How to Use Cosmetic Filling and Sealing Equipment

Introduction

Cosmetic filling and sealing equipment are machine tools used to carry out various processes such as cosmetic filling, sealing, and drying. This equipment primarily consists of three parts: the mechanical component, the electrical component, and the control system. This article will provide a detailed introduction to the principles of cosmetic filling processes and to automatic filling and sealing machines and equipment.

How to Understand Some of the Equipment for Filling and Sealing Cosmetics

Mechanical section

The mechanical components of cosmetic filling and automatic sealing machines, including the bottle feeding section, filling section, sealing section, drying section, etc.
Bottle/tube feeding section
The bottle feeding section primarily consists of a conveyor belt, bottle position detection, quantitative feeding, and so on. The conveyor belt is driven by a motor to feed empty bottles to the filling section at predetermined intervals.
Filling section
The filling section primarily consists of a filler, an electric pneumatic valve, etc. Set the filling volume according to requirements, and fill powder or liquid into the bottle through the filler. When the bottle is placed in position, the electric pneumatic valve opens and the material flows out. If a specific filling volume is reached, it will stop automatically.
Sealing section
The sealing section primarily consists of a sealing machine and a heater. After filling, the bottle enters the sealing machine for sealing. The heater transfers heat to the sealing section via electric heating, heating and melting the material in the sealing section, and fusing it with the bottle's sealing part.
Drying section
The drying section primarily consists of a heater. After sealing, the bottles are sent to the heater for drying. The heater evaporates moisture on the bottle surface through electric heating to dry the bottle mouth.

Electrical section

The electrical components of the automatic filling and sealing machine for cosmetic filling and sealing equipment primarily consist of various sensors, pneumatic components, temperature controllers, motors, and a PLC controller.

Control system

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

How to Use Automatic Filling and Sealing Equipment

The steps to use the automatic filling and sealing machine for cosmetics are as follows:

• Place the items to be stored into the equipment storage.
• Place the cosmetic bottles to be filled on the conveyor belt and set the filling volume for each bottle according to requirements.
• Turn on the equipment power, start the equipment, and let the conveyor belt automatically transport bottles to the filling, capping, drying, and other stations.
• After waiting for the equipment to complete all processes, remove the filled cosmetic bottles, cap and dry them, and package them.

Conclusion

The principle of the automatic filling and sealing machine process for cosmetics primarily comprises three parts: the mechanical section, the electrical section, and the control system. This equipment can perform multiple processes—filling, sealing, and drying cosmetics—simultaneously, thereby increasing the automation and efficiency of cosmetic production and reducing production costs.
