1.Clear Your Cosmetic Product Characteristics
Before selecting a tube filling machine, the first step is to know your product.
Different cosmetic products have different filling requirements.
| Product Type | Recommended Filling Consideration |
|---|---|
| Face cream | High viscosity filling system |
| Lotion | Accurate piston filling system |
| Shampoo | Anti-drip filling nozzle |
| Gel | Stable and precise filling control |
| Toothpaste | Suitable sealing system and High viscosity filling system |
Factors to consider:
1)Product viscosity
2)Filling volume range
3)Product temperature requirements--Need heating filling or filling it under room temperature
4)Whether the product contains particles
5)Whether vacuum filling is required
For high-viscosity cosmetic products, a piston filling system is commonly used to achieve accurate filling and reduce material waste.
2.Choose the Right Tube Type
Tube material affects the sealing method and machine configuration.
Common cosmetic tube types include:
| Tube Type | Application | Sealing Method |
|---|---|---|
| Plastic Tube | Cream, lotion, gel,shampoo, hand cream,conditioner | Hot air sealing or ultrasound sealing |
| Laminate Tube | Cosmetics and personal care products | Hot air sealing or ultrasound sealing |
| Aluminum Tube | Pharmaceutical and ointment products | Folding sealing |
Before purchasing a machine, confirm:
1)Tube diameter--Different sizes may require a mold change. You also need to confirm whether the manufacturer's working range meets your dimensional requirements.
2)Tube length
3)Tube material and sealing type
4)Tube capacity--Filling volume range minimum to maximum
5)A customized tube filling machine can handle different tube sizes according to production requirements.
3.Check Production Capacity Requirements
Production capacity is one of the most important factors when choosing a tube filling machine.
