Manufacturing Process
Dry Blending Phase
Weigh cornstarch and baking soda using a digital scale with precision to two decimal places.
Using an industrial powder blender, mix cornstarch and baking soda for 15 minutes at a speed of 1200 rpm to ensure uniform distribution.
Conduct a quality control checkpoint to verify the uniformity of powder distribution.
Essential Oil Addition Phase
Gradually add lavender and tea tree essential oils into the blended powders using a fine mist spray method to prevent clumping.
Continue blending for an additional 10 minutes at reduced speed (800 rpm) for even dispersion of oils.
Perform an aroma check and adjust essential oils if necessary within specification limits.
Final Processing
Transfer blended product to an automatic powder packaging machine set to the designated fill weight.
Seal and label with batch-specific details before proceeding to final quality assurance.
Conduct a final quality check for moisture content and odor balance.
