Project Showcase | Custom Cream Jar Filling and Dual-Capping Line

Empowering a European Cosmetics Giant with Intelligent Automation

🧴 Client Profile

Industry: Cosmetics & Personal Care
Region: Western Europe
Product: Face Cream in Wide-Mouth Jars
Project Year: 2024

In 2024, a renowned European cosmetics manufacturer partnered with Yuanyang Machinery to expand into the high-end face cream segment. Seeking more than just standard equipment, the client needed a highly automated production line that could seamlessly fill viscous cream, insert inner lids, and apply outer caps—while preserving the visual and structural integrity of their luxury packaging.

Through our official website, the client discovered our extensive experience in customized filling machines and capping machines, and soon contacted our engineering team with detailed requirements and sample jars.

🔍 Project Challenges

• High-viscosity cream required accurate and clean filling

• Packaging involved two-stage capping: inner lid + outer screw cap

• Jars made of premium glass and plastic demanded delicate handling

• Manual processes would be too slow and labor-intensive

• The solution needed to be space-efficient and fully automated

•

🚀 Key Benefits of the Automated Production Line

Yuanyang’s custom-built automated system brought measurable improvements to the client’s skincare production. Here are five standout advantages:

1. Increased Efficiency

With up to 35 jars per minute, the automated line dramatically boosted output compared to manual processes. The integrated filling machine and capping machine work in perfect sync for continuous, high-speed production.

2. Labor Cost Reduction

The full automation of jar filling, inner lid insertion, and outer capping eliminated the need for multiple manual operators, reducing labor costs by over 60%.

3. Consistent Packaging Quality

Every jar is filled, sealed, and capped with precise control—minimizing leakage, variation, and customer complaints. The automated capping machine ensures proper torque every time.

4. Hygienic, GMP-Compliant Operation

Built with SS304/316L stainless steel and easy-to-clean design, the line meets international Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for cosmetics production.

5. Faster Time to Market

Automation helped the client launch their new product line weeks ahead of schedule. Changeover between jar sizes is quick thanks to touch-screen controls and modular components.
