A: STING has 13 years of experience in soap industry.

A: In the past 3 years, STING have installed 35 production lines. These include: 8sets small production lines (under 100 kg/h), mainly located in Guinea, Sudan, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, and Zimbabwe; 15sets medium-sized production lines (under 500 kg/h), mainly located in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Peru, Chile, and the UAE; and 12sets large production lines (over 1000 kg/h), mainly located in Jamaica, Brazil, Algeria, Ethiopia, Angola, Uganda, and Burkina Faso.

A: Laundry soap is generally in bars or blocks, with a relatively regular shape, and is commonly used for cleaning clothes; toilet soap has more varied shapes, mostly irregular, and is commonly used for bathing and facial cleansing. A production line can accommodate both types of soap; the front-end machines are identical, but the back-end machines need adjustment. Typically, a soap cutter is used to produce laundry soap, and a soap stamper is used to produce toilet soap.

A: Yes, one production line can produce different weight.

A: STING supply one year warranty period, truly reliable equipment experiences a high failure rate in the first 3-6 months. Once this period is navigated smoothly, the failure rate becomes very low. We prefer to focus on preventing problems altogether rather than trying to compensate for quality shortcomings by extending the warranty.

A: No. Full soap making is only economically feasible at large production volumes, typically around one ton per hour. For small-scale production, soap finishing is the practical and cost-effective option.

A: Yes. Soap finishing can be performed using small mixers, refiners, and extruders. These are often the same machines used by large manufacturers for pilot plant operations.

A: No. While the bars may initially appear solid, repeated wet and dry cycles will cause cracks to form and the pieces to separate over time.

A: No. A plodder or extruder does not convert liquid soap into solid form. It is designed only to reform and shape solid soap material.

A: There is essentially no difference. A plodder is a simple forming extruder, and the term is commonly used in the soap manufacturing industry.

A: Yes. Refrigeration prevents the soap from sticking to the die during stamping. Without it, release agents or plastic liners would be required for each stamp, which is impractical for production use.

A: Soap making includes the full manufacturing process: saponification, drying, and finishing. Soap finishing refers only to the final step, where finished soap bars are formed from pre-made soap chips.
