Manufacturing fillers dedicated to the chemical/cosmetic market means, first of all, understanding the requirements of the end-users. Nowadays Customers require flexible machines: this requirement is felt by both the big and the small users, generated by the universal reduction of the lots and by the simultaneous product differentiation.

In a previous post  we already argued about the production of mixed cases.

Another aspect, responding to the demand of flexibility, refers to the quicker and more efficacious wash-up process, achieved thanks to an extreme simplification of the relevant parts of the project.

Today it is possible to fill, through the same machine, shampoos with different fragrances, hair conditioners, hair-comb creams, without any risk of contamination by product residuals.

As a matter of fact, in the Fillers produced by Ronchi the wash-up of the parts in direct contact with the product is achieved by a simple flow of the washing solution, that can be recycled by means of the customized CIP system. After the wash-up operation, the parts in contact with the product can be sterilized with disinfectant solution or with steam up to 130°C. (S.I.P.).

Moreover, the lack of a reservoir dramatically reduces the quantity of detergent (max 15 liters for the filler), thus allowing a remarkable saving if we consider the high costs bound to the disposal of washing solutions.

The packaging industry has undergone through the years a growing demand for more and more advanced technological solutions. Mainly the big stores, bound to the cosmetic and chemical products, keep on looking for such filling and capping solutions capable to respond to their diversified requirements in an extremely flexible way.

Ronchi has realized a new family of Fillers that, thanks to a patented device, allow the in-line mixing of perfumes / addictives to the basic product through the same working cycle.

This system contemplates to feed all filling stations with the same basic product to which the different colorations or fragrances are added in correspondence of each single filling station according to the specific Customer’s requirement. Every bottle can then be personalized during the capping operation as well.

The mixed bottles are so  ready to be directly case-packed and sent to the stores.
