Description

Transparent soap manufacturing apparatus and transparent soap manufacturing method using the same {SOAP MANUFACTURING APPARATUS AND SOAP MANUFACTURING METHOD USING THE SAME}

The present invention relates to a transparent soap manufacturing apparatus and a transparent soap manufacturing method using the same, and more particularly, to a transparent soap manufacturing apparatus capable of producing transparent soap by warming and aging a soap solution at a high temperature and a transparent soap manufacturing method using the same It is about.

In general, since soap was marketed in earnest, soap with a simple function of simply removing dirt such as dust and waste from the body has been continuously forming the market, but as income and cultural levels gradually improved, skin As interest in care and face washing increases, a new market called functional beauty soap, unlike existing general soaps, is being formed.

On the other hand, when handmade soap is manufactured by a high-temperature soap manufacturing method (high process), it is difficult to produce soap with a high pure soap ratio and completely transparent soap.

When producing transparent handmade soap using a pipe-type soap mold, the soap transparency rate varies depending on the height of the pipe-type soap mold, and in particular, the soap is hardly transparent at the bottom.

The production of transparent soap is possible only by the high-temperature soap production method, but in the existing method, the transparency rate is not constant and irregular, so it is difficult to manufacture for mass production that can be sold in the primary soap production process.

If the ratio of the solvent is increased to make transparent soap by the high-temperature soap manufacturing method, the transparency is good, but the ratio of pure soap is low, so the amount of foam in the manufactured soap is reduced, the consumption of soap is high, and the quality of the soap is lowered.

When handmade soap is manufactured by the high-temperature soap manufacturing method, the quality of the product is excellent and the soap manufacturing process must be repeated 2nd and 3rd times in order to increase the transparency rate, so it takes a lot of manufacturing time and the production cost is high, making mass production difficult. There are difficult problems.

When the soap solution produced by the high-temperature soap manufacturing method is aged for more than 2 days at a temperature of 60 ° C. or higher using a constant temperature facility, the transparency rate improves, but the production cost of handmade soap increases due to facility costs and electricity costs. There is a problem in that mass production is difficult.

For this reason, when high-temperature soap manufacturing method produces transparent handmade soap of excellent quality, it is required to develop a method for manufacturing handmade soap with a high transparency rate that can be mass-produced in the primary soap manufacturing process.

First, the total amount of heat dissipated (Q) until the soap solution reaches 50 ° C is obtained through [Equation 1] below.

Q = specific heat of soap solution ㅧ capacity of soap solution ㅧ temperature difference (T1-50) --- [Formula 1]

Here, T1 is the temperature of the soap solution at the start of aging (to be 80 ° C or higher).

Next, the thermal resistance (R) of each housing and each heat insulating member is determined by [Equation 2] to It is obtained through [Equation 4].

Q = Thermal transmittance (K) ㅧ Area (A) ㅧ Temperature difference (temperature of soap solution at the start of aging - chamber temperature) ㅧ time --- [Equation 2]

Thermal transmittance (K) (W/m2K) = 1/ Total thermal resistance (R) --- [Equation 3]

Total thermal resistance (R) (㎡K/W) = housing thermal resistance + thermal insulation member thermal resistance --- [Equation 4]

As disclosed in [Equation 4], the total thermal resistance is divided into the thermal resistance of the housing and the thermal resistance of the insulating member, and the thickness (t) of the housing and the thermal resistance of the insulating member are appropriate for the thermal resistance of the housing and the thermal insulating member. Determine the thickness (t1) of

Hereinafter, a process for manufacturing transparent soap using the transparent soap manufacturing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
