Determining the Optimal of the Materials Compositing the washing powder (powder) in the Factories of detergent materials

Abstract

In this research, we are doing a calculation on the optimal proportions of the materials included in the composition of the washing powder (powder) by adopting the solver tool in the Microsoft Excel environment according to the factory plan and the Syrian Standard Specification No.185-2001 for the high – foaming powder (non-automatic washing machines), and the latest ones of them No.185-2011, beside to the Syrian Standard Specification No.272-2001 for the low – foaming powder (automatic washing machines) and the latest of them No.272-2011 to be adopted in the future in the detergent Factories to determine the optimum ratio. Furthermore, in the research, the optimum ratios for preparing a single mixture within the mixer, which weighing 530 Kg, will be determined, and a comparison will be made among the ratios before applying the solver tool and the ratios after its applying to choose the best ratios that give homogeneous powder of high quality with the required specifications.
