LITCO’s standard Ointment Mfg. Plant Model consists of the following:

• Wax Phase Vessel (Top/Bottom Agitator)
• Water Phase Vessel (Top/Bottom Agitator)
• Manufacturing Vessel (Top Central Agitator & Bottom Emulsifier)
• Storage/Holding Vessel
• Portable Filtration Unit
• Vacuum System for Online Transfer
• In-line Homogenizer
• Plant Pipeline
• Automated Control Panel

WORKING PRINCIPLE OF OINTMENT MFG. PLANT

The Wax Phase Vessel and Water Phase Vessel are filled with the oil-based wax and water respectively. LITCO offers both Vessels with Bottom or Top stirrer as per requirement. The Online Vacuum Transfer System transfers the oil and water to the main Manufacturing Vessel. The Mfg. Vessel is provided with a mechanical/magnetic stirrer that mixes the product to produce Emulsified solution. If required, the In-line Homogenizer recirculates the product for proper emulsified Ointment formation as per required density. Controlled Environment and Minimal contact are the two most critical criteria for producing Ointment. The jacketed and insulated Mfg. Vessel heats the product for better processing at optimal temperature. Through the Portable Filtration Unit, the newly made Ointment is rinsed off impurities. At the end the Ointment is stored in the Storage Vessel or send to the next processing line for filling.
