The working principle of an ointment manufacturing plant is like first of all the hydrophilic ingredients (hydrophilic ingredients are those ingredients that are freely soluble in water) which are required for the manufacturing of a particular ointment. These ingredients

are filled into the water phase vessel. And water is added to it. The mechanical way of mixing is started, so the propeller stirrer is operated and the proper mixing is done. If there is a problem with further mixing, then further mixing is done by applying heat. This heat should not be provided directly; it should be provided in a jacketed way.

Now the second stage of mixing starts which is wax phase mixing, the wax phase mixing is done in the wax phase vessel. In the wax phase mixing first the wax type or oily type ingredients is mixed in a mechanical way. After mechanical way then it is heated so the wax or oil type ingredient is melted this way. Then for further mixing these ingredients are stirred well with a mechanical stirrer.

Now the liquid from both the vessels (Water Phase Vessel and Wax Phase Vessel) is filtered with a proper filter. And this filtered liquid phase is transferred to the manufacturing vessel by internal vacuum setup.

In the manufacturing vessel, both the liquids are thoroughly mixed. This mixing is done mechanically and we use a planetary mixer to mix these liquids until and unless a homogeneous mixture is obtained. The mixing method of planetary mixer is that it has high-speed beaters and agitators. A high-speed beater and agitator cause uniform distribution of particles so as a result a high level of homogenization and emulsification is obtained. After complete mixing in this section now this mixture is transferred to another vessel called a storage vessel.

The storage vessel is transportable and can move from one place to another by its wheel. Now this storage vessel is moved to a filling machine.

The operational method of filling the machine is that first the empty tubes (in which the ointment will be filled) are loaded in the filling machine and the process of filling is started. Now the quantity of ointment which is to fill in the tube is predetermined and is adjustable by tube filling machine. As the tubes are filled with ointment or cream. They are seal packed

to prevent leakage and remain tamper-proof in a series of sealing and packing machines.

Meanwhile, all the vessels which were used in the manufacturing, mixing, and filling process are washed thoroughly and is made ready for the next batch of ingredients. This is the overall working principle of an ointment manufacturing plant.

The ointment manufacturing plant has a working capacity of 200-500 kg/batch.

There are different parts of the Ointment Manufacturing Plant. Which play a key role in the manufacturing process of Ointment and creams.

Water phase vessel

Water phase vessel is a first step in the ointment manufacturing plant. In this phase, the water-soluble ingredients are dissolved in water. And the mixing is done mechanically by a stirrer. For further heating is applied to mix.

Wax heating vessel

Wax heating vessel is the second step in ointment manufacturing plant in this stage the oil and wax type of ingredient is dissolved and melted by heating and mechanical way of stirrer mixer.
