In the cosmetics industry, the quality of powder products directly impacts the effectiveness of finished goods and brand reputation. With the continuous growth of global cosmetic market demand, high-quality powder manufacturers face heightened production volume requirements and stricter challenges in screening precision. A U.S.-based company specializing in high-quality acrylic powder production found its traditional screening equipment increasingly unable to meet production efficiency and accuracy demands as market orders grew year after year. Consequently, they sought a reliable and efficient screening solution.
After thoroughly understanding the client’s production processes, material characteristics, and manufacturing objectives, we tailored an Ultrasonic Vibrating Sieve solution to achieve efficient powder screening and increased output.
Customer Requirements Analysis
During the project’s initial phase, we conducted multiple rounds of communication with the client’s technical team to thoroughly analyze the following key requirements:
- Production Capacity: A stable hourly output of 100–200kg of acrylic powder is required to meet continuously growing market orders.
- Screen Specifications: High-precision screening of three distinct particle sizes—106 μm, 90 μm, and 75 μm—is required to ensure uniform powder particle distribution.
- Material Properties: Acrylic powder has a specific gravity of approximately 1.2–1.8 with good flowability. However, fine particles are prone to agglomeration and screen clogging.
- Equipment Material Requirements: The base frame is constructed from carbon steel. All powder-contacting components utilize stainless steel to ensure hygiene, safety, and corrosion resistance.
- Number of Screen Layers: A multi-layer design is required to enable simultaneous screening of multiple specifications, enhancing production efficiency.
- Operational Ease: The equipment must facilitate easy cleaning and maintenance to minimize downtime.
Based on the above requirements, we determined that a conventional mechanical vibrating screen cannot efficiently classify ultra-fine powders. Therefore, we recommend the Ultrasonic Vibrating Sieve, incorporating targeted vibration and auxiliary mechanisms for each sieve layer.
Customized Ultrasonic Vibrating Sieve Solution
Following technical discussions, we have provided our client with a specially designed Ultrasonic Vibrating Sieve featuring the following primary configurations and characteristics:
Equipment Dimensions and Structure
- Screen Diameter: 800mm
- Number of Screen Layers: 3 layers, capable of simultaneously processing powders of different particle sizes
- Body Material: Carbon steel base + stainless steel contact surfaces, compliant with sanitary standards
The multi-layer design not only saves production space but also enables simultaneous classification of coarse and fine particles, significantly boosting production efficiency.
Ultrasonic Screening System
75 μm Ultra-Fine Powder Layer: Integrated ultrasonic vibration system gently propels powder through the screen mesh via high-frequency, micro-amplitude vibrations, preventing powder adhesion and screen clogging.
Advantages: Ensures screening precision while enhancing production stability; reduces manual screen cleaning frequency and minimizes downtime.
Bouncing Ball Mechanism
90 μm and 106 μm Coarse Powder Layers: Utilizes a bouncing ball mechanism where balls strike the screen mesh to break up powder clumps and accelerate the fall of larger particles.
Effect: Effectively prevents screen clogging, enhances coarse particle screening efficiency, and extends screen mesh service life.
High-Efficiency Production Capacity Guarantee
- Stable hourly output of 100–200kg acrylic powder
- Ensures simultaneous operation of multi-layer screening for uniform particle size
- Minimizes dust dispersion during efficient screening to maintain clean production environments
The combination of ultrasonic vibrating sieve and ultrasonic screening system achieves efficient classification of fine and coarse powders, meeting dual customer demands for output and precision.
Results
Since the equipment was put into production, the customer has achieved significant improvements:
- Increased Production Capacity: Hourly output has stabilized at 100–200kg, meeting growing order demands.
- Enhanced Screening Efficiency: The ultrasonic system and ball mechanism work in tandem, enabling simultaneous multi-layer screening. Screening speed has increased by approximately 30% compared to traditional equipment.
- Reduced Downtime: Significantly lower screen clogging has cut routine maintenance and screen cleaning by 50%, substantially boosting production efficiency.
- Product Quality Stability: Powder exhibits uniform particle size and excellent flowability, enhancing consistency and quality in subsequent cosmetic processing.
- Operational Ease: The equipment features a streamlined structure and facilitates effortless cleaning, meeting the stringent hygiene standards required in cosmetic manufacturing.
Customer feedback indicates that the comprehensive Ultrasonic Vibrating Sieve solution has substantially alleviated production bottlenecks while bolstering market competitiveness.
Conclusion
This case demonstrates the successful application of the ultrasonic vibrating sieve in the cosmetic industry for powder screening. By combining the ultrasonic screening system with the bouncing ball mechanism, the client achieved high productivity, precise separation, and low maintenance costs. For powder manufacturers seeking efficiency and consistent quality, the ultrasonic vibrating sieve is an ideal solution to enhance production capacity and product quality.
