Hydroalcoholic gel mixing system
Ensure seamless production of hydroalcoholic gels with an advanced mixing system designed for rapid dispersion and precise blending of alcohol-based solutions and thickeners.
Mixes and Dispenses Hydroalcoholic Gel Components
The CMC-ATEX System by INOXPA is a versatile mixing unit tailored for the production of hydroalcoholic gels, particularly suited for cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. It employs a rotor-stator mixer to ensure efficient dispersion and homogenization of thickeners like xanthan gum and carbopol in alcohol-based solutions. The system supports both batch and continuous operations, capable of handling viscosities up to 5000 cP with adaptability for more viscous products.
Engineered with AISI 316L stainless steel for corrosion resistance, it integrates seamlessly into production lines, featuring CIP capabilities for efficient cleaning. The CMC-ATEX is fully ATEX-certified for safe operation in volatile environments and is equipped with a control panel for seamless integration with existing automation systems. Options for customization include anchor-type agitators, jacketed tanks for thermal control, and skid-mounted pumps, ensuring the system meets specific production requirements.
