Situation
Cosmetic viscosity spans a wide range: a gel that barely flows on one side, water-thin tonic and lotion on the other. Buying separate machines raised investment and floor space.
Thick gel clogged a narrow nozzle and weights drifted; the thin product dripped and overflowed on the same setting. Operators hunted for new settings at every changeover.
- –Viscosity spanned gel to tonic
- –Clogging and weight drift on thick gel
- –Drip and overflow on thin product
- –Re-tuning at every changeover
Solution
SORM Pro answers the whole range with gun dispensing and a 7-inch touchscreen: a wide-bore gun at low speed for thick gel, a fine nozzle and fast cut-off for thin product.
Up to 20 recipes are stored. On a changeover the operator recalls the recipe and pump, timing and pressure settings arrive ready.
- ✓Gel and thin liquid on one machine
- ✓Up to 20 stored recipes
- ✓7-inch touchscreen changeover
- ✓0.5% filling accuracy
- ✓AISI 304 / 316 stainless body
Result
One machine replaced two. Floor space and investment dropped, and maintenance and spare parts moved to a single point.
Recipe recall shortened changeovers and reduced operator error. Several viscosities can run on the same day.
