Precision Blending in Sanitary Liquid Production: Best Practices

In the manufacturing of personal care products, precise control over the addition of perfumes, dyes, and active ingredients is critical for product consistency and quality. The Steriflow/Equilibar FD Series back pressure regulator (BPR) offers an advanced solution for liquid product blending and dosing, ensuring accuracy and stability in the process.

Challenges in Liquid Product Blending

• Precise Ingredient Injection – Maintaining exact concentrations of perfumes, dyes, and actives in the product stream.
• Low Viscosity Challenges – Many personal care formulations involve low viscosity fluids, where positive displacement pumps may struggle with consistency.
• Header Pressure Fluctuations – Variations in downstream pressure can disrupt upstream flow control, leading to inconsistent blending.

How the Steriflow/Equilibar FD Series Improves Liquid Blending

• Ultra-Precise Pressure Control – The FD Series BPR features a multiple-orifice design, enabling stable pressure regulation even at extremely low flow rates.
• Improved Pump Performance – Helps positive displacement pumps maintain consistent dosing, particularly for low viscosity applications.
• Minimizes Pressure Variations – Acts as a buffer against header pressure fluctuations, ensuring stable ingredient mixing.

Why Choose Steriflow/Equilibar for Product Blending?

• Enhanced Accuracy – Delivers exact dosing, critical for fragrances, colorants, and actives.
• Process Stability – Isolates upstream flow control from downstream disturbances.
• Versatile & Reliable – Performs across a wide range of flow rates and fluid types.
