Key Requirements for Liquid Detergents
To meet market demands, liquid detergents must exhibit:
- Outstanding Washing Performance: High cleaning efficiency across applications.
- Stable Composition: Resistance to changes in storage conditions (time, temperature, light).
- Controlled Viscosity: Wide range of viscosities for both liquid and gel forms.
- Attractive Appearance: Transparent or pearlescent liquids, gels, or opaque formulations.
Technological Features of Ballestra Liquid Detergent Plants
Ballestra’s LIDET Plants (continuous route) and DELIP Plants (batch route) integrate advanced technologies designed to achieve:
- Viscosity Flexibility: Handles fluids with viscosities up to 5,000–6,000 mPa·s.
- Explosion-Proof Design: Enables the use of alcoholic solvents safely.
- Automated Control Systems: Easy integration with computerized process control systems.
- Durable Materials: High-resistance, corrosion-proof construction using stainless steel and special alloys.
- Efficient Heat Transfer: Superior cooling and heating capabilities.
- Precise Mixing: Ensures homogeneity and micelle stability.
- Quick Changeovers: Simplified cleaning for reduced product switch times and minimal contamination risk.
