Detergent Production

The production of compact, state-of-the-art detergents presents a true challenge to process technology. The homogeneous composition of the detergent requires accurate feeding, mixing and extruding. Only an integrated high-tech processing solution that leaves no room for deviation is capable of achieving such a task.

The process is similar to that of a pasta machine. The master batch is prepared from solid and liquid “components” after the accurate feeding of predetermined “formula” ingredients. This is pressed through a strainer plate at high pressure. This produces noodle-like fibres which are then cut off by rotating knives, and formed, dried and strained. With the help of further ingredients they are then processed to form highly compact detergents with remarkable throughput rates of 15 to 20 t/h.
