Part 2
▪ Add 45 ml of A, 45 ml of B, 10 ml of C
▪ Add 45 ml of A, 45 ml of B, 10 ml of D
▪ Add 45 ml of A, 45 ml of B, 10 ml of E
Which of product C, D or E mixes A and B?
The Pastillator
▪ Some of our customers want a product that is
easier to use and so they want it in a form of
little blobs called pastilles.
▪ These pastilles are made in a machine called a
pastillator
