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.

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.

Laundry detergents are currently on the rise due to increasing urbanization and the need for automation. The global market will reach $98,139.7 million by 2030 from $61,711.0 in 2020, influencing the demand for laundry detergent equipment. Unlike in Western countries, powdered detergents are more popular in Asia and China because they’re cheaper.

Laundry detergent

Although invented in the early 20th century by Otto Rohm, detergents gained popularity in the 1950s due to the development of modern technology and washing machines which started replacing scrub boards. The liquid detergent manufacturing process involves three key stages: soap premix manufacture, ingredient mixing and enzyme addition.

Liquid detergents

Landline telephones in the 1980s were minimalist gadgets that kept getting slimmer in the 1990s. In contrast, cell phones in the same period were bulky and cumbersome. And once they lost their charge, they turned into a giant paperweight. Then came a revolution in batteries and automation with lithium-ion battery manufacturing equipment. Mobile phones packed more power, recharged faster, and endured more recharge cycles. Above all, they were light and small, making cell phones the inseparable companions they are today. But Lithium-ion batteries power much more than phones. As a result, the world is seeing steady growth in battery manufacturing equipment and lithium-ion production lines.

Also known as color concentrates for plastics, masterbatches are plastic granules that contain additives for coloring plastics. Their major purpose is to bring vibrance and improve the final product's appearance. In the process of making them, masterbatch production equipment is used to combine two major constituents—colorants and polymer-specific carriers.

Masterbatches

Growing populations and intensive farming in the last centuries reduced soil nitrate levels. Aware of the risks to food security, chemists Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch developed a way to industrialize synthetic nitrogen fertilizer production. They created the Haber-Bosch process for ammonia synthesis which is still used today. Manufacturers produce over a hundred million metric tons of nitrogenous fertilizers every year.

Unlike natural resins, synthetic resins produced in the industry make up 30 to 60% of plastic composition. Silicone resins, gum arabic, epoxy resins, acrylic resin and carrageenan are some of the different types of synthetic resins that exist. You manufacture them using the chemical polymerization process. Synthetic resin making equipment can help you with that.

Synthetic resin

As traced back to the first half of the 19th century, attempts at synthetic rubber production were simply to reproduce the original material due to the rubber shortage following World War II. Synthetic rubber production processes differentiate between producing the rubber, which can be done via solution polymerization and emulsion polymerization and creating the final product with the help of techniques such as molding and vulcanization.

The battery revolution is as old as the industrial revolution. But batteries only emerged as a viable power source with lithium-ion solutions in the last quarter of the 20<sup>th</sup> century. Today, anything from power tools to automobiles runs on batteries, but advances in battery making equipment are eyeing more ambitious undertakings. Will we ever see battery-powered container ships? Will Battery Energy Storage Systems grow grid-scale successfully? Production technology is steadily moving towards this vision.

Batteries

Ceramics are defined as inorganic and non-metallic materials. Tthey are typically brittle, hard, and elastic as well as resistant to heat and corrosion; in fact, after shaping them into the desired shape, they are heated in an oven called kiln at very high temperatures (1,000 °C to 1,600 °C). Kaolinite and aluminum oxide are the best-known examples of ceramics.

Ceramics

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 powder

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.

Pharmaceuticals

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.

A ball mill uses the impact of ceramic or stainless steel balls, falling from near the top of a horizontal shell to crush the material into fine particle sizes. Ball milling is all about size reduction by using grinding media. In this case, the grinding media are ball, either ceramic or steel. The outer cylindrical shell rotates to lift the grinding balls to the top from where they fall; grinding and blending the materials at the same time. Ball mills are typically used in the ceramic, glass, paint, pyrotechnics, and porcelain industries and are also often used in food and chocolate production. By choosing the right combination of rotational speed, ball material, size, and weight it is possible to process a wide range of materials to produce ultra-fine products.

Ball mills

Continuous milling is a flow production method used to grind materials without interruption. It is often used in the production of foods, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and minerals. The material to be processed flows in at one end and the milled output flows out at the other in a continuous process. By choosing the right combination of milling technology and processing power you can obtain the desired particle size distribution in an uninterrupted stream.
