Aluminium oxide or alumina is a naturally occurring compound of aluminium and oxygen made from bauxite, a dull and earthy rock with high aluminium content. Bauxite is the most common ore of aluminium and you can find it in tropical areas Most of the bauxite mined end up producing aluminium with specific aluminium oxide equipment. Statistics have shown that Australia and Guinea have the largest bauxite deposits in the world. Countries like China, Brazil, and India also have a large amount of the rock.

Plastic pollution is one of the biggest climate-related problems mankind has. So what are your options? A bioplastic machine can help create an alternative to traditional plastics. Bioplastics, differently from regular plastics, don’t cause environmental contamination. Also, they don’t contain harmful ingredients and additives. Even with these benefits, the annual production of bioplastics is still less than one percent of all plastic making. However, the market is witnessing steady growth due to a rise in demand.

Bioplastics

Calcium carbonate makes up almost one-twentieth of the earth’s crust. But the abundant mineral is found in many living things, including the human body. However, processing calcium carbonate extracts the multi-purpose material from inorganic sediments, namely limestone, chalk, and marble.

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 Historically, colors were extracted from the natural world, but that process has been replaced by processing technology.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.

To make glue, you usually starting from gelatin, which is animal collagen. Glues help in the production of furniture, automobiles, clothing, paper, wood, art and craft, to name a few applications. The production of different glues depends on their industrial use. Different manufacturing processes and glue making equipment make it easier to create the many variations of this useful product.

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.

Lithium-ion batteries

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.

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.

Phosphorous is literally at the root of the food industry. An essential ingredient in agriculture, it contributes to plant seed formation and root development. But farmers do not simply give their soil a dose of the chemical element. Instead, phosphorous fertilizer processing equipment blends it with other materials to manufacture effective formulas.

Phosphorus fertilizer

Powder detergent is one of the most widespread washing solutions used in the laundry of fabrics. Since they contain no water, powder detergents are lighter than liquid detergent or pods, which results in cheaper transport and, thus, a more affordable choice for the end consumer. Although manufacturers can formulate their powder detergents differently, the detergent powder production process relies on a combination of builders, surfactants, and enzymes.

Powder detergent

Despite only one letter difference, silicon and silicone are two different things. While silicon is the 14th chemical element on the periodic table, silicone is a synthetic material that, among other chemical elements, contains silicon. Although commonly observed as plastic, technically silicone is rubber. Among others, silicone processing equipment mainly involves several high-temperature machines, mixers and molds.

Silicone

The inventor of the lithium-ion battery predicted that solid-state batteries would become commercially available by the mid-2020s, making them an attractive option for energy storage in a wide range of applications, including electric vehicles. This battery type promises a marked improvement in safety, power, and environmental impact compared to current battery packs that use a liquid electrolyte. However, recent breakthroughs in the lab don’t automatically translate into mass production. The complex processing requires specially-designed manufacturing technology to make solid-state batteries a real solution, especially for the automotive industry.

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.

Chewable tablets are suitable for patients who have difficulty swallowing. Chewable tablet formulation masks the natural flavors of pharma drugs and alters their aftertaste. But besides the taste, chewable tablets favor the bioavailability of pharmaceutical ingredients.

Chewable tablets

The fizz of effervescent tablets is commonly associated with a vitamin C boost. But the soluble pill is an excellent drug delivery method for pediatric and geriatric patients. Sometimes referred to as carbon tablets, manufacturing effervescent tablets binds biocarbonate and citric acid that produce the smooth hiss as they dissolve in liquid.

Effervescent tablets

Microtablets range between 1 and 4 millimeters, making the dosage form an excellent delivery system in polypharmacy. The size of the products makes them easier pills to swallow, but microtablets production brings a unique set of complexities.

Microtablets

It is strange how two tablets can belong to the same but at the same time to a different category depending on how the tablet itself is classified. For example, chewable tablets and effervescent tablets have two different routes of administration but both belong to the category of uncoated tablets. Uncoated tablets are prepared by compression of granules in which no coating is added after compression. They may be single-layer or multi-layer tablets.

Uncoated tablets

When taking a tablet, it is usually the job of our stomach to break down the medication to make it ready to be absorbed into the bloodstream. However, some drugs are not meant to be dissolved in the stomach because the acidic pH of the stomach can disintegrate the drug, making it no longer effective. Using tablet coating equipment that applies a polymer barrier to the tablet makes it possible to protect it from stomach acidity.

Enteric Coated Tablets

There are slight differences between human and animal pharmaceuticals, but that dissimilarity is enough to create new production challenges. Veterinary tablets formulation reflects the diversity of enzymes that different species use to break down substances. Although the methods involved are comparable to human drug manufacturing, equipment and processes need to adapt to a wider dosage variability in veterinary tablets.

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.

Our food chain starts in the soil, growing crops and livestock. But between the fields and the stores, there is a line of industrial food processing equipment. Processes may be as minimalistic as cleaning fruit and as complex as homogenizing milk alternatives made from pressed legumes. In each case, processing technology is an important link in the food production chain.

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

Among all dosage forms in use today, tablets constitute the most common one. They are pharmaceutical solid dosage forms containing active ingredients and excipients such as diluents, binders, glidants, and lubricants. Using tablet making equipment, these solid dosage forms are made by compression of granules or powder blends and then shaped by molding.

Industrial dehumidification involves the process of removing moisture as well as controlling humidity. For example, warehouses that store grains need a controlled climate to avoid mildew and other moisture-related issues that can ruin or spoil the product. Refrigerant and desiccant dehumidifiers are used to reduce or maintain the level of humidity. Refrigerant dehumidifiers pass the air over a cold coil, cooling the air to the point where its water vapor begins to condense. Instead, desiccant dehumidifiers pass the air through a rotor containing a moisture-absorbing material. Commercial dehumidifiers are somewhat similar to their industrial counterpart in terms of function. The only big difference is the scale at which the equipment is being used.

Dehumidifying

The CONSORB CZ series from Seibu Giken can work with hot water for regeneration or with water in combination with an electric heater.

Humid ambient conditions such as those in tropical climates make dehumidification more challenging as there is a large difference in moisture content

Flour processing technology has changed drastically since the days of the millstone pulled by a mule. But demand for more refined flour means that the production process is now slower than with more rudimentary techniques. When mixed with water, protein in wheat flour form an elastic gluten structure, giving bakery products their irresistible fluffiness.

It took the scientific community almost 70 years to agree on the name ‘protein’ and discard the popular alternative, proteid. But protein powder processing still needed another five decades to be commercialized in the 1950s. Once extraction and purification could be industrialized, protein powder soon became a basic staple supplement.

Protein powder

Around a third of your natural protein composition is collagen. But the human body still finds good use for more of it, whether to reinforce joints or aid digestion. Collagen powder processing breaks the chains of amino acids into smaller units, allowing them to be consumed at higher concentrations without changing your diet.

With the increase in the world population and rising concerns for environmental sustainability, the market for suitable new protein sources is expanding rapidly. Traditional agricultural methods alone can’t deliver sufficient protein to meet the projected food demand over the next decades. Insects provide an alternative source of nutrients. But insect protein does not mean direct insect consumption. Extracting protein and amino acids from farmed insects is more sustainable and efficient. Specialized insect protein processing technology is driving the transformation toward new protein sources.
