The market relies on individual, small batches in the production of cosmetics

Filling system for flexible cosmetic production.

Flexible dosing systems enable quick product changes in cosmetic filling Cosmetic production is undergoing a change. It is becoming increasingly important to fill small batches of various products in a short space of time. Previously, it was common to produce larger batches and store them. Today, however, it is necessary to be able to react quickly to market needs.

This small batch filling poses a challenge for companies. Not only must rules be adhered to in terms of cleanability, but also the flexibility of the production unit must be specified. In addition to the statutory and market standards, there are still the requirements that the product entails to be considered. The filling line must be able to process simple creams just as well as highly abrasive materials. Under the strictest hygienic conditions, the ViscoTec Hygienic Dispenser guarantees the perfect filling of fluids, highly viscous, abrasive liquids and even pastes. Subsequently, many different products can be filled with the same dispenser - from body lotion to mascara to scrubs. The viscosity-independent dosing principle enables precise filling even in the event of temperature fluctuations during production. No matter which material is to be filled, the handling of any dosing system from ViscoTec is totally flexible.

To enable a quick product change and to avoid unnecessary and expensive service life, short cleaning times are particularly important. The Hygienic Dispenser can therefore be cleaned in its disassembled state or inline using the CIP procedure. Should the pump be removed, it can be disassembled within a minute and cleaned as required. The Hygienic Dispenser can be used in the filling line as a feeding and dosing element with the highest precision. Thanks to the space-optimized design of the dispenser, even small batches can be filled efficiently with minimal product loss. This saves time and, above all, money and makes it possible to react quickly to the demands of both customers and market.
