Cosmetic Emulsion Prep: 5L Vacuum Emulsifying Homogenizer Mixer

1. Core Demands of the Cosmetic Industry and Equipment Adaptation Logic

The cosmetic industry has stringent requirements for product fineness, stability, and hygiene. Core product categories such as creams, serums, and lotions all rely on efficient emulsification and homogenization of oil-phase and water-phase materials. During the laboratory R&D phase, frequent formula adjustments are necessary, while small-batch trial production needs to balance process stability and cost control. The 5L-grade equipment perfectly fills the gap between miniature experimental devices and large-scale production lines.
Gangben Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd.'s COMB-5L High-Shear Vacuum Homogenizing Emulsifying Unit is a specialized equipment designed precisely for this demand. Its 5L effective volume can not only meet the R&D and trial production needs of 3-10 liters per batch but also avoid material waste caused by large-capacity equipment, perfectly adapting to the entire process of cosmetic from formula optimization to sample preparation.

2. Core Value of Gangben Machinery's Equipment in Cosmetic R&D

2.1 Vacuum Homogenization Technology Ensures Product Quality

The skin feel and stability of cosmetics directly depend on the size of emulsified particles and the content of air bubbles. This equipment of Gangben Machinery adopts a homogenization system with German Fluko technology. Through the strong shear field formed by the high-speed rotating rotor and stator, it can crush material particles to 2-200μm, ensuring that products such as creams and lotions have a fine texture and smooth application. Meanwhile, the whole-process vacuum environment can real-time extract air bubbles generated during the mixing process, fundamentally solving problems such as product "pilling", delamination, and rough appearance, which highly matches the requirements of high-end cosmetics for glossiness and spreadability.

2.2 Precise Temperature Control and Clean Design Meet Industry Standards

Cosmetic raw materials are sensitive to temperature; excessively high or low temperatures will damage active ingredients. Gangben Machinery's equipment achieves precise control of heating and cooling through jacketed heat-conducting medium, with a temperature error controlled within ±1℃, which can meet the processing needs of heat-sensitive raw materials such as vitamin serums and plant extracts. In terms of hygiene and safety, the parts of the equipment in contact with materials are made of 316L or 304 medical stainless steel, and the inner surface undergoes 300EMSH mirror polishing treatment, complying with GMP hygiene standards. It completely avoids the risk of raw material contamination and cross-infection, providing a basic guarantee for cosmetic safety.

2.3 Flexible Operation and Adaptability Improve R&D Efficiency

Laboratory R&D requires frequent switching of formulas and process parameters. The PLC touch screen control system of Gangben Machinery's equipment can achieve precise adjustment of stirring speed (0-120 rpm) and homogenization time. The homogenization and stirring systems can also operate independently, adapting to different material properties from thin lotions to high-viscosity creams. The equipment adopts a modular design: the lid can be lifted, supporting dumping or bottom discharge. Combined with the PTFE wall-scraping device, it can reduce material residue and simplify the cleaning process, significantly shortening the formula iteration cycle.

3. Typical Application Scenarios and Industrial Value

In cosmetic laboratories, Gangben Machinery's 5L Vacuum Emulsifying Homogenizer Mixer has become core equipment: R&D personnel can use it to quickly verify the formula feasibility of different emulsification systems such as oil-in-water (O/W) and water-in-oil (W/O); for fine products such as sunscreen lotions and eye creams, the skin feel and concealing effect can be optimized by adjusting homogenization speed and vacuum degree; the small-batch produced samples can also be directly used for market testing, providing accurate process parameters for subsequent industrial production.
Compared with ordinary emulsification equipment, relying on the combined advantages of "fine emulsification + vacuum defoaming + hygiene and safety", this equipment helps cosmetic enterprises lock in high-quality formulas during the R&D phase and reduce the risk of industrialized production transfer. This is also the core reason why it has become an ideal cream production equipment in fields such as cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
