Foundation lineF-1
Vacuum emulsifying homogenizer
Tears oil droplets to sub-micron size so the water-in-silicone emulsion never splits on the shelf, and pulls vacuum so air never froths or oxidizes the iron-oxide shades.
| Batch size | 100–500 L |
| Homogenizer power | 5.5–11 kW high-shear stator/rotor |
| Shear speed | 3,000+ RPM (process: 3,200 RPM) |
| Anchor / scraper | Counter-rotating Teflon scrapers, 45 RPM in process, 30 RPM cool-down |
| Vacuum | −0.09 MPa rated (process: −0.08 MPa) |
| Process hold | 20 min at 75°C under deep vacuum |
| Discharge | Cool to 30°C, 100 ml QC pull, pump to airtight stainless totes |
Foundation lineF-2
Dual-jacketed phase vessels
Oil/silicone phase and aqueous phase are heated separately to the exact same temperature before being drawn into the homogenizer.
| Heating | Steam/oil jacket to 75–80°C |
| Cooling | Chilled-water jacket to set emulsion |
| Phase A | Isododecane + D5 + TMS resin, 400 → 1,500 RPM pigment slurry, 30 min |
| Phase B | DI water + butylene glycol + NaCl stabilizer at 75°C |
Foundation lineF-3
Pneumatic piston filler
Thick foundation won't flow by gravity — air-driven pistons dose an exact 30 ml every time.
| Type | Semi-automatic volumetric rotary-valve piston |
| Nozzles | Anti-drip |
| Fill | 30 ml into frosted glass pump bottles |
Perfume lineP-1
ATEX / Class I Div 1 blending tanks
High-proof alcohol vapour is explosive. Every motor and wire is spark-free — cast-iron housed or air-driven.
| Certification | ATEX / Class I Division 1 |
| Drive | Pneumatic (air motors), no open electrics |
| Material | 316L stainless, mirror-polished interior |
| Compounding | SDA 40-B at 200 RPM, oils added slowly, 45 min |
| Maceration | Sealed dark tanks, 15°C, 3–6 weeks |
Perfume lineP-2
Sub-zero chilling & 0.22-micron filtration
Freezes out plant waxes and insolubles so Sue Noir and Sue Rouge stay crystal clear even in a cold winter delivery truck.
| Chilling | Glycol-refrigerated jacketed tank, −4°C to 0°C (process: −2°C) |
| Press | Plate-and-frame filter press |
| Filter rating | 0.22 micron |
| Output | Brilliant clear fluid direct to filling |
Perfume lineP-3
Vacuum gravity filler + crimp line
Fills to exact neck height regardless of glass variation, then seals the spray collar permanently.
| Fill head | 4-nozzle vacuum gravity |
| Crimper | Pneumatic collet, ~400 kg localized force |
| Seal | Aluminium spray collar |
