The SMF2000 Soap Mini-Factory has been designed to produce hand soap from used cooking oil, coconut oil or other selected local plant oils. The SMF2000 is assembled and delivered in a new standard ISO 20 foot shipping container which becomes the on-site factory.
Soap making is an ancient and low technology process which requires the mixing of oil with water and caustic materials (usually Sodium Hydroxide for bar soap). The SMF2000 has been designed to be intentionally labour intensive, using little or no electricity, making it perfectly suited to providing dignified employment opportunities for unskilled or rural workers from village communities.
The soap is ideal for use in local communities to support health and hygiene initiatives. Delivering the soap on a weekly basis to local school children to take home to their families is an ideal distribution mechanism in developing countries.
The SMF2000 was originally developed for an NGO. The most recent system was commissioned in Papua New Guinea in July 2014.
