Hair Oil Manufacturing Plant, Production Capacity: upto 100 Liters

Shampoos are typically viscous liquids, either clear or opaque (pearlised), containing 20–40% solids, adjusted to approximately pH 5.5. Most, but not all, have viscosities in the ratio of 500–1500 centipoise. 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. Manufacturing Process: Shampoos are manufactured by simple slow blending in a stirred vessel. The vessel may be jacketed for heating. The shampoo manufacturing plant vessels are normally closed type and subjected to vacuum to avoid excessive foaming when the foaming agent is added. For best results contra type rotating stirrer is best used for shampoo manufacturing. Ingredients are weighed or metered incrementally into the mixing vessel, with thorough mixing between each addition. A moderate amount of heat is used to reduce the viscosity and so facilitate ease of mixing. Some pearling agents are waxy solids at ambient temperature and require melting in premixing vessels before use. Demineralised water is most commonly used in order to minimize contamination of the product. No further processing is required after blending, & perfuming and the product may be packed off directly from the mixing vessel. Or may be transferred to storage vessels from where they are transferred to the filling machines.Many companies make the bases for the shampoos where they do all the premixing of surfactants, sles, other ingredients and sell the same to major industries These industries are mainly called the formulators and in this second level processing will involve only the addition of water, color, and fragrance. In the case of ayurvedic or herbal shampoos, they add their propriety formulae ingredients themselves so that no one knows the exact nature of ingredients and its details.Vessels required for a Shampoo Plant:Main shampoo manufacturing vesselManufacturing 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 an 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. The vessel can also be provided with a 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: The premixing vessel is cylindrical vessels with dished bottom vessels. Top of the vessel is also dished end welded or can be provided with a loose lid too. Agitator assembly in the premix vessel. Is high-speed cowl/ saw cutter type agitator. In some cases, high speed homogenizer is 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. The vessel is provided with a jacket for heating. The jacket can be steam heated or electrically heated as per client's requirement. Suitable insulation and cladding are 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 client's requirements and formulae of the shampoo.
