In the cosmetics industry, filling creams, gels and other semi-viscous formulas requires strict quality and hygiene standards. Poor handling can compromise product integrity, cause material losses or damage brand image.

Choosing the right filling equipment
The choice of machine is crucial. For products such as lotions, creams, balms and gels, which often vary in viscosity, it is preferable to opt for:
-
- Piston or pump fillers
- Systems compatible with foaming products
- A filling circuit in 316L stainless steel for optimal resistance to chemicals and cleaning protocols
At CDA, we offer several filler models for cosmetic packaging, such as:
-
- K-Net: semi-automatic filler, ideal for small to medium production runs.
- K-NET AUTO: automatic filler, designed for medium to high outputs, suitable for standalone use or inline integration.
- K-Line: fully guarded automatic filler, engineered for higher speeds and inline installation.

Implementing an effective cleaning system
Using a filling machine requires meticulous cleaning of all components in contact with the product (pipes, pump, and other contact parts). This cleaning time must be factored into ROI calculations, as some manufacturers design machines with better cleanability than others.
-
Monitoring Filling Accuracy
Maintaining precise volumes is essential to ensure product compliance. A wide range of settings and tooling options make it possible to achieve consistent, accurate and homogeneous filling.
-
Working with compatible containers
It is important to adapt the filling machine to the types of containers used. Hygienic filling of creams and gels relies on the combination of suitable equipment, a controlled environment and rigorous protocols.
At CDA, we design fillers such as the K-Net, K-Net Auto and K-Line, capable of handling even the most complex formulations with accuracy, hygiene and reliability.
