Quick answer
A cosmetic filling machine is automated equipment that doses creams, lotions, serums, gels, oils and liquids into tubes, bottles, jars, ampoules or sachets with repeatable accuracy. HIJ cosmetic filling machines use servo-driven piston or peristaltic dosing to hold ±0.5% fill accuracy, run 30–50 tubes/min on tube fill-and-seal systems and up to 100 pcs/min on liquid fill-seal formats, with 316L stainless-steel contact parts and Siemens PLC control. Entry pricing starts at US $19,500 FOB and standard configurations ship in about 30 working days.
±0.5% fill accuracy — servo-driven volumetric dosing protects margins on every fill from 5 ml samples to 250 ml tubes.

The basics
What Is a Cosmetic Filling Machine?
A cosmetic filling machine is an automated system that accurately doses cosmetic products — creams, lotions, serums, gels, oils and liquids — into containers such as tubes, bottles, jars, ampoules or sachets. HIJ cosmetic filling machines pair servo-driven mechanical-piston or peristaltic dosing with PLC + touch-screen control to hold ±0.5% volumetric accuracy across viscosities from thin toners to thick body butters.
A typical HIJ tube filling & sealing cycle runs five automated stages: tube feeding → benchmarking (color-code orientation) → filling with tail-cut for viscous product → hot-air sealing → batch-number printing and discharge. "No tube, no filling" logic, door-open interlocks and low-air-pressure alarms are standard, so the machine protects both operators and product.
Unlike a single-purpose filler, an HIJ system can be supplied as a standalone filling machine or integrated with capping, sealing, labeling and cartoning into a complete turnkey line under one PLC. Every machine is built to your exact container, formulation and target output. For the full product family, see our cosmetic packaging machines hub, or read what a cosmetic filling machine is and how it works in depth.

Buyers often ask why our delivery clock only starts after we receive their actual tube samples, not just drawings. The reason is simple: the tube, not the machine, decides whether your seal holds. Two tubes with identical diameters can behave completely differently under hot air depending on the laminate structure, and I have seen production launches slip weeks because a mold was cut against a spec sheet instead of a physical sample.
My rule for every cosmetic filling project: send us your real tubes and your real product before anything is machined. We run the fill, the tail-cut and the seal on your material, then confirm the mold. It costs a few days up front and saves you a month at commissioning.
Buyer guidance
How to Choose the Right Cosmetic Filling Machine
Match four variables — product, container, output and compliance — and the machine chooses itself.
1. Match your product viscosity
Thin liquids (toners, serums, oils) suit piston or peristaltic dosing; thick creams and body butters need a jacketed heated hopper, stirring device and tail-cut function to prevent stringing.
2. Match your container
Tubes need a tube fill & seal machine; bottles and jars need a piston filler with the right capper; single-dose samples need a sachet or ampoule fill-seal format.
3. Match your target output
30–50 tubes/min covers most growing brands; scaling past that means multi-nozzle fillers or a fully automatic line with capping, labeling and cartoning integrated under one PLC.
4. Plan changeover & compliance
Multiple SKUs? Budget one extra mold per tube diameter (US $1,000 each on TF-60). Exporting? Confirm CE marking, cGMP-ready design documentation and ISO 22716-aligned hygiene practices up front.
How much does a cosmetic filling machine cost?
HIJ publishes real reference pricing: the TF-60 automatic tube filling & sealing machine starts at US $19,500 FOB including one mold set and water chiller.

Common questions
Cosmetic Filling Machine — FAQ
What is a cosmetic filling machine?
A cosmetic filling machine is an automated system that accurately doses cosmetic products — creams, lotions, serums, gels, oils and liquids — into tubes, bottles, jars, ampoules or sachets. HIJ cosmetic filling machines use servo-driven piston or peristaltic dosing with Siemens PLC control to hold ±0.5% volumetric fill accuracy.
How much does a cosmetic filling machine cost?
HIJ's TF-60 automatic tube filling and sealing machine starts at US $19,500 FOB including one mold set and water chiller, and a GGS-series liquid filling and sealing machine is around US $20,800 FOB. Options such as an extra tube mold (US $1,000) or a heated jacketed hopper with stirring (US $2,500) are quoted line by line, and every machine is priced to your exact product, container and output.
How fast is a cosmetic tube filling machine?
The HIJ TF-60 tube filling and sealing machine runs 30–50 tubes per minute across a 5–250 ml fill range, handling tube diameters of 13–50 mm and lengths of 50–210 mm. Liquid fill-seal formats reach about 100 pcs per minute at 10 ml fills.
Can one cosmetic filling machine handle creams, lotions and serums?
Yes. With the right dosing system, a jacketed heated hopper and a tail-cut function for viscous product, a single HIJ filler can be configured for viscosities ranging from thin serums to thick body butters. For very different products, we confirm your full SKU list first so the nozzle and changeover parts are specified correctly.
Are HIJ cosmetic filling machines CE and GMP certified?
HIJ cosmetic filling machines are CE-marked and built to a cGMP-ready hygienic design with 316L product-contact stainless steel, manufactured under an ISO 9001 quality system, and the build supports ISO 22716 cosmetic GMP practices. Validation (IQ/OQ/PQ) is performed by the customer, and HIJ provides the documentation support needed for your qualification and audits.
What is the lead time for a cosmetic filling machine?
Standard configurations ship in about 30 working days after prepayment and confirmation of your tube or container samples; fully customized lines take longer. Exact lead time is confirmed with your quotation, which HIJ returns within 72 hours.
What warranty and after-sales support does HIJ provide?
Every HIJ cosmetic filling machine carries a 12-month warranty with free replacement of quality-related spare parts shipped by fast courier, plus lifetime maintenance support. On-site installation and commissioning by HIJ technicians is available worldwide.
Which industries use HIJ filling machines besides cosmetics?
The same servo-dosing platforms run in pharmaceutical, food and daily-chemical production — ointments, oral liquids, honey sachets and disinfecting wipes — so cosmetic brands that expand into adjacent categories can stay on one machine architecture and one supplier.
