Summary
Shampoo is a hair care product, typically in the form of a viscous liquid, that is used for cleaning hair. Shampoo is used by applying it to wet hair, massaging the product into the scalp, and then rinsing it out. Some users may follow a shampooing with the use of hair conditioner.
Shampoo is one of the many liquid products that VKPAK equipment can fill and package. Facilities can utilize complete systems of shampoo filling equipment, labelers, cappers, and conveyors to meet nearly any shampoo packaging facility’s needs. Our machinery can also fill and packaging many other low-to-high-viscosity liquids, including beverages and industrial liquid products. Using a system of reliable equipment that we offer, you can maximize your liquid packaging facility’s longevity.
View VideoThe typical reason of using shampoo is to remove the unwanted build-up of sebum in the hair without stripping out so much as to make hair unmanageable. Shampoo is generally made by combining a surfactant, most often sodium lauryl sulfate or sodium laureth sulfate, with a co-surfactant, most often cocamidopropyl betaine in water to form a thick, viscous liquid. The sulphate ingredient acts as a surfactant, essentially heavy-duty soap that makes it easier to trap oil and grease.
Shampoos are cleaning formulations used for a wide range of applications, including personal care, pet use, and carpets. Most are manufactured in the same manner. They are composed primarily of chemicals called surfactants that have the special ability to surround oily materials on surfaces and allow them to be rinsed away by water. Most commonly, shampoos are used for personal care, especially for washing the hair.[From Wiki]

Shampoo bottle capping machine, usually choose the following equipment, the specific machine selection needs to be based on the shape of the cap, size, capping method to decide. For example: PP Shampoos Bottle Cap(Figure 4 above) is recommended to use a press capping machine, Lotion Pump Cap(Figure 1 above) is recommended to use a 4-wheel chuck capping machine or 6-wheel spindle capping machine.
Bottling Equipment for Shampoos
In the bottling industry, certain features of filling and capping equipment are commonly associated with specific industries. However, when it comes to bottling equipment for shampoos, the general rules may not always apply. Shampoos exhibit variations in viscosity, foam during filling, and require specific cap types. Hence, the characteristics of each shampoo product must be carefully analyzed to find the most suitable filling and packaging solutions.
Viscosity Variation:
Unlike bottled water, shampoos come in various viscosity levels. Consequently, a single type of filling machine cannot cater to 95% of all shampoo products. Depending on the specific shampoo being bottled, a pump filler may be employed when dealing with thicker products. The properties of the soap or shampoo play a crucial role in determining the appropriate filler type.
Managing Foam:
Some shampoos tend to foam during the filling process. Different bottle fillers employ diverse methods to prevent foam from causing inconsistent fills. For thicker products, bottom-up filling, anti-foaming nozzle attachments, or other techniques may be necessary to control foam. The optimal approach to tackling foam formation will depend on the specific shampoo being bottled.
Cap types
The choice of bottle cappers for shampoos is primarily influenced by the package and cap design rather than the product itself. Shampoos may use flip-top caps, flat screw-on caps, or pump top caps. While screw-on caps are commonly used, exceptions exist for certain cap types. Spindle cappers and chuck capping machines are frequently employed to seal most shampoo bottles in the market. However, for pump tops and unique lids, custom placing or inserting components may be required to consistently and reliably create a seal.
Due to the aforementioned factors, each individual shampoo product's characteristics are thoroughly analyzed to identify the best solution for its specific requirements and market demand. A comprehensive system of shampoo filling machines can be integrated, as well as other liquid packaging machinery, to create a complete packaging system. This minimizes breakdowns and enhances productivity. With our wide range of options, we can accommodate the unique requirements of your application.
Integrate A Complete System Of Shampoo Filling Machines
Shampoo is one of the thicker products that our liquid fillers can handle. In addition to shampoo filling equipment, we also carry other types of liquid packaging machinery to complete your packaging system, minimizing breakdowns while increasing productivity. We offer many different options to meet your application's unique requirements.
Following the filling process, capping equipment can fit customized caps on many different types of bottles to form an airtight seal that prevents contamination and leakage. Labelers can apply clear, Mylar, or paper labels to containers with unique branding, text, and images. To make sure your shampoo products travel with consistent efficiency from start to finish throughout the filling and packaging processes, you can use a system of conveyors programmed at custom speed settings. Using a combination of this equipment, you can benefit from an optimal production line that gives you the results you want.
