OINTMENT/CREAM MANUFACTURING PLANT
Ointment Manufacturing Plants homogenize semi-solid with liquid ingredients to produce ointments, creams, lotions, and gels. For a complete automatic ointment manufacturing plant the three different vessels are interconnected by pipelines & valves. The water phase vessel heats water, the oil phase vessel melts jelly or wax into a liquid state, and the manufacturing vessel accomplishes blending operations for all available ingredients. Bottom and top entry agitators onto the vessel provided for homogeneous blending whilst at the bottom of the manufacturing vessel a high-speed chopper is included for easy high-shear mixing.
To improve production efficiency, Cream Manufacturing Plants have incorporated advanced technology into their productions. Some of this equipment is used in making quality products in the pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics industries among others. The plant is flexible to producers and it has come up with many features that make it ten out of ten.
Adroit Machinery is an excellent manufacturer of ointment manufacturing plants based in India which has several installations globally. It comes along with a PLC system comprising touch screen MMI and SCADA packages that can be offered as optional accessories so that the operator can operate from remote areas also where either a PC or laptop is required for programming changes or troubleshooting at the site if required. As you have a variety of packages at your disposal, so you do not need to look elsewhere for cream, gel, and toothpaste manufacturing plants.
What is an ointment manufacturing plant?
Ointment manufacturing plants are designed for the production of various topical products like creams, lotions, gels, and pastes. These facilities utilize specialized equipment to precisely mix ingredients into a uniform consistency. The final product is then filled into tubes or containers for storage and distribution.

Working Principle of Ointment Manufacturing Plant
- Hydrophilic Ingredient Mixing: First, water-soluble ingredients are weighed and added to the water phase vessel. Water is then introduced, and a propeller stirrer ensures proper mixing. If needed, gentle heat is applied through a jacket to further disperse the ingredients.
- Wax Phase Mixing: In a separate vessel, oily or waxy components are mechanically mixed. Then, heat is applied to melt these ingredients, followed by additional stirring for a uniform mixture.
- Filtration and Transfer: Both the water phase and wax phase mixtures are then filtered to remove impurities. A vacuum system efficiently transfers these filtered liquids to the manufacturing vessel.
- Homogenization: A mixer with high-speed beaters and agitators thoroughly combines the water and oil phases in the manufacturing vessel. This high-shear mixing ensures a homogenous and well-emulsified ointment.
- Storage and Filling: The finished ointment is transferred to a mobile storage vessel, which is then transported to the filling machine. Pre-determined amounts of ointment are filled into empty tubes, and these tubes are sealed to prevent leakage and contamination.
- Cleaning and Preparation: Finally, all the vessels used throughout the process are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized, readying them for the next batch of ingredients.

Properties of the ointment manufacturing plant
- Wax phase has jacketed vessels for the ointment manufacturing plant.
- The manufacturing vessels are also jacketed for heating/cooling of ingredients inside them, and it has a jacketed vessel for water phase.
- The plant has a system of internal vacuum to transport mixtures from one vessel to another vessel.
- The function of a mixer in the ointment manufacturing plant is to achieve a high level of emulsification and homogenization.
- Specially designed with internal filters that filter liquids before transportation from one vessel to another, this is an ointment manufacturing plant.
- Different speeds can be achieved by providing Variable speed drive through propeller stirrer assembly.
- Controlling, monitoring, and operating various processes are done by a control panel system which is the function of the ointment manufacturing plant.
- This is possible due to an illuminated viewport where all processes can be visually observed.
Advantages of ointment manufacturing plant
- Most of the work in an ointment manufacturing plant is done by machines which help to reduce on labor expenses as a result.
- In an ointment manufacturing plant, it is much beneficial because there are control mechanisms for each batch quality.
- A high level of dependability and uniformity characterizes an ointment manufacturing factory.
- As the processes do not stand idle, the rate of production at the ointment manufacturing plant is higher.
- The ointment manufacturing plant can be used to produce many different types of gels as well as creams, pastes and lotions.
Application of ointment manufacturing plant in different industries
- Pharmaceutical Production Industry: For instance, we can manufacture various pharmaceuticals such as antiseptic, anti-allergic, and anti-fungal ointments through the aid of an ointment manufacturing plant.
