Personal care items can range from liquid soaps to shampoos and toothpastes, while household products can include air fresheners and dishwashing liquid.  These items, as you can tell from those mentioned above, can range from free-flowing low viscosity products to thick liquids and pastes.  The packaging machinery used on a personal care or household products packaging line will depend on the product itself.

A typical packaging line for personal care products or household products is shown below:

This system includes:

• A overflow filling machine for consistent, level fills;
• A spindle capper for continuous container capping;
• Turntables for container loading and product accumulation;
• A power belt conveyor system to move containers through the packaging process.

This typical packaging system will not be ideal for every personal care or household product.  As noted above, personal care products and household products come in a variety of forms, some thin and free-flowing, others thick and viscous. 

Liquid Packaging Solutions has created unique packaging systems for nearly the entire range of viscosities in the personal care and household goods industries.  Each of the products in these industries offer unique packaging challenges.  For example, a recent application included an air freshener with dual scents, requiring a filling machine that could quickly and efficiently fill both scents on the same container in small doses. 

LPS not only manufactures a range of automated systems for the personal care and household products industries, but can design and create manual and semi-automatic systems as well.  These manual and semi-automatic packaging systems are ideal for facilities with lower production or for special product runs.

Additional packaging machinery can be added to a personal care or household products packaging system.  These packaging machines may include, but are not limited to, a rinsing machine for container cleaning prior to filling, a labeler to quickly and efficiently apply labels to containers and/or a pallet wrapper to get products ready to ship.
