Waxes, polishes & maintenance products production and packaging
Heated, viscous and low-drip filling guidance for maintenance pastes, greases, waxes and polishes. Select the exact product and pack combination to see the process route, recommended machine type, risks and questions.
Start with the product, then confirm the pack and output.
Products in this sector include several physical behaviours: Smooth viscous product (90), Gel, cream or lotion (10). This changes the filler, feed system, nozzle, cleaning plan and safety controls.

Waxes, polishes & maintenance products equipment questions
Which filling machines are used for waxes, polishes & maintenance products?
The correct machine depends on whether the product is a liquid, foam, viscous paste, particulate mixture, powder, granule or countable solid. For a typical furniture polish, a piston, servo-piston, progressive-cavity or positive-displacement filler is a practical starting point.
Can one line handle several waxes, polishes & maintenance products 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 waxes, polishes & maintenance products?
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.
Confirm the product, container, closure, output and site requirements with Lancing.
Product samples and finished packaging allow the machinery route to be tested rather than assumed.
