Recommended Mixing Machines for Salt-Based Body Scrubs
Question
I am looking for a recommendation for a machine suitable for producing a body scrub. The product will be a salt-based scrub. Could you please suggest which type of mixer would be best for this type of formulation to ensure good dispersion of oils and actives while maintaining the integrity and texture of the salt crystals?
Answer
For producing a salt-based body scrub, which primarily consists of solid particles (salt) mixed with oils or other liquids, the Drum Mixer series is highly recommended. These machines are specifically designed for mixing powdered raw materials and ensuring excellent dispersion and compatibility of the ingredients.
Recommended Machines:
Drum Mixer Series
This type of mixer uses a swirling motion to blend materials, making it ideal for salt scrubs where you want to maintain the integrity of the salt crystals while ensuring they are evenly coated with oils or active ingredients.- Drum Mixer 30 liters: Suitable for a mixing size of approximately 15 liters.
- Drum Mixer 60 liters: Suitable for a mixing size of approximately 30 liters.
- Drum Mixer 90 liters: Suitable for a mixing size of approximately 50 liters.
- Drum Mixer 180 liters: Suitable for a mixing size of approximately 100 liters.
Key Features:
- Made of 304 Stainless Steel, meeting GMP standards.
- Provides good dispersion and compatibility.
- Comes with a 1-year warranty and lifetime maintenance service.
Make-up Powder Mixer (Alternative for high-speed blending)
If your scrub formula requires high-speed blending of powders and oils (for example, if you are incorporating very fine pigments or specialized powders), the Make-up powder mixer 30L or 90L could be considered. However, for a standard salt scrub, the Drum Mixer is usually the more appropriate and cost-effective choice.
Recommendation:
We recommend visiting the company to see a demonstration of the machines in action before purchasing to ensure the machine fits your specific formula's texture and requirements.
