How to Use Cosmetic Filling and Sealing Equipment

Implementation

The cosmetic filling and capping machine is a machine used for multiple processes, such as filling, capping, and drying cosmetics. The equipment consists primarily of three components: a mechanical section, an electrical section, and a control system. This article provides a detailed introduction to the operating principle of the automatic cosmetic filling and capping machine.

How to Understand Some of the Cosmetic Filling and Sealing Equipment

Mechanical component

The mechanical components of the automatic filling and capping machine for cosmetics include the bottle feeding section, the filling section, the capping section, the drying section, etc.
Bottle/Tube Feeding Section
The bottle feeding section consists primarily of a conveyor belt, bottle position detection, quantitative feeding, etc. The conveyor belt is driven by a motor to feed the empty bottles into the filling section at specific intervals.
Filling Section
The filling section consists primarily of a filling device, an electric pneumatic valve, etc. Set the filling volume according to the requirements and fill the bottle with powder or liquid using the filling device. Once the bottle is in place, the electric pneumatic valve opens and the material flows out. When a specific fill volume is reached, the filling device stops automatically.
Sealing Section
The capping section consists primarily of a capping machine and a heater. After filling, the bottle enters the capping machine to be capped. The heater transfers heat to the closure section via electric heating, heats and melts the material in place, and then fuses it to the closure section of the bottle.
Drying Area
The drying section consists mainly of a heater. After the bottle is sealed, it is sent to the heater to be dried. The heater evaporates the moisture on the bottle’s surface using electric heating to dry the bottle’s mouth.

Electrical component

The electrical components of the automatic filling and capping machine for cosmetics consist primarily of various sensors, pneumatic components, temperature controllers, motors, and PLC controllers.

Control System

The control system of the automatic filling and capping machine for cosmetics consists primarily of a PLC controller and a human-machine interface (HMI). The PLC controller is responsible for controlling the entire machine, while the HMI is responsible for monitoring and operating the machine.

How to Use Automatic Filling and Sealing Equipment

The steps for using the automatic filling and capping machine for cosmetics are as follows:

• Place the material to be filled into the equipment's material hopper.
• Place the cosmetic bottles to be filled on the conveyor belt and set the desired fill volume for each bottle.
• Turn on the equipment, start the machine, and let the conveyor belt automatically transport the bottles to the filling, capping, drying, and other stations.
• After waiting for the equipment to complete all processes, remove the filled, sealed, and dried cosmetic bottles and package them.

Conclusion

The operating principle of the automatic cosmetic filling and capping machine consists primarily of three components: the mechanical part, the electrical part, and the control system. The equipment can perform multiple processes—such as filling, capping, and drying cosmetics—simultaneously, which improves the automation and production efficiency of cosmetics manufacturing and reduces production costs.
