Pigment Separation 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.

Carbon black

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 Historically, colors were extracted from the natural world, but that process has been replaced by processing technology.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

Bentonite is a clay derived from the alteration of volcanic ash. Bentonite is solid, so after extracting it from the deposits, it has to be crushed and dried to reduce its moisture content up to 15%.

Bentonite

Kaolin, also called china clay, is made from natural rock composed of aluminosilicate clay or kaolinite. Kaolin has wide applications in different industries. Moreover, their classification depends on their industrial use, which includes film formation, fiber extension, polymer extension and chemical composition. Choose a kaolin processing machine to help you make kaolin for beauty products, paper filler, coating, ceramics and even medicine.

Industrial Separation Equipment

Industrial separation equipment encapsulates the separation process which is to separate components of a liquid mixture, for recovering dissolved solids from liquids. The choice of a suitable technology depends on the identification of the key physical or chemical property, such as size, mass, density, or boiling point, which sets the product of interest apart from the rest of the components. Separation technology is widely used in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries for the isolation of active ingredients and high-purity chemicals. As well as in waste management and recycling industries.

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

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.

According to a legend, Cleopatra soaked her sails in her perfume so that Mark Antony could smell her ships before they arrived. This is to say that, from soaps and shampoos to perfumes, conditioners and pomades, cosmetics have always been highly valued and used for their properties of aesthetic enhancement. Cosmetics are a broad class of topical agents applied for various purposes such as cleansing, protecting, beautifying, or otherwise altering your appearance. As a result, a wide array of processing equipment is used in the cosmetics industry.

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

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.

In 1682, Denis Papin found a method to remove collagen from animal bones, discovering gelatin. But it was the inventor Peter Cooper who developed gelatin powder processing. In 1845 he secured his invention with US patent 4084 for a dessert of gelatin powder called “portable gelatin”.

Forged metal objects appear seamless, simple items. But as the use of metals changed over time and constructions became more intricate with additive manufacturing, a new way of processing materials surfaced. Metal powder manufacturing replaces the classic blacksmithing techniques, reducing scrap waste in the meantime. The final metal products, however, retain that shiny allure of the archetypal metal pieces.

All plastics are polymers, but not all polymers are plastics. Polymer production is a multi-step process that transforms raw materials into products that we use in our day-to-day life with the help of polymer process equipment such as extruders, calenders and injection molding machines.

Cosmetic serums are a very light formulation with a high density of active ingredients dispersed in oil, water, or gel. This makes serums well suited to the delivery of vitamins, antioxidants, and anti-aging ingredients, but provide less moisturization and protection. Serum production is mainly divided into stages related to optimal mixing and preventing degradation of the active ingredients.

Pharmaceutical

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

Cannabinoids are natural compounds obtained from the Cannabis sativa plant. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or THC is a psychotropic substance. Cannabidiol, or CBD, is non-psychotropic and often used for nutraceutical purposes. Cannabinoid equipment extracts THC and CBD from the plant and prepares the substance for formulations that treat pain, nausea, anxiety, and inflammations. Cannabinoids are processed in various forms, including creams, capsules, and oils.

Cannabinoids

Essential oils are known as the liquid gems of nature. The sweet-smelling essences impact not just our senses but also our biochemical and cellular make-up. Besides aromatherapy, the products of an essential oil extraction system found applications in pharmaceuticals and foods.

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

Ancient civilizations discovered that plant extracts were useful for the treatment of pathologies. The origin of plant extraction cannot be specifically verified, but we can infer that the earliest attempts at plant extraction were more intuitive than scientific. Today, the extraction of compounds is a precise process with plant extraction systems complimenting traditional knowledge.

Plant extracts

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.

Powder

Industrial drying machines are designed to remove moisture from your product. But the drying process must cater to variations in the state of matter and molecular structure of the input material. Industrial dryer technology exploits the modes of heat transfer (convection, conduction, radiation, evaporative cooling) to control the moisture content.

Drying

Evaporation technology is used to reduce or remove the moisture content of a mixture. Considerations for choosing suitable evaporation equipment include the moisture content in the mixture, the boiling point of the solvent, heat sensitivity of the product, and the amount of material to be processed. Evaporators are used for applications such as obtaining fruit and vegetable concentrates in the food industry, concentrating aromas and herbal extracts in the cosmetics industry, and isolating active ingredients in the pharmaceutical industry.

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.

You can separate liquids and solids in semifluid materials with a filter press. This machine may be automatic or manual, and passes the viscous substance through a series of filter chambers that press against one another to squeeze out the liquids, draining them in a channel at the base of the structure. The liquids are extracted using pressurized air, leaving only the solids to be collected from between the movable plates.

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.
