Continuous Process (LIDET)

for Liquid Detergent Production

Continuous Process (LIDET)

The LIDET Continuous Process ensures efficient and stable production of liquid detergents through in-line mixing and precise process control. 

Designed for high production capacity and streamlined operations, this system employs advanced mixing technology to maintain product consistency and quality.

Working Principle

  • In-line Mixing:
    Components are intimately mixed inside a forced loop, where freshly added components are dispersed into a recirculating product stream at a higher rate than the input flow.
  • Multi-Stage Pump & High-Shear Mixer:
    These technologies ensure very efficient and constant mixing while maintaining proper homogenization.

  • Temperature Control:
    Achieved using a dedicated heat exchanger in the mixing loop.
  • pH Monitoring & Correction:
    In-line pH-meter ensures automatic and real-time pH adjustment to match product specifications.
  • Viscosity Control:
    Continuous viscosity monitoring is facilitated by an in-line viscometer, connected to a dosing system for rheology-modifying agents.
