Tianfu Emulsifying Machine with Lifting Type Premixing Tanks—represents a highly efficient, ergonomic, and hygienic solution for cosmetic and pharmaceutical production.
Unlike traditional setups where operators must carry heavy buckets of raw materials to pour into the tanks, the Lifting Type system automates the feeding process.
Here is the detailed technical breakdown of this complete equipment series.
🏗️ System Overview: The "Lifting Type" Advantage
In this series, the Oil and Water phase tanks are mounted on hydraulic or electric lifting platforms.
- The Workflow:
⚙️ Component Breakdown
This is the central unit where the final product is made.
- Mixing: High-speed homogenizer (for particle size reduction) Slow-speed anchor scraper (for high viscosity).
- Vacuum: Removes air bubbles for a glossy finish.
- Discharge: Can be bottom discharge (via pump) or tilting discharge.
These are not just simple storage tanks; they are active mixing vessels.
- Lifting Mechanism:
- Hydraulic Lifting: Smooth, powerful, suitable for large tanks (500L ).
- Electric Screw Lifting: Precise, cleaner (no oil leaks), suitable for medium tanks.
- High-Speed Disperser:
- These tanks are equipped with their own high-speed emulsifying heads.
- Purpose: To pre-mix the oil phase (melting waxes) or water phase (dissolving powders like Carbomer) before they enter the main pot. This significantly reduces the cycle time of the main machine.
- Jacketed Heating/Cooling:
- Like the main pot, these tanks have jackets to heat or cool the raw materials prior to emulsification.
- Vacuum Feeding: The main pot creates a vacuum that sucks the pre-mixed materials from the lifting tanks through sanitary piping.
- Piping Design: The pipes are designed with flexibility or specific alignment to accommodate the vertical movement of the lifting tanks.
🌟 Key Benefits of the Lifting Type Series
Feature Benefit
Ergonomics No heavy lifting. Operators do not need to climb ladders or lift heavy buckets to the top of the tanks. Loading is done at ground/waist level.
Hygiene (GMP) Closed System. Materials are transferred via pipes under vacuum, minimizing exposure to the external environment and reducing contamination risk.
Efficiency Parallel Processing. While the main pot is emulsifying Batch A, operators can be loading and pre-mixing materials for Batch B in the lifting tanks.
Cleaning Easy Access. The tanks lower down, making it easy for operators to reach inside and clean the walls or inspect the high-shear head.
📝 Typical Technical Specifications
If you are sourcing this equipment, here is a standard spec sheet structure:
- Main Pot Capacity: 100L – 3000L (Working volume ~70-80%)
- Premix Tank Capacity: Usually 1/3 or 1/2 the size of the main pot (e.g., if Main is 1000L, Premix tanks might be 300L-500L).
- Lifting Height: Typically 1000mm - 1500mm (adjustable).
- Homogenizing Speed: 0 - 3000 rpm (Inverter controlled).
- Stirring Speed: 0 - 60 rpm (for scraper).
- Material: SUS316L (Inner), SUS304 (Outer).
- Surface Finish: Ra ≤ 0.4μm (Mirror Polish).
🎯 Ideal Applications
This specific "Lifting Type" series is best suited for:
- High-Viscosity Creams: Cold creams, hair dyes, thick lotions.
- Pharmaceutical Ointments: Where hygiene and closed transfer are critical.
- Factories with Strict Labor Safety Rules: Eliminating manual handling of heavy loads.
Summary: The Lifting Type Premixing Tank Series is a premium configuration. It costs slightly more than a fixed platform system but pays for itself in labor savings, safety, and faster production cycles.
