Integrated Hygienic Production Line for Premium Face Creams & Cosmetic Emulsions
LENO TANK provides a complete, GMP-compliant equipment solution for the industrial-scale manufacturing of high-quality face creams, lotions, and serums. Our systems are engineered to meet the stringent requirements of cosmetic science—producing stable, finely-textured emulsions with precise ingredient incorporation, exceptional batch-to-batch consistency, and uncompromising microbiological control.
Core Production Stages & LENO TANK Equipment Integration:
| Production Stage | Critical Process Requirement | Recommended LENO TANK Equipment | Key Value & Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Oil & Water Phase Preparation | Heating and holding oil-soluble (e.g., butters, waxes) and water-soluble (e.g., glycerin, extracts) ingredients in separate vessels. | Jacketed Mixing & Preparation Tanks | Stainless steel, jacketed tanks provide precise temperature control for melting and hydrating ingredients. Sanitary agitators ensure uniform heating and prevent hot spots. |
| 2. Emulsification & Homogenization | Combining phases under controlled shear to create a uniform, stable emulsion with a fine, sub-micron droplet size. | High Shear Mixers, High Pressure Homogenizers | High Shear Mixers for primary coarse emulsification. High Pressure Homogenizers are critical for final product quality, providing intense shear to reduce droplet size below 1-10 microns, ensuring long-term stability, luxurious texture, and enhanced active delivery. |
| 3. Cooling & Vacuum Deaeration | Cooling the emulsion while mixing, and removing entrained air to prevent oxidation and ensure a smooth, dense texture. | Vacuum Emulsification Tanks | Jacketed tanks with vacuum capability cool the batch uniformly while removing air bubbles in one step. This prevents product degradation, ensures a flawless finish, and improves filling accuracy. |
| 4. Active & Sensitive Ingredient Addition | Incorporating heat-sensitive actives (vitamins, peptides, probiotics) or fragrances into the cooled base without degrading them. | Powder Induction Systems, Portable Mixing Carts | Powder Induction Pumps enable dust-free, sterile addition of powdered actives. Portable Mixing Carts allow for gentle, low-shear incorporation of pre-mixed sensitive liquids in a contained manner. |
| 5. Storage & Intermediate Holding | Temporarily storing the finished emulsion before filling, maintaining gentle agitation to prevent separation. | Sanitary Storage & Buffer Tanks | Polished, insulated tanks with slow-speed agitators keep the product homogeneous and at a controlled temperature, ensuring quality before packaging. |
| 6. Transfer & Filling | Hygienically transferring the final product to filling machines without contamination or air inclusion. | Sanitary Diaphragm or Lobe Pumps, Mobile CIP Carts | Sanitary Positive Displacement Pumps provide gentle, low-shear transfer to protect emulsion structure. Mobile CIP Carts ensure rapid and validated cleaning of all transfer lines and fillers between batches or product changes. |
Why Choose LENO TANK’s Cosmetic Production Solution?
Pharmaceutical-Grade Hygiene: All product-contact surfaces are AISI 316L Stainless Steel, electropolished to a mirror finish (Ra < 0.8 µm). Designs support full CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilize-in-Place) processes, critical for preservative-free or low-preservative formulations.
Precision Process Control: From PLC-controlled temperature ramps in preparation tanks to precise pressure control in homogenizers, our systems ensure every critical parameter is repeatable and documented, guaranteeing identical product quality across all batches.
Scalability from Lab to Market: We offer process-matched scale-up from small R&D homogenizers and mixers to full production lines. This guarantees your lab-developed texture, stability, and efficacy can be faithfully reproduced at commercial scale.
Protection of Product Integrity: Our technology is selected to minimize shear stress on sensitive polymers, prevent aeration, and avoid metal contamination, protecting the stability, aesthetic, and functional claims of your premium formulations.
