Vacuum Emulsifier Selection Center: Compare Models

Vacuum Emulsifier Selection Center: Compare Models

This page compares the pilot builds of the PMK-A hydraulic lifting vacuum emulsifying machine — the 50 L and the 100 L — and then walks through the configurator choices that decide how the unit runs day to day. Instead of restating one product sheet, it puts capacity, motor power, total installed power, tank wall thickness and phase-pot sizing into a single table, then turns each number into a buying decision. If you are sourcing an emulsifying machine for creams, lotions, ointments or other paste-like products, the sections below show where 50 L stops being enough, which options are worth adding at pilot stage, and which six data points get you an accurate quote.

What the PMK-A platform actually gives you

Before you compare numbers, decide whether the machine's operating features match how your team works. Each item below is stated on the product page and each one changes a real maintenance, quality or cleaning task.

  • Hydraulic liftingThe tank raises and lowers hydraulically, which the page describes as supporting safe tank discharge and cleaning — relevant if operators clean between formulations.
  • Vacuum defoamingVacuum operation reduces air bubbles and is stated to improve emulsion quality — relevant if your product is judged on texture or visual uniformity.
  • Homogenization down to 1 μmThe product page states a homogenization particle size down to 1 μm; confirm this against your own droplet-size target at quotation.
  • GMP hygienic constructionThe page states GMP hygienic standards and GMP compliance, with pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food and chemical listed as target industries.
  • Stated applicationsCreams, lotions, ointments and other paste-like products, including handling of viscous materials.
  • Customization supportOEM/ODM and batch manufacturing are stated as supported, with adjustable tank volume and customizable controls.

Model comparison matrix

The two pilot models share the same option set and the same 4/3/3 mm printed wall thickness. What separates them is volume, drive power and phase-pot capacity — so the last column is the one to read first.

Model Main tank effective volume Main motor RS motor HM (homogenizer) motor HL pump Total power Main tank wall thickness Oil phase pot Aqueous phase pot Choose this if…
PMK-50L 50 L 0.75 kW / 0–63 rpm 0.37 kW / 0–63 rpm 2.2 kW 0.75 kW 18 kW 4/3/3 mm 20 L 40 L You are screening formulations and running small trial batches, want the lower 18 kW site load, and need to change options often between projects.
PMK-100L 100 L 1.5 kW / 0–63 rpm 0.55 kW / 0–63 rpm 4 kW 1.1 kW 31 kW 4/3/3 mm 40 L 80 L You need to double the working batch without changing the rest of the configuration, and your electrical supply can carry the 31 kW total.

On a narrow screen, drag the table sideways to see the remaining columns. Every figure above is printed on the PMK-A 50L/100L equipment detail table.

Effective volume vs. total volume

The table lists 50 L and 100 L as effective working volumes. Size your formulation to the working volume, not to the vessel's outer size, and confirm the usable volume at quotation.

Total power is a site question

18 kW and 31 kW are totals across main, RS, homogenizer and pump drives. Ask your electrical engineer whether the supply can take the total before you confirm a model.

Wall thickness printed as three values

The specification is printed as 4/3/3 mm without naming which vessel each figure refers to. Ask the supplier to identify the part behind each number if wall thickness matters to your process.

Two auxiliary pots, not one

Oil and aqueous phases are prepared in separate pots sized 20 L / 40 L on the 50 L build and 40 L / 80 L on the 100 L build. Check that this split matches your formulation ratios.

Scenario to specification: pick your starting configuration

Find the situation closest to your project, then use the specification and options listed with it as the starting point for your enquiry.

Development lab

Formulation screening in a pilot or R&D room

Specification to start from: PMK-50L, 50 L effective volume, 0.75 kW main motor and 2.2 kW homogenizer motor, 18 kW total.

Options to consider: electric heating jacket, manual or semi-automatic button-panel control, casters for moving the unit between benches.

The decision you are making: whether the smallest working volume lets you trial a full batch without committing to production utilities.

Scale-up bridge

A batch that must reflect what production will run

Specification to start from: PMK-100L, 100 L effective volume, 1.5 kW main motor and 4 kW homogenizer motor, 31 kW total.

Options to consider: PLC + touchscreen, steam jacket if plant steam exists, fixed bracket with weighing system and adjustable levelling feet.

The decision you are making: whether doubling the batch now avoids re-validating the recipe on a larger machine later.

Viscous products

Ointments and heavy pastes

Specification to start from: the platform is stated to handle viscous materials and paste-like products; compare homogenizer motors — 2.2 kW on the 50 L and 4 kW on the 100 L.

Options to consider: heating jacket for viscosity control, full external cover plates for cleanliness around sticky fills.

The decision you are making: whether the homogenizer rating and total power suit your product's resistance to mixing, not just its batch size.

Regulated production

Pharmaceutical or cosmetic manufacture

Specification to start from: the page states GMP hygienic standards and GMP compliance, with pharmaceutical and cosmetic listed among target industries.

Options to consider: complete external cover plates, explosion-proof control box and explosion-proof wiring where solvents are present, remote monitoring or networked control for records.

The decision you are making: which control and guarding level your quality system requires — confirm any documentation you need in writing before ordering.

Export projects

Sites with a non-standard supply

Specification to start from: base configuration AC 380V/50Hz three-phase five-wire, with 60 Hz and other voltages offered as options.

Options to consider: 480V/208V 60Hz or 415V 50Hz supply, plus the wiring configuration — TN-S 3-phase 4-wire or TN-C-S 3-phase 5-wire.

The decision you are making: fixing the supply specification before the machine is built, rather than adapting it on site.

Private label

OEM/ODM production runs

Specification to start from: the page states OEM/ODM and batch manufacturing are supported, with adjustable tank volume and customizable controls.

Options to consider: the control and base combinations that best match your filling and record-keeping routine.

The decision you are making: which parts of the build you standardize across a range of client formulations, and which you keep flexible.

Compliance and application fit

Two questions decide whether this platform belongs in your plant: what the build is stated to comply with, and how the phase preparation is arranged.

  • GMP hygienic standardsThe product page states GMP hygienic standards and GMP compliance. If your market requires certificates or specific documentation, request them in writing with your enquiry.
  • Stated target industriesPharmaceutical, cosmetic, food and chemical — four sectors listed directly on the product page.
  • Stated product formsCreams, lotions, ointments and other paste-like products, including the handling of viscous materials.
  • Two-phase preparationThe 50 L build is listed with a 20 L oil-phase pot and a 40 L aqueous-phase pot; the 100 L build with 40 L and 80 L. Those pots are where the two phases are prepared and heated separately before emulsification.
  • What to confirm at quotationWhether the pot volumes match your formulation ratios, and whether the heating method you choose covers both the main tank and the auxiliary pots.

Send these six data points for an accurate quote

Pricing on this machine is configuration-based — the enquiry flow on the product page works through options and a quantity selector rather than a fixed price. If your first message includes the six points below, the reply can be a real quotation instead of a follow-up question.

  • 1. Product typeWhat you are making — cream, lotion, ointment, gel or another paste-like product.
  • 2. ViscosityThe working viscosity range, since the platform is stated to handle viscous materials.
  • 3. Batch sizeLitres per batch, so the 50 L or 100 L effective volume can be matched — or a larger build quoted separately.
  • 4. SupplySite voltage, frequency and phase, plus the wiring arrangement available.
  • 5. SteamWhether plant steam exists, which decides between a steam or electric heating jacket.
  • 6. Control preferenceManual, button-panel, PLC + touchscreen, explosion-proof, remote monitoring or networked control.
