Do you Want to Increase Efficiency When Pumping Shampoo?

Compact and powerful shampoo pump for the process industry

The price of production space has increased significantly in recent years. Therefore, most companies aim to get the most out of the available space and thus increase production efficiency. But where can production space be saved, and how can efficiency be improved?

These questions were also asked by an Italian skincare products manufacturer who produces soaps and shampoos, among other things. NETZSCH Pumps & Systems, the global specialist for handling complex media, had the answers. We show you how to save production space and become more efficient by replacing your current shampoo pump.

Process industry: Benefit by reducing the production area

An Italian care products manufacturer produces soaps and shampoos, among other things. So far, they have been using progressing cavity pumps for this application, which require significantly more space than other technologies. In the context of optimising performance, space is increasingly recognised as a valuable resource and represents a cost factor. By reducing the required space, companies can cut rental costs, energy costs and operating costs. The less space required, the more efficiently resources can be used. In addition, saving space increases your flexibility. A reduced production area allows you to react flexibly to changing market conditions. When demand drops, you can quickly adjust production without having large, unused spaces. This increases agility and competitiveness. In addition, a reduction in production space can lead to increased efficiency. Companies can produce the same amount or even more in smaller spaces by optimising production processes and using new technologies.

Challenges of pumping shampoo in the process industry

There are different challenges to consider when pumping shampoo. The raw materials for the shampoos must be pumped from tanks to the production lines at two bar with a flow rate of between one and six cubic metres. However, shampoos tend to form foam when pumped. While foam is desirable when showering or washing hair, it should be avoided in production. This can affect the pump's functionality by accumulating in the conductors and reducing the flow rate. It can also lead to an increased wear rate of the pump. In addition, shampoos contain various chemical components such as surfactants, fragrances and preservatives. These can be corrosive or damage the seals and other parts of the pump. Sometimes, this leads to leaks or shortens the life of the pump. These challenges posed no problems for the progressing cavity pump used at the Italian care products manufacturer. However, the existing shampoo pumps required so much space that the installation, maintenance, and cleaning measures needed to be simplified. That's why the company approached NETZSCH with their requirements.

With the TORNADO® T.Sano® with smooth surface, you can pump even the most demanding media in compliance with the strictest hygiene regulations.

Shampoo pump reduces space requirements and increases efficiency

Together with the care product manufacturer, the experts from NETZSCH found the optimal solution for saving space and, at the same time, increasing efficiency when pumping shampoo. A TORNADO® T.Sano® all metal rotary lobe pump provided the remedy. It is characterised by significantly less installation space than comparable pumps and a belt drive that both drives the lobe rotors and ensures synchronisation. Thanks to this dual function, there is no need for an additional complex gearbox. In addition, the motor can be placed directly above the pumping chamber, which results in a shallow installation depth for you. In addition, the belt drive runs very quietly, which reduces wear. Since the drive is entirely oil-free, you have no maintenance or servicing to do. This saves you time and money.

The belt drive can be loosened and replaced in a few easy steps if necessary. This reduces your maintenance effort and downtimes to a minimum. The choice of materials also contributes to this: The T.Sano® only uses stainless steel or other special steels for the housing and rotary lobe. The resistant materials thus ensure a long service life and guarantee the long-term availability of the shampoo pump. The absence of oil and stainless steel construction also ensures absolute hygiene in manufacturing. For residue-free cleaning of the pump, you can connect the proven CIP process (Cleaning-In-Place) and the SIP process (Sterilisation-In-Place). This allows the system to be cleaned or sterilised in a circular or continuous process without prior disassembly.

By replacing the existing pump, the Italian skincare product manufacturer was able to significantly reduce the needed space and increase the efficiency of its production. What are you waiting for?
