If you place a batch in a graduated cylinder and observe the relative quantities of the 3 layers then compare to your formula, you should be able to get a good idea of what's happening. I suspect you have layers of vegetable oil, silicones, and water.
Design of anti-aging creams, gels, and serums; shampoos; and therapeutic cosmetics. In-house label and box design capability.
I am going to check it.. But I do not know what equipment and machinery are used for this process? whould you please give me some information about that?
I think, you misunderstood. As you suggested me : ( If you place a batch in a graduated cylinder and observe the relative

I checked that and my problem was solved. Now I want to produce this product in a pilot plant but I do not know what equipment and machinery are used for that?
by the way, I studied organic chemistry in MSc degree.
@Perry , @jerry : I am going to manufacture a batch of two phases hair spray up to 500 kilos . I think, special equipment are used for that, So, I need more information about the manufacturing process and the required equipment.
Seems to be a simple formulation in terms of processing so I suppose you can use a normal mixer. Eventually the batch is going to separate in 2 phases though while filling you make sure that the batch is continuously under mixing for favorable results.
@chemist: thank you for your reply, for processing yes I agree with you, we can use a normal mixer but I do not know when I want to fill the bottles what should I do? so I think we have to use special mixer for that.
at my old place we used to make and fill two-phase mouthwash; each phase was made and filled separately, as trying to fill the mixed product would have been far too complicated and impractical

I know some stuff about: EU regulations, emulsions (O/W and W/O), toothpaste, mouthwash, shampoos, other toiletries
I'm going to agree with Bill also - the chances for variability in phase volume when trying to fill a 2-phase product all at once are high. Fill each phase separately, and you won't need special equipment either.

the formula is ok, only add a emulsifier to the oil phase, al least 3 %, and you will get a pretty milky fase above, and the water fase is clear, the filling is not a problem , beacause this formula in the first separation times it takes a lot o time, so you only have to stirr while you fill
