Full Automatic Case Packer for Cosmetics production line

Product Overview & Core Design:

The Full Automatic Case Packer for Cosmetics production line is a pneumatic + electric dual-mode equipment innovatively developed based on absorbing foreign technology. It features a compact structure, elegant appearance, and a servo drive system that ensures stable operation without shaking. With a low energy consumption of only 5Kw, it adapts to the refined production needs of the cosmetics industry, significantly reducing manual intervention and improving case packing efficiency.

Core Performance & Workflow:

The equipment is equipped with customized bottle grippers, which can be designed as exclusive bottle-gripping mechanisms according to the shape of cosmetic bottles (such as liquid foundation bottles, lipstick tubes, and skincare bottles). The bottle feeding conveyor transports bottles to the bottle collection area, where the bottle divider arranges them into columns for gripping. During packing, the carton remains stationary, and new cartons are supplied simultaneously after packing is completed, maximizing efficiency. The bottle/carton conveyor is driven by an asynchronous motor, and with the cooperation of frequency converters and contactors, it realizes automatic bottle feeding, arranging, carton feeding, and discharging. Two sets of bottle grippers can grasp a specified number of bottles simultaneously, and the distance between them is flexibly adjusted by air cylinders.

Safety & Operation Advantages:

The Full Automatic Case Packer for Cosmetics production line is equipped with safety doors and multiple sets of safety protection detection devices to eliminate operational safety hazards. It adopts an open touchscreen operation, with built-in fault codes and solutions. When a fault occurs, the problem can be quickly located, improving maintenance efficiency by 60%. It also supports real-time modification of operating parameters to adapt to the packing needs of various specifications of cosmetics.

Intelligent Human-Machine Interaction, Visualized Operation:

The Full Automatic Case Packer for Cosmetics production line is equipped with a human-machine interface touchscreen, enabling in-depth human-machine dialogue. It displays the cosmetic case packing speed (unit: cartons per minute) in real time, allowing managers to control the production rhythm. When the equipment encounters faults such as bottle jamming or carton shortage, the interface accurately marks the fault cause (e.g., "pneumatic bottle stop fault") and location (e.g., "conveyor end cylinder"). No professional is needed for troubleshooting; ordinary operators can handle it according to prompts. The automation degree reaches over 95%, reducing productivity losses caused by fault downtime.

Dual Control of PLC & Frequency Conversion, Reliable System:

Adopting a PLC programmable logic controller and frequency conversion control system, it precisely controls the entire process of cosmetic bottle sorting, gripping, and packing. The PLC has fast communication capabilities, enabling real-time reception of signals from various components (such as bottle gripper pressure and conveyor speed). Combined with powerful diagnostic functions, it can early warn of potential faults (e.g., abnormal frequency converter parameters). Frequency conversion control can flexibly adjust the conveyor speed to adapt to the transportation needs of different specifications of cosmetic bottles (such as slender lipstick tubes and short, fat cream jars). Operation only requires modifying parameters on the touchscreen without disassembling mechanical parts. The compact structure does not occupy extra workshop space, and the system runs continuously without faults for over 8,000 hours.

Four-Level Pressure Reduction Protection, Eliminating Bottle Tipping Risks:

The Full Automatic Case Packer for Cosmetics production line innovatively adopts a four-level pressure reduction design to ensure stable transportation of cosmetic bottles from the source. The first-level pressure reduction is achieved through the speed difference between the bottle feeding conveyor and the front conveyor to avoid bottle stacking and collision. The pneumatic bottle stop device provides the second-level pressure reduction to reduce the impact force of bottle transportation. The conveyor end cylinder implements two levels of pressure reduction to further buffer the speed. The four-fold protection fully reduces the pressure of cosmetic bottles, with the alignment error between the bottle gripper and the bottle ≤ 0.3mm. When entering the packing process, the bottles are in a pressure-free and stable state, and the bottle tipping rate is controlled below 0.1%, perfectly protecting the cosmetic bottle body and labels and avoiding product loss and rework caused by bottle tipping.

Pre-Startup Preparation (5 minutes):

Check the equipment appearance to ensure the safety door is closed and the bottle grippers are undamaged. Connect the three-phase 380V power supply and 0.6-0.8mpa compressed air, and start the main switch. Enter the "Parameter Setting" interface through the touchscreen, input parameters such as the number of bottles to be gripped and conveyor speed according to the specifications of the cosmetic bottles (e.g., diameter, height) and carton size. After completion, click "Self-Inspection"; the system will automatically detect the status of each component and enter the standby mode after passing the self-inspection.

Operation (2 minutes):

Put empty cartons into the carton feeding mechanism and pour cosmetic bottles into the bottle feeding conveyor. Click the "Auto Run" button on the touchscreen to start the Full Automatic Case Packer for Cosmetics production line. The bottle feeding conveyor transports bottles to the bottle collection area, the bottle divider arranges them into columns and transports them to the to-be-gripped position. The bottle grippers grasp the bottles and accurately place them into the stationary carton. After packing, new cartons are supplied synchronously to start the next cycle. During operation, the production speed and equipment status can be viewed in real time on the touchscreen; click the "Emergency Stop" button if an abnormality is found.

Shutdown & Cleaning (8 minutes):

After completing the production task, click the "Stop" button. After the equipment resets, cut off the power supply and air source. Wipe the surface of the bottle grippers and conveyor with a dust-free cloth to remove residual stains from cosmetic bottles (use a neutral detergent to wipe if there is oil). Check the wear of the silicone pads of the bottle grippers and replace them in time if damaged. Finally, record the daily production quantity and equipment operation status to prepare for the next startup.

Q1: Can it adapt to special-shaped cosmetic bottles (e.g., diamond-shaped lipstick tubes)?

A1: Yes, exclusive bottle-gripping mechanisms can be customized according to the shape of special-shaped bottles, with design and production completed in 3-5 days, no need to replace the main equipment.

Q2: How to solve the fault prompt "bottle gripper alignment deviation"?

A2: Enter the "Parameter Calibration" interface on the touchscreen, re-adjust the position parameters of the bottle gripper, or check if the conveyor is offset; it can be solved within 10 minutes.

Q3: What is the daily power consumption of the equipment?

A3: The power consumption during operation is 5Kw, and 1Kw during standby. Calculated based on 8 hours of operation per day, the average daily power consumption is about 42 kWh, with low energy consumption.
