In 2017, the market size of cosmetics in my country accounted for 11.5% of the global market, second only to the United States' 18.5%. my country has become the second largest cosmetics user, and the total amount has been rising continuously. So, how are cosmetics filled?
The traditional cosmetic filling method is the one-yuan filling technology. The general one-yuan aerosol filling machine is used for filling. The raw materials and propellant gas are directly mixed in the aerosol can. Since the propellant gas is flammable and explosive, the raw materials in the bottle are also easily contaminated. To address this problem, the binary filling technology has improved the packaging method of the aerosol can and the workflow of the binary aerosol filling machine. Compared with the one-yuan filling, the liquid and gas in the binary spray are separated. The liquid is wrapped in a bag and suspended in the middle of the tank, while the propellant gas is outside the bag, which is safer and more hygienic.
Therefore, in the production process of using the binary aerosol filling machine, first put the valve with the bag into the bottle, seal it and inflate it, fill the compressed air into the bottle, and then force the liquid to be filled in the bag. The propellant is also changed from dimethyl ether, propane, etc. to purified compressed air, so that the raw materials will not corrode the aerosol can and cause leakage. On the other hand, when the raw materials in the bottle are used up, the compressed air in the bottle is not consumed, so it can be repeatedly filled and reused.
For manufacturers who want to produce cosmetic aerosols, in addition to the choice of one-element aerosol filling machines, the products produced by binary aerosol filling machines are undoubtedly safer and more hygienic. Manufacturers can choose small binary aerosol filling machines or fully automatic binary aerosol filling production lines according to their budget and production output.
Small binary semi-automatic equipment has a small investment, small footprint, and is easy to operate and manage. The disadvantage is that the production speed is slow. It is suitable for enterprises that do not have too much demand for output in the early stage, and for enterprise research and development experiments.
The binary fully automatic production line consists of a series of components including bottle unscrambler, binary unit, forced liquid filling unit, weighing system, water bath detection system, automatic coding system, automatic nozzle buckle, automatic cap buckle, etc. It is highly automated and has high production efficiency. In order to improve efficiency, the binary unit and forced liquid filling unit of fully automatic binary filling are generally composed of multiple heads. Commonly, there are 2-head binary units and 4-head forced liquid filling units. The key to correctly and reasonably selecting the required number of heads is to balance the filling volume of product raw materials with the optimal working speed of the equipment.
With the development of science and technology and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, there are more and more aerosol products, and the application fields will continue to expand, and there are still many potential fields to be developed. The equipment for producing such aerosol products includes semi-automatic production equipment and small fully automatic equipment for small enterprises, as well as large-scale assembly line equipment with high production requirements.
