The vacuum paste machine is one of the key equipment used in the modern cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries for the production of various paste-like products. can effectively improve the fineness, stability, and sterility of the paste by mixing, stirring, emulsifying, and degassing under vacuum conditions. It is widely used in production of face creams, eye creams, ointments, toothpaste, and other products. Below, King Zong Enterprise will introduce the structure, working principle, and characteristics of the vacuum paste machine in detail.
1. Structural composition
The vacuum paste machine is mainly composed of the following parts:
Main mixing tank: This the core part of the machine, used to store raw materials and carry out mixing and stirring. The tank is usually made of stainless steel, ensuring hygiene and corrosion resistance during the production.
Vacuum system: Includes a vacuum pump and related pipelines, which are used to extract air from the tank, creating a low-oxygen or even oxygen- environment, which helps to remove air bubbles from the raw materials, prevent oxidation, and accelerate the fusion of materials.
Heating/cooling system: Used to control temperature of the materials, ensuring that the mixing and reaction are carried out at an appropriate temperature, improving product quality and efficiency. This usually includes an electric heating jacket, water circulation orrigeration device.
Mixing device: Includes different mixing blades, such as scraping side mixing blades and central mixing blades, designed for mixing needs at different stages, ensuring the materials are evenly mixed.
Discharge system: Includes valves, pipes, and pumps, etc., which are used to output the paste that has completed mixing from the, facilitating subsequent filling and packaging.
Control system: Modern vacuum paste machines are equipped with advanced PLC or touch screen control systems, which can achieve precise control of parameters as stirring speed, temperature, and vacuum degree, and have data recording and alarm functions.
2、Working Principle
Raw Material Preparation: First, all raw materials are accurately weighed according to the formula requirements and added to the mixing tank.
Vacuum Establishment: Start the vacuum pump to pump out the air in the tank, creating a negative pressure environment, which helps to eliminate gases from raw materials, reduce bubbles, and improve product purity.
Heating and Mixing: Depending on the need, turn on the heating system to preheat the material to the temperature, and the stirring device starts working at the same time to ensure thorough mixing and uniformity of various raw materials.
Emulsification and Homogenization: At a stage, a high-speed shear or homogenizer head may be introduced to further refine particles and enhance the stability of the product.
Cooling and De-G: After mixing is completed, the cooling system is used to lower the temperature of the paste, while continuing to maintain the vacuum state to further remove residual gases.
Discharge: Once the product meets the standard of finished goods, it is transferred to the next process or packaging line through the discharge system.
3、Functional features
Efficient mixing and emulsification: Through the precisely designed stirring device and vacuum environment, it can quickly and evenly mix various raw materials, and effectively handle even high-viscosity materials.
Improve product quality: The operation under vacuum conditions reduces oxygen in the air, effectively prevents oxidation of materials, and removes bubbles in the paste, making the product more delicate and stable.
Hygienic and safe: Made of stainless steel, it is easy to clean and disinfect, meets GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards, and ensures the hygiene and safety of the production process.
Automated control: The integrated control system allows the entire production process to be precisely controlled, reducing human errors, and improving production efficiency and consistency between batches.
High flexibility: According to the characteristics of different products and production needs, it can adapt to a variety of paste preparation processes by adjusting parameters such as stirring speed, temperature, and vacuum degree.
In summary, the vacuum paste machine, with its efficient and high-quality production capacity, plays a vital role in the manufacturing of paste-like products and is an important tool for improving product quality and production efficiency.
