The cosmetics industry is specific in several ways. Filling lines must be very easy to clean in order to avoid cross-contamination of products. At the same time, they must be easily adjustable for a variety of different packaging – furthermore, some packaging can be very complex to handle due to high design requirements.
Our Automatic Bottle Unscramblers can be equipped with an orientation unit, this is essential in the case of automatic set-ups for asymmetric packaging. These devices can also be used for inserting packages into pucks ensuring the transport of unstable packages on the conveyor.
The Filling Machines offer easy cleanability, this allows a quick change of the filled product. The ability to fill from the bottom, where the filling nozzle is below the surface of the product, combined with the adjustable filling speed, helps to eliminate unwanted foaming of the product. This significantly increases the performance of the filling equipment. The combination of flow meters and appropriate pump types allows filling of both liquid products and creams in one unit.
We are developing Capping systems so that different types of caps common to the cosmetic industry can be combined. These include screw caps, bump caps, flip top caps as well as pumps, dispensers and sprays. Our Capping systems can also be equipped with a station for the application of various liners, droppers, dispensers or units for the application of induction welded film.
For facilities with limited space, we also produce Filling & Capping Monoblocks, where the filling and closing equipment is housed in a single frame. These are compact devices that are easy to clean, adjustable and significantly reduce operating requirements.
We know very well that the cosmetics industry also places high demands on the precise application of labels. That’s why our Labelling Machines can apply all-round self-adhesive labels on cylindrical packaging. Front and back self-adhesive labels on packaging of various shapes, or other additional labels applied to the packaging or its closure. Our labeling equipment is characterized by high application accuracy and at the same time easy adjustability to different types of packaging or label. The labeling equipment can be combined with Ink Jet devices, as well as equipped with a thermal transfer printer to print the production or expiry date directly on the label or packaging.
One separate category is the bottling of cosmetic products, especially creams in plastic or aluminium tubes. We offer such machines precisely tailored to customer-specific requirements, with varying performance and degrees of automation. These systems combine good cleaning capability, quick setup, and simple operation – a single operator is sufficient for the complete operation of these systems.
The unit is equipped with a tube alignment system that, in conjunction with a weld seam cutting unit, ensures a perfect design of each tube. In addition to classic welds, we also offer the option of rounded welds or the cutting of a „Euro notch“. The welding or seaming unit for tubes can be used for embossing – for imprinting the date and text into the weld seam of the tube.
Cosmetic filling plants can be easily enhanced with various secondary packaging options. Whether it's packing individual products into cartons, including the insertion of leaflets, or Packing into boxes or shrink wrap. For full automation, the systems can be equipped with a automated palletzing equipment.
