7,000 litres, 5,000 litres or 10,000 litres – the sizes of our plants provide a good insight into the production capabilities and capacities of Ursa-Chemie GmbH.
With the range of production lines unveiled today, we now have four versatile production lines that cater for different batch sizes and process requirements. This enables us to handle even larger production volumes efficiently and flexibly.
Four machineries, different capacities
The systems are manufactured from high-quality 1.4571 / AISI 316Ti stainless steel and are polished. This austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel, stabilised with titanium, is characterised by good corrosion resistance and is therefore suitable for a wide variety of production processes.
The available capacities range from 5,000 to 10,000 litres:
- System capacity 1: 7,000 litres
- System capacity 2: 5,000 litres
- System capacity 3: 5,000 litres
- System capacity 4: 10,000 litres
All four plants are designed for flexible production processes and are equipped with high-performance agitators to ensure reliable mixing.
The systems are located in a GMP-Cosmetic-compliant production area, which is certified in accordance with the relevant requirements and guidelines. High quality standards also apply to the construction of the units: the internal surfaces are machined to a surface roughness of approximately 0.2 µm. The internal weld seams are ground flush with the sheet metal. This applies to all four vessels.
High-performance and flexible temperature control
Plants 1 to 3 each have a capacity of 5,000 or 7,000 litres and are fitted with a Viscoprop agitator with a power output of 17 kW.
Temperature control up to 158.8 °C enables temperature-controlled processes to be carried out. Furthermore, depending on requirements, the systems can be expanded with various components – for example, with different filter options, a disperser or a connection to storage tanks with a capacity of up to 30,000 litres.
We are also flexible when it comes to filling: the products can be filled into IBCs, drums or jerrycans, amongst other options. Smaller containers are also available on request via our small-batch filling service. Filling into collapsible containers with liners is also available.
For such processes, the systems can also be inerted with nitrogen. The permissible operating pressure is 2 bar; a vacuum of up to 20 mbar is possible.
System capacity 4: 10,000 litres for larger batches
With a capacity of 10,000 litres, the CK4 is our largest unit within this group of plants.
A 22 kW EKATO Viscoprop agitator is used for mixing. The system is also suitable for products with a viscosity of up to 10,000 mPas. Whether and how optimal mixing can be achieved at a specific viscosity is calculated on the basis of the relevant material data.
System 4 is capable of temperature control up to a permissible operating temperature of 123°C. As with the other systems, various options are available for further processing and bottling.
Plant 4 can also be inerted with nitrogen and has a permissible operating pressure of 2 bar.
What does this mean for our production capacity?
The range of production capacities clearly demonstrates the breadth of our capabilities in contract manufacturing for larger production runs.
We have a range of production options available, from 5,000 to 10,000-litre batches. At the same time, the various agitators, temperature control systems and attachments allow us to adapt to the specific requirements of the product and the manufacturing process.
It is important to note that the size of the plant alone is only one aspect to consider. Factors such as formulation, material properties, viscosity, temperature control and the required process steps are always decisive. Only by taking the interplay of these factors into account can one assess which plant is best suited to a specific job.
