Cosmetic jar filling machine from China

A jar of cream is judged the moment the lid comes off, so the filler must leave a flat, clean surface and seat a liner and a wide cap, while most quotes promise only a dose.

Two quotes, one machine name

What hides inside the price

Surface finish

A rising nozzle or a turning jar leaves a smooth top; a fixed nozzle leaves a peak. Ask to see your cream in your jar.

Hot fill and cooling

Balms and petroleum jelly are poured hot and set in the jar. Ask for a heated hopper and nozzle and a cooling stage, or the surface sinks as it sets.

Liner, disc and cap

Many jars take an inner disc or liner, then a wide cap that needs controlled torque. Ask which placing and capping stations are included.

Jar holders

Ask for pucks or plates per jar size, and the cost of each new set.
