Which filling machine is best for face cream?

Quick answer

The best starting point is a piston or positive-displacement pump route with nozzle shutoff and product supply matched to viscosity. Confirm it by trial because face cream is is high viscosity and presentation-sensitive, and the route must also suit jars, airless packs or tubes, the fill range, cleaning regime and required good output.

01

What should I check first?

Record the machine state and the finished result before changing settings. This helps identify where control is first being lost.

  • Confirm the production condition of face cream: is high viscosity and presentation-sensitive.
  • Measure the limiting pack details for jars, airless packs or tubes, including opening, stability and fill range.
  • Check that product reaches the machine through a controlled positive-displacement feed with air exclusion where required.
  • Record ten consecutive fills by weight and note the product temperature, density or batch condition.
  • Confirm the product supply remains stable at minimum and maximum hopper or tank levels.
02

Why is this production problem happening?

Work from the evidence and change one variable at a time. These are the most relevant causes to investigate first.

  • The selected method does not accommodate that face cream is is high viscosity and presentation-sensitive.
  • Product condition changes between the sample, start-up and a sustained run.
  • Pack tolerance or presentation is influencing the measured result.
  • The dosing principle is unsuitable for viscosity, particles, aeration or accuracy.
  • Product conditions are changing during the run.
03

How can I correct or improve it?

Make a controlled change, repeat the same measurement and compare the result before moving to the next adjustment.

  • Trial face cream using representative production batches and the full pack matrix.
  • Use a piston or positive-displacement pump route with nozzle shutoff and product supply matched to viscosity.
  • Plan changeover around this requirement: use the approved cosmetic cleaning and batch-clearance process.
  • Stabilise product temperature, mixing and supply before retuning.
  • Test a representative product and pack matrix across the full fill range.
Prepare your application

What should I send Lancing?

The most reliable recommendation is based on representative production materials and a measurable acceptance result.

  • Representative sample of Face cream
  • All relevant jars, airless packs or tubes
  • Target fill and tolerance
  • Required accepted output
  • Photographs or video of the current process
  • Product name and a sample or SDS where relevant
  • Viscosity, temperature, particles, foaming and density

Why does this problem happen with face cream?+

The selected method does not accommodate that face cream is is high viscosity and presentation-sensitive.

How can I improve or correct the problem with face cream?+

Trial face cream using representative production batches and the full pack matrix.

Which part of the production line does this question relate to?+

This question relates primarily to filling & dosing. It may also be affected by upstream product or pack supply and by downstream handling, so check the full production sequence rather than one machine in isolation.

What should I send when asking for a machinery recommendation?+

Send Representative sample of Face cream; All relevant jars, airless packs or tubes; Target fill and tolerance; Required accepted output. Representative production samples and a measurable acceptance target are normally more useful than a catalogue description alone.
