Skids for Preparation of Hair Dye
Since the early twentieth century, the production of cosmetics has been controlled by a handful of MNC’s. The global cosmetic industry is broken down into six main categories; Skincare being the largest one out of them all which accounted for over 32% of the global revenue, estimated at USD 2.73 billion in 2013 and growing at a CAGR of 9.8% from 2014 to 2020. Whereas Hair care was the second largest product segment and accounted for around 25% market share in terms of revenue in 2013 which is also expected a significant growth of estimated CAGR of 9.6% from 2014 to 2020.

Customer
European manufacturer of hair care products.
Description
Three 700 L skids for preparation of hair dyes equipped with heating and cooling jackets and vacuum pumps.
Each agitation system consists of a vertical elliptic type agitator with scrapers that avoids installing counter-rotating agitators but ensures a similar level of mixing, and a tank bottom mixer with recirculation that can also transfer the final product to the filling machine. They skids are provided with a hydraulic lid lifting system.
The control system consists of a central control cabinet that houses the frequency inverters, the central PLC and industrial PC with SCADA and each skid is also provided with an operator panel located in a control box, supported by an arm.
Application
The preparation starts by reading a bar code that identifies each ingredient added for the preparation of the final product.
Some of the ingredients are added manually through the loading port, for example, the water-soluble bags and the dye. The remaining ingredients are added automatically via a manifold of pneumatically actuated valves: perfume, glycol, wax, water, ammonia and ethanolamine (ethanolamine is now used in some recipes and finally it will replace ammonia).
