Personal Care Product Filling Solutions
The category of personal care products actually covers a vast number of different items. From soothing salves and skin lotions to toothpaste and mouthwash, shaving cream, liquid soap and shampoos, personal care products could probably be broken down into dozens of subcategories. Unfortunately, the variety of products also means that no single liquid filling machine will work for every personal care product. Instead, the type of filling machine used will depend on the unique characteristics of the individual product.
Almost every filler type can be utilized in the personal care industry. Some thin products will take advantage of the overflow filler principle. Others will use a simple gravity filler time-based principle. Thicker products such as shampoos and conditioners will use a time-based or pulse-based pump filler to package product. Other products high on the viscosity chart, like toothpastes or some gels, may require a piston filler to get the job done.\

A Filling Machine for the Personal Care Products Industry
Personal care products include both liquid soaps and shampoos as well as cosmetic products including lotions, creams and pastes. Because liquid soaps and shampoos are relatively thin viscosity, they are capable of being filled on more than one type of filling machine. An Overflow Filling Machine can handle a limited range viscosity of liquid soaps, shampoos and lighter conditioners. This machine is only mentioned here as an exception because it really cannot address the typical range of viscosities for personal care products manufacturers; an Overflow Filling Machine will simply not function at all for heavier cosmetics or even heavy shampoos and conditioners. Even liquid soap filling on an overflow filler has limited application for small producers. As the viscosity of the soaps increase, the number of nozzles needed to maintain the desired output on an overflow filler will correspondingly increase and thereby increase the capital cost up until the point that it is now at par with the cost per output of a smaller piston filling machine.
Most cosmetic products require a positive displacement type filling machine that can volumetrically fill relatively viscous products. Because these viscous products flow quite slowly, they must be forced through a fluid path under some pressure to deliver them into the container. This is also true where the shape and opening of a container will not lend itself to anything other method. Positive displacement volumetric fillers such as the piston filler and servo pump filling machine are designed for this purpose and are best suited to the Personal Care Products Industry.
When it comes to packaging liquids that are sold in the personal care industries, it’s important to have the best-suited equipment available for your packaging line. Using machinery that is built to last and designed to work with these types of liquids ensures your packaging line runs efficiently for many years to come.
Liquid Filling Machinery From VKPAK
From high-viscosity lotions and makeup to corrosive nail polish removers and more, cosmetic products all have distinct chemical properties. This means that filling machines for personal care products are all distinctly different, as well.
At VKPAK, we offer our clients in these industries specialized equipment that is designed to stand up to the harsh environment that the chemicals and liquids create. VKPAK customizes filling equipment for products of all kinds, ensuring that your production line is efficient while resisting the chemical properties that can compromise its longevity. We’re happy to provide the types of equipment that a variety of industries need, and no matter what you need for your packaging line, you’ll find it here.
Different Filling Equipment Available For Personal Care Products
Filling systems for personal care products, such as health and beauty aids, should always be designed for the product in question. High-viscosity products, for example, can clog the inside of a machine, while acidic chemicals can lead to corrosion.
We also offer other machines for your line, including capping machines, labelers, conveyors, and more.
At VKPAK, we’re dedicated to helping you purchase the best-suited equipment for your packaging line. Contact us today to learn more about our selection of filling equipment designed specifically for health and beauty personal care products.
