Cosmetic Cream Filling Machine

Cosmetic Cream is a preparation usually for application to the skin. Creams may be considered pharmaceutical products as even cosmetic creams are based on techniques developed by pharmacy and unmedicated creams are highly used in a variety of skin conditions.

Creams are semi-solid emulsions of oil and water. They are divided into two types: oil-in-water creams which are composed of small droplets of oil dispersed in a continuous water phase, and water-in-oil creams which are composed of small droplets of water dispersed in a continuous oily phase. Oil-in-water creams are more comfortable and cosmetically acceptable as they are less greasy and more easily washed off using water. Water-in-oil creams are more difficult to handle but many drugs which are incorporated into creams are hydrophobic and will be released more readily from a water-in-oil cream than an oil-in-water cream. Water-in-oil creams are also more moisturising as they provide an oily barrier which reduces water loss from the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin.[From Wiki]

The market is the most common cosmetic cream container is a round glass jar, sample jars are generally 3 to 5 grams, cosmetic cream container size is generally 4oz to 8oz.

For most cosmetic creams are semi-fixed form, high viscosity in the choice of filling principle is recommended piston or pump filling.

First of all, if the container of the cosmetic cream is a plastic tube or laminated tube, VKPAK recommends using our tube filling and sealing machine, which is specially designed for liquid tube packaging and is perfect for filling cosmetic cream.

Secondly, for the most common cosmetic cream jars, VKPAK recommends the use of monoblock filling and capping machines. VKPAK offers monoblock filling and capping machines designed to simplify your bottling line, by combining multiple machine into a single space saving unit. Filling and capping are tasks of central importance in cosmetic industries. Only once the containers have been filled and capped using a method which is suitable for the product and with the most advanced cost effective technology can the best product be manufactured for the consumer. Another advantage of the monoblock filling system lies in the ability of the packager to choose the specific packaging functions that are needed. As mentioned above, a monoblock system will almost always include a filling machine and some type of capping machine or closure system. From here, packagers are free to include any packaging equipment they need or want in the overall package. The system can include inner cap stations, gasket stations, etc. This design freedom allows each packager to create a unique packaging system for any given product. Particularly suitable for packaging in the cosmetics industry.

Finally, for cosmetic creams with larger bottles, you can also consider using a linear piston filling machine.

In addition, it should be noted that: many cosmetic cream containers have smooth caps, and attention needs to be paid to prevent damage to the caps when selecting the capping machine.

Cosmetic cream 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. For example, cosmetic cream jars with lower heights may be considered for labeling on the top and bottom sides of the jar.

Cosmetic creams are popular cosmetic products typically associated with rehydrating the skin. However, some creams may be used for medicinal or therapeutic purposes, such as sunscreen or acne cream. Different uses and benefits lead to a variety of different creams available on the market. These creams can range from an almost water-like viscosity to a much thicker and less free-flowing liquid. The different viscosities of the product mean that several different filling machines can be used for packaging. The trick is to choose the right liquid filler for the creams being filled.

Both pump filling machines and piston fillers can handle thicker viscosities with ease. Pump filling machines allow for flexibility by matching the pump to the actual cream being filled. An accurate volumetric fill can be achieved using either a time-based system or a pulse based system. Time based systems simply fill for the chosen amount of time, while pulse based will be measured by some function of the pump. For example, a pulse for a gear pump may be a quarter, half or full turn of the gear.

Piston fillers also work with higher viscosity creams, and may be the best choice for the thickest of liquids. Also a volumetric fill, the piston simply retracts to allow product in to the cylinder, then pushes product in to waiting bottles when it returns to the cylinder. Piston fillers can also handle both thin and thick liquids, which can make the machine the ideal solution for companies packaging a range of creams.

Configure A Custom Cosmetic Cream Production Line

Like other types of liquid products, creams require production line configurations that work best with them specifically. Depending on the type of cosmetic cream product and its packaging requirements, we can help you design and implement a customized liquid packaging line that gives your facility the results you want from liquid packaging processes. We offer size and setup options that can meet the individual requirements of your application, and assist with the implementation process.

If you would like to speak with a liquid packaging expert who can help you get started on the design and implementation of your cosmetic cream filling equipment system, contact VKPAK. Once you have installed your custom liquid packaging configuration, we offer additional services to help you maintain your production line for many years.
