Automatic Perfume Filling and Cap Pressing
The ZHS-50B combines the main operations required for filling and closing perfume bottles in one automated system. Bottles move through feeding, detection, vacuum filling, closure placement, cap pressing, and finished-product discharge without repeated transfer between separate machines.
The machine is designed for perfume manufacturers, fragrance brands, and contract packaging facilities handling bottles from 1 to 150 ml. Its specified output is up to 35 bottles per minute, depending on the filling volume, bottle shape, closure design, and production setup.
Unlike a standard screw-capping machine, the ZHS-50B uses a pressing process for compatible spray pumps, collars, and closures. Bottle and closure samples are therefore required when configuring the feeding, positioning, and pressing components.
Integrated Perfume Packaging Process
Bottle Feeding
Empty bottles enter the machine through the feeding system and move toward the filling station. Bottle guides and positioning parts are configured according to the container diameter, height, shape, and stability.
Bottle Detection
Photoelectric sensors detect whether a bottle has reached the filling position. The no-bottle, no-fill control prevents the filling cycle from starting when a container is missing, helping reduce spills and unnecessary product loss.
Vacuum Filling
The filling station uses negative pressure to draw perfume into the bottle. This method is suitable for free-flowing liquids and transparent bottles where a consistent visible liquid level is important.
The filling system includes an anti-drip design to reduce residual liquid around the bottle neck and working area after filling.
Closure Placement
After filling, spray pumps, collars, or other compatible closure components are fed and positioned above the bottle neck. The feeding and positioning parts must match the closure dimensions and structure.
Cap Pressing
The pressing station applies controlled downward movement to secure the closure. Correct bottle support and closure alignment are important when handling glass perfume bottles and delicate bottle necks.
Bottle Discharge
Closed bottles leave the working area through the discharge conveyor. They can then be collected for inspection or transferred to compatible labeling, cartoning, or secondary packaging equipment.
1–150 ml Filling Range
The ZHS-50B covers a filling range from 1 to 150 ml. This range includes many sample-size, travel-size, standard, and larger perfume bottles.
Changing the target volume requires recalibration of the filling parameters. Significant changes in bottle format may also require adjustments to the filling-nozzle position and bottle-handling components.
Up to 35 Bottles per Minute
The specified production speed is up to 35 bottles per minute. Actual output depends on:
Target filling volume
Perfume flow characteristics
Bottle size and stability
Spray-pump or collar structure
Closure-feeding performance
Required pressing cycle
Operator and line configuration
Production speed should be confirmed through testing with the intended bottles, closures, and liquid.
≥99% Filling Accuracy
The specified filling accuracy is at least 99% under the correct setup. The final result depends on the filling parameters, liquid properties, bottle consistency, and machine calibration.
≥99% Cap Placement Rate
The specified finished-product rate for cap placement is at least 99%. Closure dimensions and feeding orientation must remain consistent to support stable automatic operation.
Vacuum Filling for Consistent Liquid Levels
Controlled Fill Appearance
Transparent perfume bottles make differences in liquid level easy to see. Vacuum filling controls the filling process according to the selected setup, helping maintain a more consistent appearance across the production batch.
Bottle wall thickness, bottom thickness, and internal volume may vary even when the external bottle dimensions are similar. Sample testing is therefore necessary when determining the required filling result.
Reduced Foaming
Perfume, fragrance sprays, and other free-flowing liquids can produce bubbles during filling. The vacuum filling process helps limit turbulence and reduce visible foaming compared with less controlled filling methods.
The actual result depends on the formula, filling speed, nozzle position, temperature, and bottle-neck dimensions.
Anti-Drip Filling
Residual liquid around the nozzle or bottle mouth can affect packaging appearance and create additional cleaning work. The anti-drip filling structure helps reduce dripping after the filling cycle.
Perfume formulations may contain alcohol or other volatile ingredients. Material compatibility, ventilation, electrical requirements, and the production environment should be reviewed before the machine configuration is approved.
The standard product information does not specify an explosion-proof configuration. Any special safety requirement must be confirmed separately.
Bottle and Closure Compatibility
Glass Perfume Bottles
The ZHS-50B can be configured for compatible glass perfume bottles. Round, square, rectangular, and other bottle shapes may require different guides, holders, or positioning parts.
Heavy-bottomed or irregular bottles should be tested to confirm stable conveying and accurate positioning.
Acrylic Bottles
Compatible acrylic bottles can also be evaluated. Their surface finish and resistance to scratching should be considered when selecting guides and contact parts.
Spray Pumps and Collars
The machine is designed around compatible perfume spray pumps, metal collars, plastic collars, and pressing closures. The following closure details should be provided:
A bottle’s nominal capacity alone is not enough to confirm compatibility. Bottle samples or detailed drawings are required to assess feeding, filling, closure placement, pressing, and discharge.
Large differences between product formats may require dedicated change parts.
Key Machine Stations
PLC Control System
The PLC coordinates bottle feeding, detection, filling, closure handling, cap pressing, and discharge. Operating sequences are matched to the selected product format.
Touchscreen Interface
The touchscreen provides centralized access to operating controls and production settings. Operators can use it to manage the machine cycle and review working status.
Bottle Detection Sensor
The detection system confirms that a bottle is correctly positioned before filling. This supports the no-bottle, no-fill operating logic.
Vacuum Filling Unit
The vacuum filling unit controls liquid transfer into the perfume bottle. Filling components are adjusted according to the required volume, bottle-neck design, and liquid characteristics.
Automatic Closure Feeder
The closure feeder sorts and supplies compatible spray pumps or collars to the placement station. Format-specific feeding parts may be required when the closure design changes.
Cap Pressing Unit
The pressing unit secures the closure after it has been positioned on the bottle. The pressing tool and bottle support must be matched to the bottle neck and closure structure.
Enclosed Working Area
The main operating section is fitted with a protective enclosure. The guarding separates operators from moving assemblies during automatic operation and allows the working area to remain visible.
Stainless Steel Structure
The machine uses stainless steel construction and product-contact components. The required material grade and compatibility with the perfume formula should be confirmed in the final technical agreement.
