturers of lotions, balms, creams, toothpaste and ointments, selecting the right mixing technology is essential for achieving uniform consistency, stable emulsions, and high-quality textures. IMMAY advanced mixing systems are designed to handle a wide range of viscosities and processing requirements, ensuring efficient blending, dispersion, and homogenization.

Low Speed Mixing Options

Low-speed mixing is crucial for bulk flow, uniform heat transfer, and proper ingredient distribution in high-viscosity formulations. We offer the following primary solutions:

1. Scraper Agitators (Wall & Bottom Scrapers)

• Designed to continuously remove product buildup from the tank walls and bottom, preventing localized overheating and ensuring uniform temperature distribution.

• Particularly beneficial for heat-sensitive formulations such as cream, toothpaste, ointments and balms.

• Available with PTFE blades for reduced residue buildup and easier cleaning.

High Speed Mixing Options

For dispersing powders, breaking down agglomerates, and achieving fine emulsions, high-speed mixing is essential. We offer two primary solutions:

1. Dispersing Disc (High Speed Disperser)

• Generates a high-speed vortex flow, rapidly wetting and dispersing powders into the liquid phase.

• Provides moderate shear, making it effective for dispersing active ingredients in ointments and creams.

• Best suited for semi-viscous formulations where uniform particle distribution is required.

2. High Shear Homogenizer

• Uses a rotor-stator system to create intense shear forces, reducing particle size to micron or nano-scale for ultra-fine emulsions.

• Critical for stabilizing ointments, lotions, and pharmaceutical creams, ensuring long-term homogeneity.

• Enhances product texture, absorption, and bioavailability, making it ideal for medicinal and skincare applications.

Customizable Mixing Configurations

Depending on production needs, our mixing technologies can be combined into multi-shaft mixing systems to optimize efficiency and product quality:

• Dual Shaft Mixer: A combination of a low speed scraper agitator and a high shear homogenizer, ensuring thorough mixing and effective homogenization.

• Triple Shaft Mixer: Incorporates a scraper agitator, a high speed disperser, and a high shear homogenizer for maximum efficiency in blending, dispersion, and emulsification.

• Vacuum Emulsifier mixer: Designed for aeration-free, high shear homogenization, making it the preferred solution for high-end cosmetic and pharmaceutical ointment production.

Additional Features & Enhancements

• Heating & Cooling Jacket: Maintains precise temperature control for heat-sensitive formulations.

• Vacuum Processing: Eliminates oxidation and air entrapment, improving product stability and texture.

• Custom Mixing Tank Options: Available in high quality stainless steel with single-wall or jacketed designs for enhanced thermal efficiency.

Variable Speed Control: Fine-tunes mixing speeds to match specific process requirements.

• Pre-Engineered Multi-Shaft Mixing Systems Capacities(25-3000 Gallons)

• Dual Shaft Mixer: Scraper agitator + high-shear homogenizer.

• Triple Shaft Mixer: Scraper agitator + high speed disperser + high shear homogenizer.

• Vacuum Emulsifying mixer machine: High shear homogenization with vacuum and temperature control.

Optional Upgrades

• PLC-controlled automation for process consistency

• Custom impeller designs for specialized applications

• Explosion-proof or air-driven motors

• CIP (Clean-in-Place) Inlet compatibility for efficient cleaning

These advanced mixing technologies ensure efficient, high-quality production for cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and personal care applications, meeting the strictest manufacturing standards for lotions, balms, creams, toothpaste and ointments.
