Filling Thick Gel and Thin Liquid on One Machine

One plant filled both a very thick shadow gel and thin lotions and tonics. SORM Pro covered both ends of the range with a single machine.

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.
