Semi-automatic Heated Vacuum Filling Machine for Cosmetic Mascara

Semi-automatic Heated Vacuum Filling Machine for Cosmetic Mascara

Shanghai Qimeida Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. designs and builds this heated vacuum filling machine for cosmetic manufacturers who need precise, bubble-free filling of high-viscosity and foamy products. As a dedicated Semi-automatic Heated Vacuum Filling Machine for Cosmetic Mascara manufacturer, we integrate vacuuming, positive pressure, stirring, and heating in one compact unit. The machine suits laboratory sampling, small-batch production, and any line where filling accuracy and material integrity are critical.

Our equipment is built with SUS304 stainless steel for all wetted parts, meeting hygiene standards for cosmetic production. With a filling accuracy of 0.2% and automatic pressure control inside the hopper, you get consistent fill weights even with formulations that trap air or require elevated temperatures.

Applications and Material Fit

This machine is designed for foamy and high-viscosity cosmetic materials, including mascara, lip gloss, lip balm, creams, and gels. The integrated heating system, rated at 4 kW with a maximum temperature of 150°C, melts wax-based pastes and keeps them at the required process temperature. Vacuum function removes entrained air before filling, preventing voids and improving product stability.

Typical uses include:

• Mascara and eyeliner filling into tubes or jars
• Lip gloss and lip balm filling
• Cream and gel filling for sample or small production runs
• R&D and pilot plant trials where formulation changes are frequent

Key Specifications

Operation and Control

The machine supports both foot pedal and automatic modes. The foot pedal gives the operator precise control over each fill cycle, which is useful when handling different container sizes or when manual alignment is needed. Automatic mode provides consistent cycle timing for repetitive production. An extended hose design allows the filling nozzle to reach different workstation layouts without moving the entire machine.

Automatic pressure control inside the hopper maintains a stable backpressure, which is essential for achieving the stated 0.2% accuracy. The control panel lets you set fill volume, pressure limits, and heating temperature. We can adjust the control logic to match your specific container and material characteristics.

Heating and Vacuum System

The heating system is sized for wax-based and paste materials. It brings the hopper contents to the required temperature and holds it there, preventing premature solidification. The vacuum function is applied before or during filling to de-aerate the product. We recommend checking the sealing performance before each vacuum cycle to avoid air leaks that reduce defoaming efficiency.

For materials that are sensitive to temperature, the controller allows you to set a maximum temperature limit. During operation, monitor the hopper temperature to stay within your formulation's process window.

Quality and Construction

All parts that contact the product are made of SUS304 stainless steel. This material is corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, and compliant with cosmetic production hygiene requirements. The frame and exterior are also stainless steel, giving the machine a durable, easy-to-sanitize surface.

We perform functional testing before shipment. Each unit is checked for vacuum integrity, heating performance, and filling accuracy. We also provide documentation that includes operating instructions and maintenance guidelines.

Installation and Maintenance

The machine is delivered as a compact, bench-top or floor-standing unit. Installation requires a 220V/50Hz single-phase power outlet and a clean, level surface. No compressed air is needed because the system uses electric and vacuum pumps. The extended hose gives you flexibility in positioning the filling nozzle.

Routine maintenance includes cleaning the hopper, hoses, and nozzle after each production run. Always power off and allow the machine to cool to room temperature before cleaning. Avoid getting water into electrical components. Check seals and gaskets periodically to maintain vacuum performance.

Information We Use to Configure Your Solution

To prepare a precise quotation and configuration, we need the following details from your side:

• Product type and viscosity (e.g., mascara, lip gloss, cream)
• Container size and fill volume range
• Required production rate (fills per minute or per hour)
• Heating temperature needed for your formulation
• Whether you need vacuum de-aeration and to what level
• Available power supply (voltage and phase)
• Any specific material contact requirements (e.g., FDA-grade seals)

With this information, we can recommend the correct nozzle size, hose length, and control settings. We can also discuss integration with upstream mixing or downstream capping equipment.

FAQs

Q: What is the filling accuracy of this machine?

A: The machine achieves a filling accuracy of ±0.2%, thanks to automatic pressure control inside the hopper. This ensures consistent fill weights across a production run.

Q: Can it handle wax-based mascara formulations?

A: Yes. The heating system can maintain temperatures up to 150°C, which is sufficient for melting and holding wax-based mascara bases. The vacuum function removes air bubbles that are common in such formulations.

Q: What power supply is required?

A: The machine operates on 220V/50Hz single-phase power. If your facility uses a different voltage or frequency, contact us to discuss possible adjustments.

Q: How do I clean the machine after use?

A: Turn off the power and allow the machine to cool to room temperature. Then disassemble the hopper, hoses, and nozzle for manual cleaning. Avoid directing water into electrical components.

Q: Do you provide installation support?

A: We provide installation guidance and technical training. Our team can assist via video call to ensure proper setup and operation. For international customers, we offer remote troubleshooting and spare parts supply.
