Natural Cosmetic Raw Material Extraction Production Line

Project Info

Project Name: Natural Cosmetic Raw Material Extraction Membrane Separation Production Line

Location: Chongqing, China

Processing Capacity: 1000 L/H

EPC Supplier: BluewavBio Technology Co., Ltd.

Project Background

Consumers worldwide are increasingly favouring safe, natural and plant-derived cosmetic ingredients. Conventional plant extraction processes rely on high-temperature evaporation and traditional filtration, which easily cause degradation of heat-sensitive active substances. Disadvantages include turbid liquid, high energy consumption, unstable product quality and high operating costs.

To solve these pain points, we designed an integrated production line adopting the combined process: Extraction → Centrifugation → Membrane Clarification Filtration → Low-temperature Membrane Concentration. The membrane separation technology optimises the traditional extraction workflow for natural cosmetic raw materials.

Process Flow

Raw Material Extraction → Centrifugal Pre-treatment → Membrane Clarification → Low-temperature Membrane Concentration → Final Concentrated Liquid

Centrifugal Pre-treatment

Remove coarse residues and suspended solids to reduce membrane fouling and extend membrane service life.

Membrane Clarification Filtration

Intercept plant fibres, colloids and macromolecular impurities while retaining target active components. No filter aids required. The permeate achieves high clarity and avoids later precipitation.

Low-temperature Membrane Concentration

Operate under ambient/low temperature without thermal evaporation. Effectively protect heat-sensitive ingredients such as flavonoids, polyphenols and plant polysaccharides, maintaining natural activity of cosmetic raw materials.

Core Advantages

✅ Better Product Quality

Low-temperature operation prevents active ingredient oxidation & decomposition. Clear, stable extracts meet high-standard cosmetic formulation requirements.

✅ Remarkable Energy Saving & Cost Reduction

Far lower energy consumption compared with traditional vacuum thermal concentration. Automated operation cuts labour costs.

✅ Closed & Modular Design

Fully closed production reduces material oxidation. Modular structure enables flexible capacity expansion and easy installation.

✅ Easy Maintenance

Support online CIP cleaning for membrane regeneration. Stable long-term running, suitable for continuous industrial production.

Scope of Application

This solution works for all kinds of plant-based cosmetic active extracts:

Plant polysaccharides, flavonoids, herbal extracts, fruit & vegetable active liquids and other natural botanical raw materials.

Customised capacity available for pilot test and full-scale industrial production. Existing production lines can also be retrofitted.
