SOAP PLODDERS
Soap Plodders refine, homogenize, compress, and shape soap through a mechanical cold process.
Customizable in design, they ensure uniform, high-quality soap bars with optimal texture and consistency.

The majority of our plodders are customized units that are available in different layout combinations, different L/D (length to diameter) ratios, use of various materials, several and customized screw (worm) designs, multiple options, and of course are offered in different sizes.
More economical “pelletizers” are offered for various applications including “pre-refining”. Multi-colored systems are available in solid-liquid and solid-solid variations.
SOAP PELLETIZER
A Soap Pelletizer is designed to transform soap of different sizes and shapes into pellets and also to break aged soap noodles for an optimal feeding of refining-plodding stages.
REFINING PLODDER
Refining is the core step of soap finishing, it is a combination of intimate homogenization and filtering of the soap. Soap refining is a mechanical cold process that transforms mixed soap noodles (soap pellets) into formulated soap noodles. The final product is homogeneous and compact.
The soap Refining Stage as commonly defined is not a precise parameter for the following reasons:
-
Different Simplex Refiners have different features (L/D ratio, installed kW, etc.)
-
Mechanical conditions and maintenance determine sensible differences in the performances (i.e. a worn-out screw reduces the refining)
-
The use of screens with different mesh sizes gives different soap refining results.
DUPLEX VACUUM PLODDER
Duplex Vacuum Plodders are designed for homogenizing, refining, compressing and extruding the processed soap in form of a continuous soap bar, through the die-plate which gives the required shape to the soap bar.
The majority of our plodders are customized units which are available with different layout combinations, different L/D (length to diameter) ratios, use of various materials, several and customized screw (worm) designs, multiple options and of course are offered in different sizes.
