Toothpaste Production Plant

Water and humectants are the base, followed by surfactants, abrasives, thickeners, dyes, flavorsand preservatives.

It's possible that the components and their relative amounts will change from one manufacturer to the next.

Bactericides, whiteners, trace amounts of fluoride, etc., can be added to products depending on their intended use and the market.

First, water and then sorbitol are added using a pump or vacuum suction during the loading process.

For the first 15 minutes of the total 45-minute mixing process, the tank bottom mixer is actively running.

The tank bottom mixer is restartedand the agitation speed is raised by increasing the anchor speed to 40 revolutions per minute (rpm) and the central blades to 80 rpm.

By putting the tank in a vacuum, the internal pressure is kept at a steady 2–3 mbar.Thereafter, the solid products (colloidal kaolin, titanium oxide, calcium carbonate) are vacuum-fed via the bottom of the tank intake, moving up in volume.

The product must be fed extremely slowly to prevent lumps from forming and to allow for adequate time for absorption and wetting.

When the product reaches a particular viscosity, the tank's bottom mixer is turned off.

After all of the solid ingredients have been added, the two agitators are run at the initial speed for about an hour before being slowed to the starting speed.

After that, the remaining liquids are added and combined for 20 minutes.

After about 10 minutes of mixing, the vacuum is turned off and the perfume and other ingredients are added.

At last, the mixers are turned offand a sample is removed for analysis.

A progressive cavity Kiber pump is used to discharge the final product.
