SOAP MANUFACTURING PROCESS AND
TECHNOLOGIES INVOLVED
The soap manufacturing process is the combination of fats and a strong
alkaline substance resulting in a chemical process called saponification.
Saponification involves the splitting of a fat into fatty acids and glycerin.
The soap manufacturing process can be separated into two main groups:
1. The kettle process
2. The continuous process
The Kettle
Process
1. BOILING 2. SALTING
Fats and alkali are melted in a kettle, which is a The soap and glycerin must now be separated. The
steel tank that can stand three stories high and mixture is treated with salt, causing the soap to
hold several thousand pounds of material. rise to the top and the glycerin to settle down.
3. STRONG CHANGE 4. PITCHING
To remove the small amounts of fat that have The soap in the kettle is boiled again with added

Continuous 1. Splitting
The first step of the continuous process splits natural
Process fat into fatty acids and glycerin. The equipment used is
a vertical stainless steel column called a hydrolizer.
2 .Mixing
The purified fatty acids are next mixed with a
precise amount of alkali to form soap.
3. Cooling and finishing
The soap then poured into molds and allowed to harden
into a large slab. The slab is cut into smaller pieces of bar
size, which are then stamped and wrapped.
SIGMA MIXER
Sigma mixer is a latest
technology kneader/mixer,
suitable for kneading and mixing
of viscous fluids and semisolids
of medium and high-density
ingredients.
PRICED at Rs. 1.5L
DUPLEX VACUUM
PLODDER
A soap-making machine that is used
to extrude the final soap.
Come with built in vacuum pump
Die is very easy to change that
makes it
Possible to produce different
shapes and sizes of toilet soaps
PRICED at Rs. 2.5L
SOAP CUTTING
MACHINES
The soap bars that come from
the plodder enter the cutter and
come into contact with an
incremental encoder, which
sends a signal to the cutting
system.
PRICED at Rs. 1.5L
SPRAY DRYING
DETERGENT Advancements in technology have enabled
the soap and detergent manufacturers to
MAKING reduce the air inside the granules during
spray drying to obtain higher densities.
PROCESS
AGGLOMERATION
Detergents are The technique involves machines, such as a
manufactured liquid binder, rolling or shear mixing that
causes the ingredients to collide and adhere
using a synthetic surfactant
to each other, producing larger particles.
in place of the metal fatty
acid salts that are used in
soaps. DRY MIXING
Powder detergents are Dry mixing is a detergent powder
manufactured using various manufacturing technique, which is used to
processes :- blend dry raw materials. It involve the
addition of small quantities of a liquid.

ROTARY SEALING MACHINE
Rotary sealing machines are used for packaging
applications in different industries and products.
The latest technology rotary sealing machines can be
used to deliver big production output in a small package.
These machines are designed with a 2-station rotating
spindle to carry the containers into sealing position at
rates at up to 25 cycles per minute, delivering an output
of 1500 pieces per hour in a single head configuration.
These machines are ideal for medium to high production
