2-Stage vs 1 Stage Grease Manufacture
Small batches of grease are normally made in a single vessel. However, big batches are quite often made using a two-stage process where saponification (making the soap thickener in oil)
A Better Way to Put Powders into a Process Vessel
Surprisingly large and advanced manufactures in the chemical industry still physically empty bags of powders into process vessels via the manway. This can create a dust cloud that either contaminates
Fitting a Grease Plant into a Light Industrial Unit
One of the biggest problems with putting a grease plant into a light industrial unit is the amount of headroom available. Historically, run major companies fitted grease manufacturing plants in
Which Grease Should You Manufacture First?
Contrary to intuition, you need simpler and thus cheaper equipment to manufacture the more expensive complex greases, than cheaper mono-soap greases. Calcium grease, the cheapest type, foams badly during saponification
