We manufacture various formulation technologies in our production facility. One of these is the emulsion. This is a mixture of oil and water. These two liquids are not normally miscible. However, the two substances can be mixed by so-called mechanical shearing using a homogeniser and the use of an emulsifier (auxiliary substance).
- Previous manufacturing process: hot water phase, hot oil phase
- New manufacturing process: hot water phase, hot oil phase + addition of cold water phase
By reducing the hot phase and adding a cold phase, we significantly reduce production time and save engery on top!
Important contribution to our sustainability goals:
The enormous potential of this method is demonstrated by the example of a hair care conditioner. We are already saving massive time per year here. By shortening the cooling time and reducing the amount of hot water, we can significantly reduce our energy consumption. In this way, we are making an important contribution to our sustainability goals.
We are endeavouring to adapt this method to other products. This will enable us to further increase our efficiency.
Thanks to the team:
The expertise of each individual, the commitment and the excellent cooperation: all this was decisive for this success. Special thanks to the team involved!
