Common questions
Cosmetics & skincare equipment questions
Which filling machines are used for cosmetics & skincare?
The correct machine depends on whether the product is a liquid, foam, viscous paste, particulate mixture, powder, granule or countable solid. For a typical face cream, a piston, servo-piston, progressive-cavity or lobe-pump filler is a practical starting point.
Can one line handle several cosmetics & skincare products?
Often yes, provided the filler, product feed, contact materials, cleaning method, dose range, containers and closures cover the full range. The most difficult product and pack should be used during the trial.
How should throughput be specified for cosmetics & skincare?
Use weekly volume, shift pattern, batch size, changeovers, cleaning time and operator loading. Select the complete line around the slowest station rather than the headline speed of one machine.
What samples are required for a machinery test?
Provide representative product, every container and closure size, labels, code requirements and details of the normal production temperature. Include the most viscous, foamy, hazardous or particulate formulation.
