Committed To Quality, Committed To You
We all know where people are using detergent powder, but do you know how interesting the process of manufacturing detergent powder is? Please see the whole manufacturing process of detergent powder graphically. Here you can see what machine is used in which process, but the detergent powder is dry material, so why do we use a self-cleaning filter? Discover how a self-cleaning filter for detergent powder screening plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality and efficiency of the production process.
In the making of detergent powder lot many ingredients are used which are in the form of powder as well as liquid also such as Sodium tripolyphosphate(STP), Sodium sulfate, Soap noodles, Zeolite, Linear alkylbenzene sulphonic acid (LAS), Caustic soda solution, Coconut diethanolamine or a fatty alcohol ethoxylate, fluorescer, perfume etc.
All these materials are used per the requirement to manufacture the detergent powder. To maintain the quality of the product, first sieve the material with a vibro sifter to get the appropriate size and the best quality, free from all kinds of contamination. Liquid products like linear alkyl benzene sulphonic acid, Fluorescer, fatty alcohol ethoxylated, or perfume are passed through Strainers to remove any kind of impurities in it. Now here filters come into the picture. Read below the differences between a strainer and a filter.
Strainers and filters are both products that have a lot many common things like its designed to eliminate the suspended solids particles from liquid material. The main reason behind using a strainer or filter is to remove impurities from the liquid and get a contamination-free product.
The main difference between a strainer and a filter Is the size, how big or small is your particle. Based on that people are using strainer or filter. Strainers remove particles that are bigger than (≥) 40 μ microns while filters can be used to remove suspended solids that are smaller than 40 μ.
In another term, you can consider that a strainer is used to remove the suspended solids particles from the liquid which is easily detectable with the naked eye but if the particles are barely visible in the liquid you need to use a filter to remove it.
In the detergent manufacturing process as I described above lot many ingredients are used and that few are in the liquid form, in all those ingredients one of the ingredients is perfume. To eliminate all kinds of chemical smells from the powder as well as from your clothes, detergent manufacturers add perfume.
Same as other material perfume is also imported from the outside vendor and dumped into the tank directly. But before adding to the mixture it must pass through a quality check because no one is compromising their quality, to deliver a quality product we must check all the raw materials before the process. All powder and granules are sieved with a vibro sifter and then go for further process same as liquid material is filtered with a vibro separator as well as a strainer.
For all those liquid materials we can use a Self-cleaning filter in place of a strainer to improve the product quality.
There is not one but multiple reasons why you choose Self-cleaning filters which are given below.
First, I already described above that if your particle size is less than 40 μ so strainer can’t catch it, so you must use the self-cleaning filter.
The self-cleaning filter comes with an auto-clean system that cleans the filter’s inside periphery continuously while the strainer can’t do that, and we need to clean it manually.
With a Self-cleaning filter, you can get continuous optimum filtration because it cleans itself and maintains Delta P (ΔP) level which is not possible with a strainer. The strainer gets chocked after passing some amount of material and because of that, we can’t get optimum filtration.
self-cleaning filter is loaded with a filter control system that manages the whole filter system like cylinder strokes, actuator valve, stroke speed, etc.
It allows a complete automation system that manages the whole filter without any interruption without any manpower which is not possible with a strainer. It removes all kinds of impurities like corrosion particles, contamination, screw or bolt, and lot many things.
So now I hope you understand how a self-cleaning filter is useful in manufacturing detergent powder. To know more you can contact our Sivtek expert. We also help in sieving raw material or checking screening detergent powder. To get quality detergent powder Galaxy Sivtek is always here to get the best quality detergent powder.
