A cosmetic cream mixing and degassing machine is a blade-free centrifugal mixer that disperses powders into the oil phase and removes trapped air under vacuum.
It turns rough, whitish batches into smooth, translucent creams in minutes.
Consumers judge a cream by its texture: "melts on contact", "silky smooth".
Powders such as zinc oxide, titanium dioxide and color pigments easily clump in a high-viscosity cream, while fast blade mixing drags in air that leaves the batch rough and dull.
Why Creams Turn Powdery and Bubbly
•Powder agglomeration.
Colorants and sunscreen powders resist dispersion in the oil phase, leaving a gritty feel and uneven color.
•Trapped bubbles.
Air makes the cream look white and opaque and speeds up oxidation.
•Batch variation.
Manual or open stirring makes fineness and consistency drift between batches.
•Heat damage to actives.
Vitamin C and retinol degrade when mixing generates heat.
How SMIDA Mixes and Degasses Creams
1.Low-speed pre-mix.
Weigh the oil phase and powders, then pre-mix at low speed to wet the powder without splashing or clumping.
2.Centrifugal dispersion.
Mix at 1200-1800 rpm for 2-4 minutes to break up powder clumps until the cream turns fine.
3.Vacuum degassing.
Degas down to 0.2 kPa for 2-3 minutes until the cream is translucent.
4.Inspection.
Spread a thin film and check for grit or bubbles.
Why SMIDA for Your Cream Line

The cream touches only the cup — no metal wear debris, no cleaning residue.
•Temperature control.
TTC models hold -15 °C to 25 °C to protect heat-sensitive actives.
•One platform, every scale.
From 150 g samples to 100 kg+ production, mixing volumes from 1 g to 100 kg+.
•Factory direct.
SMIDA is a Shenzhen manufacturer with 17+ years in material processing, CE, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certified, trusted by 2,000+ customers in 40+ countries.
Quick Answers
How long does cream degassing take?
A few minutes under 0.2 kPa vacuum removes visible and microbubbles from most cream formulations.
Will mixing damage heat-sensitive actives?
TTC models hold the batch at -15 °C to 25 °C, so sensitive actives stay stable.
Can I test my own formula?
Yes.
Send a sample to the SMIDA lab for a free mixing and degassing test with before-and-after data on fineness and bubble level.
A cream's premium feel is half formula, half process — send a sample to the SMIDA lab to compare fineness before and after mixing.
