Areas of application
Manufacturers of cosmetics and body care products or plant construction companies will find the right pumps and systems with us.
Our products can be used for conveying and dosing,
as well as processing. Batch, continuous and mixed processes
(e.g., Master Batch Finishing) are all taken into consideration.
| Typical jobs for LEWA systems | Process examples |
|---|---|
| Conveying | Rheologically demanding fluids (e.g., surfactants), but also simple transfer operations |
| Metering | Addition of fragrance and coloring agents, etc. |
| Mixing/dispersing/homogenizing | Proportional mixing of base and active materials, production of emulsions and formulation of end products |
| Filling | Precision filling into containers |
| Temperature control | Optimized method for continuous processes (e.g., use of heat recovery concepts) |
This means our pumps and systems can be used in manufacturing processes for the following products:
| Typical substances that we convey, meter and process | Examples of end products |
|---|---|
| Solvents (Aqua), surfactant | Skin cleansers |
| Lipid components, conditioners | Skin care products |
| Titanium oxide | Teeth and mouth care products |
