Type of production processes – Diferents Options

*** PRODUCTION BY BATCH CHARGES

When we have to face a changing production of several components of various quantities and batch sizes, we have the choice of which method to use.

Production by charges -Batch process-

Example: AUTOMATIC PILOT PLANT

• Built by Fluieco and adapted to customer needs
• Automatic and remote control, with manufacturing recipes

It is recommended in the following cases:

• Many products, some unusual
• Made with many ingredients, many of them in very small quantities
• For product development phase
• Very small productions or sporadic
• Integrity and identification of total production batches

Advantages

• Flexibility of production
• Identification of the lot
• Simplicity

Disadvantages

• Space occupied
• Effluents and waste
• Cleaning process long and difficult
• Difficulty of applying a scale factor

*** CONTINUOUS PRODUCTION

Example: PRODUCTION PLANT BUILT BY FLUIDECO FOR BODY LOTION

• It combines seven ingredients at the same time to get the product

It is recommended in the following cases:

• Well-defined product types and similar to each other
• Single, unique and mass production
• Manufacture of base products. Finishing of the end products
• Intermediate and long production times
• Short-live products or highly reactive

Advantages

• Continuously measures the key parameters of quality
• Production exactly conforms to the demand of the filler
• Reduces the cost of raw materials for the system loads
• Maintains a constant and consistent quality of the product
• Occupying a minimal space in the production area
• JUST IN TIME production
• Closed system. Minimal risk of bacterial contamination
• Maximum ease procedures SIP (sterilization in place) and CIP (clean in place)

*** SEMI-CONTINUOUS PRODUCTION

Example: DEODORANTS PRODUCTION PLANT BUILT BY FLUIDECO

Objectives

• Combine colors and fragrances on a base product for charges
• Minimizing waste produced in the change of recipe
• Cut time stops and changes in the filler
• Reducing the total time of manufacture

Benefits

• Dosage just in front of the filler reduces the raw materials waste to fifth part
• Flexible production by reducing the times of change in recipe
• The production control is integrated into the filler
• Increased production capacity
