7. What Is The Working Principles Of Lip Balm Filling Machine?

Working Principles Of Lip Balm Filling Machine - sourced: lehnen industrial service

The working principle of the lip balm filling machine follows the steps below:

• Bulk Tube Elevator. The empty tubes that have been cleaned and sanitized will be uploaded into the bulk tube elevator. The tube elevator will be fed into the counting bowls with a vibrating system.
• After being counted by the vibrating bowl, all the empty tubes are now inserted into the molds with ten in a set in the conveyor belts.
• With the automatic electric eye sensor, the set tubes will be filled with the raw materials set by set.
• After being filled with the hot products, all the filled tube sets will be pushed into the cooling system for better shaping.
• After being cooled down, the set tubes are now transferred to the melting station for re-melting to better occupying the tube packaging.
• After being re-melted, the set tubes are now carried to the cap sorting station. All the caps will be cleaned and sanitized before being uploaded into the cap sorter.
• Inside the cap sorter, all caps will be counted and ink-jet coded before being applied to the tube body.
• After being securely capped, all the tubes will be bottom-coded and film-wrapping packaged.

8. What Are The Main Components In The Lip Balm Filling Machine?

Main Components In The Lip Balm Filling Machine -sourced: kenchi

The lip balm filling machine mainly consists of a stirring motor, 20L heating barrel, filling range adjustment wheel, filling nozzle, pump temperature controller, barrel temperature controller, automatic/manual mode switch, and stirring speed knob.

Stirring Motor

The stirring motor mainly controls the stirring fans inside the barrel for better mixing and blending of the liquid, pastes, and cream materials. After being better mixed, they can be evenly filled.

20L Heating Barrel

The heating barrel can provide you with large-capacity material heating and stirring space. Due to the special material and simple structure, the heating barrel can be heated well without emitting harmful substances.

Filling Range Adjustment Wheel

The filling range adjustment wheel can be adjusted for your different capacity needs. The range can differ from your container volume. The adjustment range usually is from 5ml to 50ml.

Filling Nozzle

There are different volume filling nozzles for your choices. With the anti-drop function, it can precisely control each filling needs. Materials of different materials have different options for filling nozzles. For liquids, you can choose to fill nozzles thinner. For cream or pastes, you can choose slightly thicker filling nozzles.

Pump Temperature Controller

The pump temperature controller is mainly designed for controlling the pump's temperature. In order to avoid the overload of the pump and the temperature soaring during the heating of the mixing tank, which will affect the use of the machine.

Barrel Temperature Controller

During stirring, the barrel is heated to melt the materials that need to be filled. By constantly stirring and melting the materials, they can be mixed evenly, and it is convenient to fill them later.

Automatic/Manual Mode Switch

The automatic/manual mode switch can be applied for adjusting the machine's working mode. You can choose both the automatic filling and the manual filling by the foot-pedal control.

Stirring Speed Knob

The stirring speed knob is specially used to adjust the stirring speed. By judging the thickness of the material, you can manually speed up or slow down the stirring speed.

9. What Are The Dosing And Filling Process For The High Viscosity And Abrasive Pastes In The Lip Balm Filling Machines?

In the lip balm filling process, the most important part is the material dosing and filling. Especially when dealing with high viscosity and highly abrasive paste filling, how does the lip balm filling machine handle it?

Empty System And Dosing Pumps For Dosing Process

When filling abrasive pastes like washing pastes or scrub, common filling systems like gear pumps, and piston fillers usually will not work and may even cause damage to the machine. By employing a special tank emptying system and a dosing pump, it can directly start dosing highly concentrated raw materials. There is not even a need for a self-heating process.

Pressure Control System For Filling Process

When you are filling mascara, before heating the barrel and filling the nozzles, we will install a pressure control system with soft tubes for you. During the filling process, the pressure control system applies pressure to the hose, then enables the materials free flowing.

Lip Balm Filling Lines -sourced: gieni

To make the lip balm filling machine into a line, you need more parts. The lip balm filling line consists of a tube uploading system, materials melting and mixing system, an automatic filling system, a cooling tunnel, and a capping system.

The whole lip balm filling line can automatically achieve the whole process of auto-filling, cooling, re-melting, second cooling, and finished product discharging.

Tubes Uploading System

The tubes uploading system will upload the empty tubes to the tank melting and mixing part by the conveyor belts smoothly and securely. All the tubes will be well-cleaned and sanitized before use.

Mixing And Melting Tank

Before filling the raw materials, they need to be mixed and melted in the heating tank for better mixing. Through heating and fusion, the raw materials will be more delicate and uniform during filling and subsequent use.

Automatic Filling System

The automatic filling system is equipped with an electric eye sensor for better positioning the empty tubes and quick & high filling. There will be no leakage with the filling system.

Cooling Tunnel

After being filled with the hot materials, all tubes will be transferred into the cooling tunnel for better shaping. During the cooling tunnel, the hot materials will be solid and not easy to leak.

Capping System

After all the hot materials have been evenly mixed & melted, and been filled into the tubes, then cooled down, and perfectly solid in the tubes, all the products will be securely and well capped and labeled.
