1. What Equipment You Need
If you look at a factory of a alcohol hand sanitizer manufacturer, you’d see a complete line of the following equipment:
Mixing equipment, complete with a homogenizer, disperser, mixer, motors, stainless steel pipes, filters and valves,
filling and capping machines, and
labeling equipment.
The most important equipment is the alcohol hand sanitizer homogenizer mixer tank. This machine is designed to mix ingredients which should result in consistent batches of alcohol gels or liquid alcohol hand sanitizer.
2. What Are the Ingredients?
To make an effective alcohol hand sanitizer for killing Coronavirus, the CDC, FDA and WHO recommends it to contain 70% or higher alcohol.
Alcohol is the active ingredient of the alcohol hand sanitizer. It may be Ethyl or Isopropyl at 70 to 95% concentration.
Other important ingredients may include the following:
Distilled water – acts as the solvent
Carbomer – thickening agent that provides gel-like consistency. (in hand foams, these are in low amounts to render a lower viscous product)
Glycerol
Hydrogen peroxide
Denaturants or Bitter-tasting compound
Additional ingredients:
Fragrance (not included in non-scented hand sanitizers)
Coloring (not included in clear hand sanitizers)
Additional antiseptics like chlorhexidine
Emollients & gelling ingredient
Additional foaming agents
Why You Need a High Quality Alcohol Gel Hand Sanitizer Mixer?
There are a lot of health requirements and international standards which should be met to make a marketable and commercially-successful alcohol hand sanitizer. Health authorities are very strict with certificates and specifications with the alcohol hand sanitizer manufacturing.
To Comply With Health Authority Standards for Faster Export, Import and Distribution
This is amplified by the fact that alcohol-based hand sanitizers are meant to inactivate the Coronavirus, which makes it in high demand right now. That’s why manufacturers and dealers are also going through mileages of paperworks and custom clearance for shipping to importing hand sanitizers.
And that’s also why making top-quality hand sanitizer with a high quality homogenizer mixer tank is also vital to shorten the process of manufacturing. This also ensures that your product can immediately get approved with health and safety requirements.

What is a Alcohol Hand Sanitizer Homogenizer Mixer tank?
One of the things you will find intriguing about Homogenizer mixer tank is its remarkable design – an engineer’s brainchild and a machinist’s delight.
A homogenizer mixer tank consists of two or three simultaneously driven independent shafts with varying lengths working in tandem. It is different from the regular agitators that only have one anchor stirrer. This type of equipment is highly recommended for reducing processing steps and additional equipment acquisition.
Considerations in Buying Hand Sanitizer Homogenizer Mixers Tank
Some of the essential heads-up you need to consider in selecting a agitator for your hand sanitizing product are:
Can it work at the speed and shear rate the product needs to produce its optimum rheological features?
Can it effectively carry out low-shear for high viscosity ingredients? Can it blend products at high shear to form grinds?
What is the rotor size, speed and horsepower needed to reasonably carry out pre-mixing at high-shear rates?
Is a Homogenizer Mixer Tank Right for a Alcohol Hand Sanitizer Industry?
Homogenizer Mixer Tank combines all the features you need to make a consistent-quality alcohol hand sanitizer gel or liquid. It can effectively mix powders, liquids and oils to make a perfect emulsion with better flow, optimum shear and effective heat transfer.
How to Test Your Ingredients?
In order to know if you picked the right homogenizer mixer tank, one of the following can be done:
The manufacturer will have to test your material samples at their in-house testing facility.
You can also go to the manufacturer’s laboratory to verify results.
Typically, the manufacturer will use a prototype or a lab mixer which is a representation of the homogenizer mixer tank. Under mixer simulation, you and the manufacturer can be able to investigate if the mixer adapts to your materials’ requirements.
Furthermore, both sides can be able to determine the proper specifications of the mixer; Does it need two or three agitators? Does it need hydraulics? Is vacuum needed?
Knowing its Capabilities
Homogenizer mixer trank have the following capabilities:
operate two or three different agitators in a variety of configurations,
an electronic speed drive allows the independent operation of the agitators at varying speeds to mix, emulsify and homogenize the product.
Specifying the Right homogenizer mixer tank for Alcohol Hand Sanitizer
To know which type of homogenizer mixer tank is the best for your application, you should be able to answer the following first.
1. Type of Product for Homogenizer Mixer tank
If you are processing high viscosity products with viscosities over 750,000 cps, you need a homogenizer mixer tank with vacuum system . It can handle large batches of not only hand sanitizers, but also different materials for the chemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food and beverage industries.
2. What is your throughput per day?
Knowing your desired throughput a day gives you an idea what homogenizer mixer tank capacity you should buy and how many equipment you need for your manufacturing plant.
For example, demand calls for 320,000 to 20,000 bottles of 300 mL hand sanitizer per day. Your plant would operate for 16 hours a day (2 shifts, 8 hours per shift).
Mixing time + residence time for silicone sealant for this scenario is 10 min/batch.
Sizing your mixer capacity:
No. of bottles per hour = 320,000 bottles per hour/16hrs = 20,000 bottles/hr
Volume per hour = 20,000 bottles/hr x 0.3L/bottle = 6,000 L/hr = 100 L/min
Volume per batch = 100 L/min x 10 min/batch = 1,000 L/batch
Choosing a mixer:
One (1) – 1000 L homogenizer mixer tank or,
Two (2) – 500 L homogenizer tank
There are many factors to weigh-in such as the efficiency of each machine, allowance for downtimes, duration of mixing and material transport and supply.
The example presented above is for you to have a tip on how you can size your machine after weighing all the factors. You may have a meeting with your financial team and engineer on how you can account for other factors
3. Do you need a custom-made mixer to meet demands?
There are instances that you would need a custom-made hand sanitizer mixer to suit your needs. We have been dealing with multiple customization for customers for a long time.
There are cases that a customer has other plans for the mixer’s control panel components so we did not install one. Other times, customers only want a heating phase tank without the water phase. We also get a lot of requests for size and shape customization.
If you need special considerations for your Homogenizer mixer tank, we can do this for you.
4. Are you prepared for the upfront investment?
Homogenizer mixer tank are anywhere between 3-6 figures internationally speaking. When you deal with a China manufacturer, you can expect a lower upfront investment without sacrificing the quality of the mixer. To give you a tip, this can be anywhere between 3-5 figures.
