Scale-up process in the cosmetic industry

One of the main topics we found in the cosmetic industry is the real scalability from the laboratory to the production site. Generally, the R&D teams only consider the new developments in a chemical way, dismissing the lack of the existing technology in industrial machinery. Despite some equipment, look similar in both scale, the performance and quality parameters decrease in bigger batches. To scale up not only power should be taken in consideration. Other factors as the products’ physicochemical characteristics, process equipment’s internal geometry, among others have a big impact to gain the desired results. More than 140 years of experience giving solutions to the industry, NETZSCH technology can guarantee scalability and process parameterization for batches between 5 to 10000 litres.
