Pigment Centrifuging Equipment

Carbon blacks are fine pigment particles that consist mainly of carbon. Its production became popular in the second century with the establishment of paper production. Hydrocarbons such as oil and natural gas are the basic raw materials for manufacturing them. However, the properties of carbon black differ depending on the processes carried out with the use of carbon machinery and production technology.

Dyes lend color to the things we consume. The foods we eat, the clothes we wear, and even the keyrings that separate your bunch all have a splash of dye added. Historically, colors were extracted from the natural world, but that process has been replaced by processing technology. Dye manufacturing equipment produces colors that are high in definition and consistency.

Colors present an enduring philosophical problem that generates lofty debates about subjectivism and consciousness. Meanwhile, ink manufacturing equipment turns colors into physical objects. Perhaps paradoxically, digitalization keeps fueling the use of printing ink. From custom clothing to secondary packaging to aircraft livery, inks are everywhere. Indeed, philosophical discussions are also primarily conducted in ink on paper.

Painting as an integral aspect of the human tradition dates to thousand years ago. Of the many properties of the product, the drying time is important to consumers. The thickness of the paint and environmental factors like humidity affect this parameter. Paint manufacturing equipment must include a humidity test chamber to assess the behavior of paint under different weather conditions.

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient, but the human species lost the ability to produce it biologically during the course of evolution. Instead, we source the substance either from whole foods or vitamin C manufacturing. The chemical characteristics of the natural nutrient and processed compound are the same, but supplements offer higher concentrations, especially to persons with nutrient deficiencies.

Glycerine is a water-soluble liquid mix of alcohol and sugar. It is a by-product of the oil and fats industry that offers added value to various industries. There are three ways to process it: transesterification, saponification, and fat splitting (hydrolysis). In 2020 these 3 forms of glycerine production reached around 4 million metric tons, with a global market of $1.68 billion.

The ubiquitous plastic shopping bag was first designed as a reusable carrier. Its inventor, Sten Gustaf Thulin, will have been appalled to see his creation turn into a single-use object. But this disposable tendency is common to all plastic materials, from screw taps to milk carton lining. With plastic recycling equipment, however, plastic waste can be reprocessed and given a second lease of life.

When he was in Haiti in 1493, Christopher Columbus noticed that the natives were bouncing on rubber balls made from the milky sap of Hevea brasiliensis, also known as a rubber tree native to South America. The milky sap was nothing but latex, the source material for natural rubber. Latex processing technology includes equipment for coagulation techniques and rollers for natural latex and a sequence of mixers, pumps, and sieves for synthetic latex.

Due to their potential hazardous nature, chemicals are classified for proper identification and safety during production. Chemical classification depends on their properties, structures and functions. In the chemical industry, you can regard them as basic chemicals such as acids, chemical products to produce plastic materials and finished chemicals for use in cosmetology. As a manufacturer or engineer, you want to know their reactivity when using chemical processing equipment.

We carry dozens of metals around every day. The ubiquitous smartphone is built with no less than 20 metals, each with specific behaviors and purposes. Metals are a pervasive class of materials that have defined entire eras of human development. It is no exaggeration to say that metal processing equipment is the core of our metallic world. But, paradoxically, this manufacturing technology itself is mainly made of metal.

The nearly 5,000 known minerals on earth share some characteristics to be classified as minerals – they are inorganic, solid, naturally occurring elements and have a particular chemical formula and an ordered internal geometric structure. However, minerals are not all the same. One way to divide them is based on their physical characteristics such as hardness, luster, color, and shape. For example, the diamonds we use to make jewelry are very hard minerals while talc is a soft mineral; gold is a shiny mineral while others are less so.

Minerals

Eating is more than just nutrition, but we have found ways to increase the nourishing power of our foods. Nutraceuticals manufacturing, from vitamin C powder and probiotics to omega 3 oil, is a concentration of natural ingredients and health supplements that complement our diets. While dietary supplements are not quite haute cuisine, the process of extraction and purification is no less a blend of science and art.

Nutraceuticals

Pharmaceutical powders provide longer shelf life and better stability than liquid dosage forms. But the processing of pharmaceutical powders is crucial for growing segments besides pharmacy. Functional foods and cosmetics formulated with active ingredients and excipients depend on powdered forms to fulfill their promises.

Pharmaceutical developments walk side by side with health advances to provide new medicines, treatments, and therapies that have increased life quality and extended life expectancy by years. Pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment helps deliver products to a great deal of the population, but there’s a significant share that doesn’t benefit from them yet. Over 2 billion people cannot get the medicines they need, according to the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, and local production might be a way to provide for these people.

Pigments are colorants that are not soluble in the host material and scatter light and are therefore opaque. Pigments can be organic or man-made and derive from animals, plants, rocks or minerals and metal oxides, like for example titanium oxide.

Can it be said that we live in the Plastic age? Basically, yes. From pillows over toothbrushes, and packaging to utensils, plastic is a widely used material in our day-to-day lives. But what is it? Plastics are synthetic or semi-synthetic materials built of polymers that are easily shaped into various structures with the help of plastic processing equipment such as extruders and molders.

The building blocks of matter have driven the imagination of philosophers, scientists, and artists for millennia. But, for manufacturers, these elements have a more concrete existence as powders. Powder processing technology conditions these primary materials to create a vast range of products, from chemicals and foods to pharmaceuticals and ceramics.

Extracting sugar from beets became popular in continental Europe during the Napoleonic Wars due to the British blockades of cane sugar. This is thanks to the high sugar content derived from this crop. Also known by its scientific name, "beta vulgaris", The beets’ popularity steadily rose afterwards and today, 20% of all sugar in the world comes from beets. But all of this can't be possible without its seeds. The production and processing of sugar beet seeds includes different steps such as cleaning, priming, pelleting and coating.

Biopharmaceuticals are drugs in which the active substance is manufactured or extracted from biological origin materials. They are usually produced in bioreactors by plant cells, microbial cells, yeast cultures, or mammalian cells. Also known as biomanufacturing, they are used to either treat or diagnose and prevent a patient’s medical condition or disease. Biopharmaceuticals are typically complex macromolecules administered by injection or infusions, and examples include vaccines, serums, and insulin.

Biopharmaceuticals

Parenteral preparations refer to drugs using non-oral means of administration. Injectables, such as needles and syringes, are used to deliver a drug into the systemic circulation directly in the veins, muscles, under the skin, or in the tissue.

These parenteral formulations are pharmaceutical dosage forms that have strict regulations on being sterile, pyrogen-free, and free from visible particulate matter including reconstituted sterile powders. Solutions, suspensions, emulsions, and gels with APIs intended for administration by injection are usually supplied in vials, ampoules, pre-filled syringes, or pens to facilitate ease of use.

Generally, pigments and paints are not bound chemically to the covered surface, water-soluble dies react with fibers in a mordant bath. Apart from colored, decorative paints, white and black pigments have high importance. White titanium dioxide plays an important role in the painting industry, due to its stability, high covering effect, and UV-light absorbing property. Approximately 4.6 million tons of TiO2 pigment are produced annually worldwide, and its use continues to rise. On the other end of paints, carbon black is essential as a toner of the laser printer and filler in tires and other plastics, also due to its stability and UV-light absorbing capability.

<h2>Pigment manufacturing process</h2>
Natural sources of paint lost their importance. Lead oxide pigment dispersed in oil was widely used as primer paint, due to its excellent anticorrosive feature. Since heavy metal lead is poisonous, this red paint is nowadays forbidden. Indigo was extracted from plants cultivated in Asia, nowadays the blue die for denim cloth coloration is synthesized almost exclusively by the chemical industry. The coloring materials were solved in organic solvents, benzene, toluene, xilols, turpentine, and nitro thinner. All these solvents pollute the environment, and some of them are carcinogens. Nowadays water-based products are common; however most part of paints are not water-soluble. In order to avoid segregation, stable dispersion should be formed where the pigments do not sediment.

In order to eliminate solvents, powder coating is used for painting and decorating vehicles and other metal surfaces. Pigments are mixed with polymers, then extruded and milled. Classifier mills are preferable for a narrow particle size distribution

Powder coatings are a solvent-free painting form where pigment is mixed with a polymer, a carrier material that melts in the painting oven so that the pigments adhere to metal objects. Pigments are micronized to have a smooth surface and become miscible with polymer beads. High shear mixing is necessary to break the force of cohesive powders and form polymer-pigment particles avoiding sedimentation in further processing. The video below shows a high-shear mixer for this purpose with a conical shape that provides a vertical upward movement along the wall.

High sheer mixing for powder paints

In emulsion paint, the binding agent is dispersed in water. Dispersion as such an important process that has a big influence on the quality of the final product. Dispersing machines process immiscible materials in a high shear chamber, where sharp edge tools of high-speed rotor reduce the size of the paint particles and disperse them into the oily or water base matrix. A rotor can have paddles as well, to serve as a recirculation pump. The video below shows how at the top of the rotor a vacuum occurs, sucking in the ingredients, liquids, and powders.

Incorporating solids into liquids is a critical process in producing paints, coatings, and battery components. But this step raises serious emissions concerns. Pumping the materials from one mixing vessel to the next promotes the release of dust particles and solvents into the air.


<h2>Fully enclosed batch mixing system for paints and coatings</h2>
The CMX 2000 inline mixer from IKA incorporates powders into liquids in an enclosed and complete system. Featuring a dosing feeder for solids and recirculation technology, the solution limits the mixing process to one machine and reduces the potential for emissions.

The multi-level pump is designed to keep high-viscosity materials flowing without leaving deposits in the mixing container. The chemicals are recirculated to ensure consistent blending and prevent the formation of agglomerates in the final mix.

Solid may be fed with a bulk bag unloader, a hopper, sack-emptying boxes, or directly from the bag with a suction lance. The CMX 2000 is available for batch sizes between 2 and 5.000 liters.
