Ceepackaging

The Rexam Turbo InsertÔ, designed to powerfully boost the sprayed application of emulsions, gels and lotions as high as 100-times the viscosity of water, is now available to makers of personal care products in markets such as sun care, hair care and body care.

Lip gloss and mascara – two products that, owing to their viscosity alone, require specific expertise and a lot of experience. In this application it was furthermore necessary to feed containers that are supplied on trays in a variable and undefined position to an automated packaging process in a gentle, effective and accurate manner. The Kugler GmbH, part of the Optima Group (Schwäbisch Hall) developed and supplied a suitable turnkey packaging solution – including the robot technology.

Cleaning weight filling machines and treating effluents represent a non-negligable expense. Treatment expenses (water, detergents…) are added to the cost of machine down-time. These unproductive and environmentally-unfriendly procedures are issues focused on by fillers, open to any suggestions that will reduce the impact of these negative factors. One solution consists of getting rid of the product tank, thereby reducing cleaning time and costs.
