Liquid Soap Filling Machine

Liquid soap is, as the name implies, fluid soap packaged in a bottle. Soap is a salt of a fatty acid used in a variety of cleansing and lubricating products. In a domestic setting, soaps are surfactants usually used for washing, bathing, and other types of housekeeping. In industrial settings, soaps are used as thickeners, components of some lubricants, and precursors to catalysts.

When used for cleaning, soap solubilizes particles and grime, which can then be separated from the article being cleaned. In hand washing, as a surfactant, when lathered with a little water, soap kills microorganisms by disorganizing their membrane lipid bilayer and denaturing their proteins. It also emulsifies oils, enabling them to be carried away by running water.[From Wiki]

Liquid soap bottles come in various shapes such as round, oval, square, or even trapezoid. Many options have flat, stable bases that make the packing process more efficient and reduce product waste caused by breakage during shipping or storage. While both glass and plastic empty soap bottles are recyclable options, plastic bottles offer a strong packaging choice that is shatter-resistant when dropped or when roughly handled during transportation. Plastic is also typically cheaper to manufacture, making it a cost-effective option. Plastic choices include PET, HDPE, LDPE, and PVC.

Filling machinery for liquid soaps can take many different forms depending on the makeup of the soap itself. Many soaps are free-flowing liquids that allow overflow fillers and gravity filling machines to handle the product. Some of these products, on the other hand, tend to be more viscous and may even have particulates to help with the cleaning. For these products, pump and piston fillers may also be used to help the product move through the pathway and in to the bottles. As soaps are prone to foam when agitated during the fill, special steps may be taken to control such foam during the fill. The process or principle of the overflow filler helps to control foaming, while modifications to nozzles on the other three filling machines can help control the same.

While exceptions may apply, many liquid soaps will use a screw-on type closure to seal the bottles. These closures, however, can come in many different shapes and forms. Some may have simple flat caps that unscrew, while others may use flip-tops or the popular pump cap for user convenience. As a majority of the caps screw-on to the bottle, the spindle capper is probably the most popular capping machine for this industry. These capping machines use sets of spinning disks to tighten the caps as they pass through the disks on a power conveyor. For semi-automatic projects, a chuck capper may also be used depending on the type of screw-on cap that is being tightened.

Liquid Soap bottle labeling machine, usually choose the following equipment, the specific machine selection needs to be based on the shape of the container, the size of the container, label size to decide.

There are many different things to consider when purchasing liquid soap bottling machinery. At VKPAK, we know the ins and outs of the liquid filling, and that’s why we’re proud to offer our clients a wide variety of different liquid soap bottling equipment. From start to finish, you’ll find everything you need for a liquid soap bottle packaging line here.

Install A Complete Liquid Soap Filling System

Each machine in our product line is intended for the filling and packaging of liquids with low to high viscosity. Liquid soap is one of the less viscous products that our equipment can handle. If you would like to complete your liquid soap production line, we carry several other machines along with liquid fillers.

Foaming is the challenge when you are working with liquid soap. Piston fillers generally don’t cause foaming, move the piston slower to minimize foaming if it occurs.

The elegant simplicity of our automatic gravity filling machine makes them a good candidate for a liquid soap filler, and they are affordable. Using air pressure to move product through the filler, as opposed to a rotary pump, minimizes foaming.

VKPAK overflow filling machine ensure that filled bottles on the retail shelf appear to contain the same amount of product, no matter the minor irregularities between the bottles. This type of filler can also handle a foamy product.

Accurate fill quantities can be achieved by piston fillers or positive displacement pumps. The amount of product dispensed by a piston filler is determined by cylinder diameter and piston stroke length. VKPAK offers metered filling machines based on either technology.

Use capping machines following the liquid filling process to apply custom caps to effectively seal bottles of nearly any size and shape. After capping is completed, you can use one of our labeling machines to attach high-quality labels that include images, logos, and product information to soap and hand sanitizer containers. Our conveyor equipment can move packaging from one station to the next at low to high speeds, depending on the application's requirements.
