In the modern hair wax production process, the hair wax filling machine is undoubtedly one of the core equipment. Its performance and efficiency are directly related to the smoothness of the entire production process and the stability of product quality.

1. Functional characteristics of hair wax filling machine

1. Precise quantitative filling
- The hair wax filling machine can achieve high-precision quantitative filling operation. Whether it is a small-capacity exquisite package or a large-capacity commercial package, it can be accurately filled according to the pre-set value. Its error range can usually be controlled within a very small proportion, such as ±0.5% - 1%. This means that the net content of each bottle of hair wax can be highly consistent, which not only meets the product quality standards, but also protects the rights and interests of consumers and avoids various problems caused by inaccurate filling volume.
2. Multiple filling methods are suitable for different hair wax characteristics
- Piston filling: For high-viscosity hair wax, the piston filling method shows unique advantages. It accurately pushes the hair wax from the storage container to the filling head through the reciprocating motion of the piston in the cylinder, and then injects it into the packaging bottle. This method can effectively overcome the resistance of high-viscosity materials and ensure the stability and accuracy of the filling process.
- Peristaltic pump filling: When the hair wax contains particulate components, peristaltic pump filling becomes an ideal choice. The peristaltic pump relies on the alternating squeezing and relaxation of the flexible hose to transport the hair wax. During this process, the particles will not be damaged by shear force, thus ensuring the texture and composition integrity of the hair wax.
3. Advanced automatic control function
- Modern hair wax filling machines are equipped with intelligent automatic control systems. The operation interface usually adopts a touch screen design, which is convenient for staff to intuitively set various parameters such as filling speed, filling capacity, filling times, etc. In addition, the system also has powerful fault diagnosis and alarm functions. Once abnormal conditions such as no bottle detection, pipeline blockage, and insufficient material occur during the filling process, the filling machine can quickly sense and automatically stop, and at the same time send out a clear alarm signal to prompt the operator to deal with the problem in time. This not only reduces the production interruption time caused by faults, but also improves the safety and reliability of the production process.
4. Material handling function improves the quality of hair wax
- Many hair wax filling machines integrate heating and stirring functions. Due to the large difference in fluidity of hair wax at different temperatures, especially in low temperature environments, hair wax may become thick or even solidified. Through the heating and stirring device, the hair wax can be heated to a suitable temperature and keep it in a uniform texture. In this way, during the filling process, the hair wax can flow more smoothly, which not only improves the filling speed, but also ensures that the quality of each bottle of hair wax is uniform and consistent, avoiding product quality fluctuations caused by temperature differences.

2. Analysis of the filling speed of the hair wax filling machine

The filling speed of the hair wax filling machine is not fixed, but is affected by a combination of factors.

1. Speed ​​differences based on machine types
- Fully automatic multi-head filling machine: This type of filling machine is known for its efficient filling capacity. It is generally equipped with 8-12 or even more filling heads, which can fill multiple packaging containers at the same time. Taking the common 50-100ml capacity hair wax filling as an example, under ideal production conditions, 2000-6000 bottles of filling tasks can be completed per hour. Its high-speed filling capacity is due to the design of multiple heads working at the same time, which greatly shortens the filling time of a single container, thereby improving the overall production efficiency.
- Single-head filling machine: Relatively speaking, the filling speed of a single-head filling machine is relatively limited. Since there is only one filling head in operation, it can only fill about 300-1000 bottles per hour. This type of filling machine is usually suitable for small-scale production, sample making, or scenes with extremely high requirements for filling accuracy and no urgent requirements for production speed.
2. Multiple factors affecting filling speed
- Machine design factors
- Number of filling heads: Obviously, the more filling heads there are, the more containers can be filled in the same time, and the faster the overall filling speed. For example, a 12-head filling machine can handle 12 times the number of containers in the same time as a single-head filling machine, greatly improving production efficiency.
- Machine automation: Filling machines with a high degree of automation can reduce manual intervention in the entire filling process and achieve a smoother production process. For example, a filling machine with automatic feeding function can automatically replenish hair wax when the material is insufficient, without manual addition, avoiding downtime waiting time caused by feeding interruption; the automatic positioning function can ensure that the filling head is accurately aligned with the container mouth, reducing filling deviation and time waste caused by inaccurate positioning; the automatic detection function can monitor the operating status of the equipment in real time, discover potential problems in advance and make timely adjustments, ensuring the continuity of production.
- Hair wax characteristic factors
- Viscosity: The viscosity of hair wax has a direct impact on the filling speed. High-viscosity hair wax will encounter greater resistance when flowing in the pipe and filling head, and its flow speed is relatively slow, resulting in a longer filling process. In contrast, low-viscosity hair wax can pass through the filling system more quickly, improving filling efficiency. For example, some thinner hair wax may complete a bottle of filling in a few seconds, while high-viscosity hair wax may take more than ten seconds or even longer.
- Temperature: Temperature is a key factor in regulating the fluidity of hair wax. When the temperature is low, the viscosity of the hair wax will increase, and it may even solidify, making filling almost impossible. Properly increasing the temperature of the wax can significantly reduce its viscosity and enhance its fluidity. For example, when the wax is heated to 30-40℃, its filling speed may increase several times compared to room temperature. However, the temperature should not be too high, otherwise it may affect the quality and stability of the wax.
- Container-related factors
- Container size and shape: The size of the container directly determines the time required for each filling. Large-capacity containers naturally take longer to complete filling. For example, it takes much longer to fill a 500ml container than a 50ml container. In addition, the shape of the container will also affect the filling speed. Containers with regular shapes, large openings and good compatibility with filling heads can make the filling process smoother and reduce filling time. Containers with complex shapes, small or irregular openings may make it difficult for the filling head to be accurately aligned, or splashing, backflow and other problems may occur during the filling process, thereby reducing the filling speed.
- Container placement and conveying stability: In the filling production line, whether the containers are placed neatly and stably on the conveyor belt and whether the conveying process is smooth are crucial to the filling speed. If the containers are not placed neatly, the filling head may not be properly aligned, and manual or equipment adjustments are required, which wastes time. If the container shakes violently during the conveying process, it will not only affect the filling accuracy, but also cause the filling process to be interrupted, reducing the overall production efficiency.

Understanding these functional characteristics of the hair wax filling machine and the factors affecting the filling speed is of great significance to hair wax manufacturers. Enterprises can reasonably select and optimize filling machine equipment according to their own production scale, product characteristics and market demand, and formulate scientific production processes, so as to improve production efficiency, reduce production costs, and improve product quality, so as to be invincible in the fierce market competition.
