Batch at the limit?!

Current situation of the process

capacity usage at the maximum optimized processes standardized formulations limited capacities concentration of production sites

Current economic situation

potential of increasing the

productivity is limited cost pressure strong competition limited capacities

and how can we assist?

Customer benefitscontinuous vs. batch

throughput increased by 25 % cleaning time optimised identical footprint maintenance efforts minimised time for maintenance reduced by 15%

Our solution:

continuous production

of toothpaste

The process

Ingredients

Dosing

without pre-mixing directly from stock to

plant

fully automated exact control perfect, constant

quality

The process

Wetting

De-aeration

Dispersing

revolutionary

powder-wetting less agglomeration

perfect particle size

perfect density

The process

Additives

Control

in every phase of

production possible highest flexibility

full automation completely

reproducible

The process

Quality con-

trol

in-line measuring of

viscosity, particle size,

density, flow rate,

pH-value, pressure and

temperature On-line quality control

Storage and

filling:

The process

less storage before

filling necessary

Continuous production meets your requirements

leading in technology higher output at lower costs

together with you we want to combine products processes technology and automation

to be one step ahead!
