Refining : The mixture may go through a refining process to ensure uniform consistency and texture. This may involve passing it through refining equipment to remove any impurities or air bubbles. Extrusion : Once the mixture is refined, it is fed into an extruder machine. The extruder shapes the soap into the desired form, whether it be bars, pellets, or other shapes. The extrusion process can be controlled to produce soap of consistent size and shape. Cutting : After extrusion, the soap is cut into individual bars or pieces. This can be done manually...
