Perfume filling machine from China

Perfume bottles are thick glass with uneven inside volumes, so a machine that doses the same volume into each leaves the liquid line at different heights across a shelf, and the crimped pump must seal on glass that varies too.

What you are actually comparing.

Two quotes, one machine name

What hides inside the price

Level filling or volume filling

Vacuum or negative pressure heads fill until the liquid reaches the nozzle depth, so every bottle shows the same line. Volumetric pumps give the same dose whatever the glass. Ask which the quote is.

Crimping the pump

Most spray perfumes close with a pump crimped onto the neck, then a collar pressed over it. Ask for the crimp head per neck size, how crimp height is set, and how it is measured on the line.

Alcohol vapour

Perfume is mostly ethanol. Ask whether motors, the vacuum pump and controls near the filling heads are offered as ATEX equipment under 2014/34/EU, and where vapour from the vacuum pump is vented. The zone question is yours to assess.

Where the surplus goes

Level filling pulls surplus liquid back through the vacuum line. Ask where it goes, whether it returns to the tank, and whether it can carry one fragrance into the next.

Holders for heavy, odd bottles

Ask for holders per bottle shape and who pays for each new set.

Before you ask for a price.

Send these with the enquiry. Without them, any number a factory gives you is a guess dressed as a quotation.

Bottles from one carton, plus the pumps and collars.
The neck size, and whether pumps are crimped or screwed on.
Your fragrance and its safety data sheet.
Level or volume: which your label and your customers expect.
Bottles per minute, and how many fragrances you change between in a day.

Turn the claim into a demonstration.

Require this	A pass looks like
Fill a carton of your own bottles on the vacuum level heads.	The liquid line sits at the same height in every bottle, with no drips on the neck.
Crimp a counted run of pumps, prime each one and leave the bottles upside down overnight.	Every pump sprays after priming, no bottle leaks at the crimp, and crimp height stays inside the setting written in the offer.
Change fragrance while timed, vacuum return line included.	No smell of the previous fragrance in the first bottles, checked blind.

The documents that must arrive with it.

EU Declaration of Conformity with model and serial number, under 2006/42/EC until 19 January 2027, then Regulation (EU) 2023/1230.
Low voltage 2014/35/EU and EMC 2014/30/EU references for drives and controls, and ATEX papers under 2014/34/EU if the machine is sold for a vapour area.
Drawings of the crimp heads and bottle holders, per neck size and bottle shape.

The one people forget. The vacuum pump's own manual and declaration. The machine maker often buys it in, and it is the part that handles alcohol vapour.

When this is the wrong machine.

Buy something else if

Named, not hedged

Your fragrance is a body spray sold in a pressurised can.

An aerosol filling machine, which crimps a valve and adds propellant.

You fill samples and testers in small vials by the thousand.

A multi-nozzle vial filler with a simple press cap. Crimp and collar stations add cost you will not use.
