Cartoning Cosmetics Equipment

When it comes to vegan alternative plant-based sources, we always think about replacing meat and dairy. But have you ever thought of replacing food additives such as gelatine, an animal-derived ingredient? Agar-agar is emerging as a seaweed-based alternative. The appeal of agar-agar is that it doesn't need to be refrigerated and can stay at room temperature; it is insoluble in cold water and dissolves well in liquids at over 90° Celsius. You find it in powder format for most industrial applications. But agar-agar processing also delivers flakes or threads for food production.

Agar-agar

Every minute, your skin loses between 30,000 and 40,000 dead skin cells. This means losing millions of cells every day, which makes your skin look less glowing. Being a moisturizing agent, body lotion has the power to hydrate your skin and  give the glow back to it. Production involves water and oil phases, which you then mix with an emulsifier and blend until homogeneous. Preservatives are essential for any solution containing water for the prevention of microbial growth.

Body lotion

The humble chamomile flower holds a rich blend of compounds that soothe body and mind. A natural antidepressant and anti-inflammatory, chamomile oil found its way into the earliest pharmacopeia. As more of its properties were discovered, the oil became an elemental ingredient for a vast range of pharmaceutical and cosmetic recipes. Chamomile oil processing equipment developed at the same speed, offering manufacturers multiple production techniques to extract the liquid from the precious flower.

Chamomile oil

Around a third of your natural protein composition is collagen. But the human body still finds good use for more of it, whether to reinforce joints or aid digestion. Collagen powder processing breaks the chains of amino acids into smaller units, allowing them to be consumed at higher concentrations without changing your diet.

Collagen powder

Did you know that in the 30s, cosmetic creams that contained radioactive material were booming on the market because they promised to reduce wrinkles? Thank God that's no longer the case. To make a cosmetic cream today, you need to create a stable mixture of oil and water and add an emulsifier to join these otherwise immiscible substances.

Cosmetic creams

A cosmetic foundation comes in a powder, cream, or liquid form. And did you know that the liquid form came about because women in the 30s and 40s didn't want to wear stockings? So to cover up their legs, they turned to leg makeup, which played an essential role in our liquid foundation formula. The foundation making process involves balancing the oil and water phase interactions during the formulation stage, mixing ingredients, and packaging using a liquid foundation filling machine.

Cosmetic foundation

Echinacea, also known as coneflowers, are brightly hued flowers with distinguished, cone-shaped flower heads. Over 200 medicines in the world are derived from coneflower extracts. Echinacea processing was introduced by Native Americans who were interested in the plant's medicinal qualities.

Echinacea extract

You can make emulsions by combining two immiscible liquids (oil and water, for example) in a suspension through the use of force. The use of emulsifiers is necessary to keep this mixture stable and permanent.

Emulsions

Koala bears diet exclusively on eucalyptus leaves. But the large concentration of cineole in the tree keeps most other predators at bay. Humans, though, discovered ways to extract the substance and use it as a remedy against inflammations and other diseases. The eucalyptus oil production process keeps evolving to maximize yields, ensuring enough eucalyptus forests for koalas.

If you want to make your eyes more attractive and add depth and dimension to them, applying color to your lids is what it takes. Eyeshadow serves this purpose and is available in powder, liquid, pencil and mousse form. In an eyeshadow production line, compact eyeshadows are produced by grinding and mixing powders before compaction, whereas molded eyeshadows are made from waxes and oils mixed with pigments and then poured into molds. Instead, by mixing oils, gelling agents, elastomers, and pigments you can make a mousse eyeshadow.

Looking beautiful is hard work. Queen Elizabeth I knows this well. Just think she used so many cosmetics and makeup containing toxic materials, especially lead-based face powder, that she even died from them. Today fortunately, you no longer need lead to make face powder. Simply mix pigments, fillers, dry and wet binders, and compress the mixture using a powder compacting press. Then the face powder is ready to be applied using a powder puff.

Face powder

Tissue paper can be traced back to tree fibres. But turning hardwood into soft sheets involves a string of manufacturing processes. Specialized facial tissue making machines adopt industry techniques such as drying and packaging to produce convenient boxes of silky paper.

The easiest and most commonly used method of making gels is mixing gelling agents with water to form a weakly cohesive internal structure. The gel production process is pretty linear and straightforward, from mixing hydrocolloids and water to labeling and sealing containers.

Gels

Star-shaped, lavender-scented, yellow, green, in a dispenser, today’s hand soap comes in a variety of shapes, fragrances, and colors. But whatever type of soap you choose for your good hand-washing habits, the basis of all soap making is mixing animal fats or vegetable oils with an alkali - in this case, a strong base - in a kettle to produce a chemical reaction called saponification.

Invented in 1930 by Max Factor to give movie actresses' lips a brighter, more glossy look, lip gloss is a must-have for kids and adults alike. If you think about it, it's the first makeup product a little girl plays with. Making lip gloss involves the use of lip gloss making equipment for several steps such as melting, mixing and packaging.

Lip gloss

In America was estimated that $1,780 is the number that an average woman spends on lipstick during her life. Putting color on your lips apparently comes at a price and it is $1,780. Making lipstick involves pigment milling, melting of waxes, mixing of ingredients like oils and alcohol, molding and last but not least filling and packaging. Besides ingredients, what lipstick making equipment do you need?

Mascara is a cosmetic makeup used to thicken, lengthen and darken your eyelashes to give brighter, bigger-looking eyes. Made of coal dust and petroleum jelly, the first mascara formula was created during the Victorian era, as Victorian ladies were so vain to spend hours upon hours beautifying themselves. The mascara manufacturing process known today includes the anhydrous and emulsion methods in which both involve a base mixture of pigments, waxes, and oils.

Just when you think you've seen it all, you come to find out that there's nail polish on the market that costs $250,000. Yes, you got it right; two hundred fifty thousand dollars. And to think that the nail polish was originally a cocktail of beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, vegetable dyes, and gum arabic. Today, however, polymers, pigments and solvents are included in the mixture; when the mixture is ready, you can fill the bottles using nail polish filling equipment.

Although dating back to ancient cultures, the production of perfumes has developed tremendously. Usually made by steam distillation, cold-press extraction, or solvent extraction the variation of perfumes and production methods is a vast part of the cosmetic industry. Perfume trends often influence other cosmetic products, leading to the creation of scented makeup, skincare, and haircare items.

Perfume

The wave of liquid soaps and detergents in the 1950s revolutionized home and personal care. Cheap and convenient, these off-the-shelf products fit perfectly into the lifestyle of the time. A few decades later, though, plastic waste put the sustainability of hygiene products into question. Refill tablet production technology answers that by eliminating single-use plastic. Instead of picking up a new bottle every time, end-users complete the formulation process in a multi-use container and with a simple instruction: just add water.

Refill tablets

Rose oil is an essential oil extracted from the petals of either Rosa damascena and Rosa centifolia. Also known as liquid gold, rose oil production originated from Greece and is currently manufactured mainly in Bulgaria, Turkey, and Morocco. Studies have shown that rose oil has medicinal properties, exhibiting anti-inflammatory, anti-infective, and wound healing actions.

The ancient Greeks believed feeding sea buckthorn to their horses would give them a lustrous hide. Indeed, full of lipids and carotenoids, the fruit did contribute to glowing, reddish coats. However, the thorny plant also has benefits for humans. Sea buckthorn processing equipment extracts this unique vegetable oil full of fatty acids. The liquid is a prominent component in various food, cosmetic, and pharmacological preparations.

Sea buckthorn oil

Cosmetic serums are a very light formulation with a high density of active ingredients dispersed in oil, water, or gel. This makes serums well suited to the delivery of vitamins, antioxidants, and anti-aging ingredients, but provide less moisturization and protection. Serum production is mainly divided into stages related to optimal mixing and preventing degradation of the active ingredients.

Serums

Shampoo is a unique form of cleaning agent composed primarily of water and some form of surfactant. This surfactant provides the ability to bind oily substances for removal without leaving a residue, as traditional soaps might. The production process involves the batch mixing of its laboratory-defined formula, quality control, and filling stages.

Shampoo

Sunscreen is an emulsion which can be either oil-in-water or water-in-oil. To create it, you must prepare an oil phase and a water phase separately, then mix and heat them. Homogenization is a key process to guarantee that the product will have the right consistency. When manufacturing sunscreen, give special attention to protection against UV filters.

Sunscreen

Tea tree oil, also known as melaleuca oil, is an essential oil with immune system stimulants produced mainly in Australia. The tea tree oil manufacturing process starts from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia. In terms of market value, the one for tea tree oil was valued at 38.8 million USD last 2017 and is projected to increase to 59.5 million USD by 2025.

It's been estimated that we spend an average of 3,000 hours brushing our teeth. In fact, in our daily routine, toothpaste is something we use at least twice a day. Making toothpaste is a very straightforward process; just mix together water, abrasives, humectants, thickening and foaming agents, sweeteners, and flavors in the right amounts until you get a paste. Once you have added the colors, you can fill a tube with your colorful toothpaste and seal it before being shipped to stores.

During crime scene investigations in any movie, you've probably seen forensic scientists collecting evidence and biological samples in small containers. Here, these are the vials, used to store medicines, especially in liquid form, or laboratory samples. Often made of glass or plastic, vials can be labeled as single-dose vials or sterilized and reused more than once. They are also available with various closure systems depending on the material and storage requirements.

Vials

After being used to contain the blood of martyrs after death or to store the anointing oil of French monarchs, today ampoules are the first choice in packaging injectables. You create ampoules by melting the glass tube into the desired shape and seal them at the neck by melting the top of the glass tube. The only way for you to extract the contents from an ampoule is by breaking the glass at its breaking point, making it perfect for single dose applications only.

Ampoules

Plaster is the quintessential product in a first-aid box. The peel-and-stick dressings stop the bleeding in no time by absorbing the exudate. Made from open-weave cloth or perforated plastic, they are non-occlusive and allow the wound to dry. Plaster is layered, welded, and cut by web-converting technology configured specifically into adhesive bandage making machines.

Your earliest memory of medicine is probably a jar of cough syrup with a plastic dosing spoon attached. Although widely produced as remedies for children, medicated syrups are also available for adults. Making cough syrup starts by dissolving active ingredients into a purified water and sugar solution. But it is the distinct flavorings and colorants that persist in people’s minds long after the illness is cured.

Due to their potential hazardous nature, chemicals are classified for proper identification and safety during production. Chemical classification depends on their properties, structures and functions. In the chemical industry, you can regard them as basic chemicals such as acids, chemical products to produce plastic materials and finished chemicals for use in cosmetology. As a manufacturer or engineer, you want to know their reactivity when using chemical processing equipment.

Filling lines are used extensively in all industries, such as food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and cosmetics, to accurately package different products into a container suitable for that product. Although the filling process is at the very end of the production line, it is no less important than the earlier steps. Last but not least, the idiom that dates back to 1382 when John Wyclif wrote the firste the laste, and the laste the firste, indicates just that the last things on a list are just as valuable as the previous ones. In this case, this idiom fits perfectly.

Pharmaceutical cartridges are glass containers of cylindrical shape, suitable for liquid or solid pharmaceutical dosage forms. Generally, these are designed for a specific apparatus such as pre-filled syringes and autoinjectors. Drugs that can be placed in cartridges using a pharmaceutical cartridge filling equipment include insulin, dental anesthesia, and other emergency drugs for allergies.

Pharmaceutical cartridges

A pre-filled syringe or PFS is a single-dose disposable syringe that is supplied loaded with the substance to be injected. By using a pre-filled syringe filling machine, you can have excellent dosage accuracy due to the exact filling of medications. During administration, safety from potential contaminants is also ensured as they are directly injected after opening. To further minimize the risk of contamination, pre-filled syringes are often filled and sealed in a sterile environment using stainless steel equipment.

When thinking about blister packaging equipment, pharmaceutical products such as capsules or tablets are the first things that come to mind. Blister packs are used to protect pharmaceutical products from humidity and contamination and to extend their shelf life. However, they are also used for food items or consumer goods such as toys. There are two main methods and packaging solutions on which blister machines are based. Thermoforming heats PVC sheets in batches which are then pressed into blister machines to give them the desired shape. Cold forming doesn’t involve any heat and uses aluminum-based laminate film instead of PVC film.

Blister Packaging Equipment

A pouch is a small bag made from a single layer or a multi-layered laminate of paper, foil, and plastic films. The choice of pouch packaging equipment depends on the type of pouch, physical form of the product to be packaged, desired dimensions or volume of the pouch, and whether pouch forming is required or pre-formed pouches will be used. Specialized equipment may be required for the inclusion of a dispensing spout in the pouch or to make the pouch retortable.

Pouch packing equipment

Biopharmaceuticals are drugs in which the active substance is manufactured or extracted from biological origin materials. They are usually produced in bioreactors by plant cells, microbial cells, yeast cultures, or mammalian cells. Also known as biomanufacturing, they are used to either treat or diagnose and prevent a patient’s medical condition or disease. Biopharmaceuticals are typically complex macromolecules administered by injection or infusions, and examples include vaccines, serums, and insulin.

Biopharmaceuticals

Cannabinoids are natural compounds obtained from the Cannabis sativa plant. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or THC is a psychotropic substance. Cannabidiol, or CBD, is non-psychotropic and often used for nutraceutical purposes. Cannabinoid equipment extracts THC and CBD from the plant and prepares the substance for formulations that treat pain, nausea, anxiety, and inflammations. Cannabinoids are processed in various forms, including creams, capsules, and oils.

Cannabinoids

The topical route is a convenient route for the self-administration of drugs. But turning a pharmaceutical formulation into an easy-to-use cream involves specialized cream manufacturing equipment. Topical dosage forms are essentially an emulsion of oil and water.  But the ratios can be changed to process it into lotions, ointments, and gels.

Cream

Parenteral preparations refer to drugs using non-oral means of administration. Injectables, such as needles and syringes, are used to deliver a drug into the systemic circulation directly in the veins, muscles, under the skin, or in the tissue.

These parenteral formulations are pharmaceutical dosage forms that have strict regulations on being sterile, pyrogen-free, and free from visible particulate matter including reconstituted sterile powders. Solutions, suspensions, emulsions, and gels with APIs intended for administration by injection are usually supplied in vials, ampoules, pre-filled syringes, or pens to facilitate ease of use.

The word parenteral comes from Greek and means outside the intestine (para=outside and enteron=intestine). In fact, when it comes to parenterals, we are referring to those dosage forms that are administered directly into the bloodstream using a hypodermic needle, avoiding going through the gastrointestinal tract. Using parenteral filling equipment, parenteral solutions are placed in containers such as vials, syringes, or ampoules.

Parenterals

It is strange how two tablets can belong to the same but at the same time to a different category depending on how the tablet itself is classified. For example, chewable tablets and effervescent tablets have two different routes of administration but both belong to the category of uncoated tablets. Uncoated tablets are prepared by compression of granules in which no coating is added after compression. They may be single-layer or multi-layer tablets.

Uncoated tablets
