Automatic Cosmetic Filling Line
A fully automatic cosmetic filling line from HIJ — servo-driven filling, capping, labeling, coding and cartoning that runs end to end with minimal labor.
What is an automatic cosmetic filling line?
An automatic cosmetic filling line is a synchronized series of machines that fills, caps, labels, codes and cartons cosmetic products with little or no manual handling. In a fully automatic configuration, containers are fed, filled to ±0.5%, closed, decorated, coded and packed end to end — typically with just 1–2 operators supervising.
HIJ builds the line around your products and output, with servo dosing, PLC + touchscreen control and recipe-based changeover. Choose semi-automatic, automatic or fully automatic — then scale up later. Every line is GMP-ready, CE documented and factory acceptance tested before shipment.
More output, fewer hands, consistent quality
A fully automatic line removes the bottlenecks of manual filling and the variability that comes with it.
Higher Throughput
Servo motion and synchronized stations push far more units per shift than manual or semi-automatic filling.
Lower Labor Cost
A fully automatic line typically needs just 1–2 operators, cutting labor cost and human error.
Consistent Accuracy
±0.5% servo dosing protects fill weight and reduces giveaway on every container.
Fast Changeover
Recipe memory stores fill, cap, label and speed settings per product for quick format changes.
GMP Hygiene
SUS304/316L contact parts, tool-free strip-down and CIP-ready options keep the line clean and compliant.
Traceability & Data
PLC + HMI logs batch, count and downtime, with optional line data output for OEE tracking.
A fully automatic line in 6 synchronized stages
Automatic feeding
An unscrambler or feeder presents empty containers and indexes them into the line.
Servo filling
Piston or flow-meter nozzles dose creams, serums or lotions to ±0.5% with anti-drip control.
Capping / sealing
Caps, pumps or droppers are placed and torqued; tubes and sachets are heat-sealed automatically.
Labeling & coding
Wrap-around or front/back labels are applied and batch/expiry codes printed inline.
Cartoning
Filled containers and leaflets are automatically loaded into folding cartons.
Case packing
Cartons are collated into shipping cases, ready for the pallet — end of line.
Line built around tubes? For sunscreen and cream products, the filling station is the TF-60 tube filling and sealing machine — two units run in parallel for outputs above 50 tubes/min.

Semi-automatic, automatic or fully automatic
Match the automation level to your volume and budget — and upgrade as you grow, without replacing what you already own.
Semi-automatic
Operator-assisted filling and capping — lowest cost, ideal for startups and small batches.
Automatic
Inline automatic filling through coding — steady, mid-volume production with few operators.
Fully automatic
End-to-end from feeding to case packing with 1–2 operators — for high, consistent output.
One partner to design, build & automate your line
HIJ designs, builds and exports cosmetic packaging machinery from our own factory — not a trading desk. We integrate the whole automatic line as a system, so you get matched machines, one point of contact and one warranty.

Automatic cosmetic filling line FAQs
What is an automatic cosmetic filling line?
It is a synchronized series of machines that fills, caps, labels, codes and cartons cosmetic products with little or no manual handling. A fully automatic line runs end to end from container feeding to case packing.
What is the difference between automatic and fully automatic?
An automatic line automates the core inline steps (filling through coding), often with manual feeding or packing. A fully automatic line automates everything from container feeding to cartoning and case packing, needing only 1–2 operators.
How many operators does a fully automatic line need?
Typically just 1 to 2 operators to supervise, load materials and handle changeovers, which significantly reduces labor cost compared with manual or semi-automatic filling.
Can one line handle different products and containers?
Yes. Recipe memory and change parts let one line run creams, serums and lotions across jars, bottles, tubes, ampoules or sachets, with quick format changeover.
Is the line GMP and CE compliant?
Yes. Contact parts are SUS304/316L stainless with CIP-ready options, the design is GMP-ready, and the line ships with CE documentation after full factory acceptance testing.
Can I start semi-automatic and upgrade later?
Yes. HIJ designs modular lines so you can begin with core stages and add automation, formats or end-of-line equipment as volume grows, without replacing existing machines.
