Manual filling is slow, messy and hard to scale. That is why more and more cosmetic businesses are turning to automated face cream filling lines to improve production and product quality. But here is the thing – not every filling machine is the right fit for every business. Before you make the investment, there are a few important factors you need to consider.
In this blog, we will discuss the factors you need to consider about before purchasing a face cream filling line — from learning about your production requirements to selecting suitable packaging equipment. This guide will help you to make a smart decision no matter you are startups or seeking to expand an existing operation.
Type of face cream product
One key factor to consider when selecting face cream filling lines is to learn about the product type you wanna manufacture. Different creams vary in viscosity and formulations. Some creams are thick and creamy, while others are gel-based or semi-liquids. The viscosity of products determines the type of filling machines. It will also affect the overall efficiency of production lines.
For thick and creamy formulations, it is better to choose piston pump or rotor pump filling machines. These filling machines can offer high accuracy and consistent control when handling high-viscosity products, such as face moisturizers. However, if your products are more gel-like or have lower viscosity, it is better to choose peristaltic pump fillers that can precisely dispense thinner liquids.
Special care should be taken when packaging face creams with multi-phase formulas or containing sensitive ingredients. Some formulations may require gentle handling to prevent separation. In such cases, choosing a filling machine with adjustable flow rates and gentle filling mechanisms is important to maintaining product integrity and consistency.
Production volume and throughput requirements
You also need to understand your current and future production volume before selecting a face cream filling line. If you are just testing the waters or producing small batches, it might make sense to start with a semi-automatic or modular system that offers flexibility and lower initial costs.
However if your goal is to mass-produce or expand rapidly, a fully automatic line is more appropriate. Automated systems can fill hundreds to thousands of containers per hour with little human intervention, greatly increasing throughput and reducing labor costs. A line capable of handling higher throughput also provides the flexibility to meet increased demand without bottlenecks
Packaging design and container compatibility
Another important aspect is the type of packaging you plan to use. Are you filling jars, tubes, pump bottles, or squeeze tubes? The design and shape of your containers will influence the choice of your filling line.
Investing in flexible packaging equipment is valuable, which can handle different shapes and sizes of containers. For example, if you use cosmetic jars with screw-type lids, and want to include capping and labeling process in your production, it is better to choose filling lines which can be adjusted for different containers. This can ensure smooth production and consistent packaging accuracy.
Consider the aesthetics as well. Precise filling and sealing contribute to the product’s visual appeal, which is very helpful in the competitive skincare market. An automated line that can handle various containers without sacrificing consistency will help you maintain high-quality standards and deliver an attractive finished product.
