The ZUNGWAN ZHJM-1647M is an automatic lip gloss filling, plugging and capping machine for small cosmetic containers. It brings three essential packaging operations into one coordinated system: dispensing the product, inserting the plug or wiper, and tightening the brush cap.
The machine supports a filling range of 5–20ml and a published production capacity of 40 pieces per minute. PLC control, optical container detection and adjustable packaging components make it suitable for cosmetic factories that need consistent production across compatible lip gloss formulas and container formats.
Lip gloss packaging involves more than dispensing a measured volume. The container, wiper, applicator stem and outer cap must work together as one package.
The ZHJM-1647M organizes the process into the following stages:
The empty container is positioned at the working station.
The filling system dispenses the preset volume.
The plug or wiper is inserted into the container neck.
The brush cap is positioned for closure.
The capping station tightens the cap.
The completed package leaves the operating position.
Coordinating these stages reduces the amount of manual handling between filling and closure assembly. It also provides a more repeatable process for containers whose plugs and brush caps can be difficult to position consistently by hand.
The final operating sequence depends on the bottle, wiper and cap-feeding configuration selected for the project.
The standard published filling range is 5–20ml, covering many common retail lip gloss packages.
The adjustable filling system allows the machine to be configured for different target volumes within this range. A production trial should still be completed for each formula because the same nominal volume can behave differently depending on:
Product viscosity
Formula temperature
Air content
Pigment concentration
Stringing tendency
Container opening
Required fill level
Applicator displacement
The applicator stem and wiper occupy space inside the filled container. The target dispensing volume should therefore be established using the complete assembled package rather than the empty container alone.
Lip gloss does not flow like a water-based liquid. Its viscosity can change with temperature, pigment load, wax content and raw-material composition.
The ZHJM-1647M is intended for compatible viscous cosmetic products that can be supplied and filled under the agreed processing conditions. Product testing should evaluate whether the formula moves through the filling path smoothly and produces an acceptable surface appearance.
The product supply method should maintain stable material flow during the filling cycle. Highly viscous formulas may require an appropriate pressure-feeding arrangement.
If the formula requires heating or continuous mixing to remain uniform, this requirement must be included in the machine specification. Heating and agitation should not be assumed unless they are listed in the confirmed configuration.
During testing, check for:
Air pockets in the container
Product stringing at the nozzle
Dripping after filling
Uneven fill surfaces
Pigment settlement
Formula separation
Residue around the container neck
Nozzle size, filling speed and product-feeding conditions should be matched to the actual formula.
The wiper is a critical part of a lip gloss package. It controls the amount of product remaining on the applicator when the brush is removed from the container.
The ZHJM-1647M integrates a plugging stage after filling. Depending on the packaging design, the inserted component may be a wiper or another compatible inner plug.
Successful insertion depends on:
Container-neck diameter
Wiper outside diameter
Wiper material and hardness
Required insertion depth
Retention force
Bottle-wall strength
Product residue around the opening
A wiper that is too loose may move during use. One that requires excessive insertion force may deform the container or interfere with the cap. The bottle and wiper should therefore be tested as a matched set.
The feeding and orientation arrangement must also be designed around the actual plug geometry.
After plugging, the machine completes the capping operation for the applicable brush and cap assembly.
Lip gloss caps often include a long applicator stem. Reliable capping requires the stem to enter the wiper and container opening without bending, catching or pushing the package out of position.
The capping setup should be matched to:
Cap diameter and height
Thread design
Applicator-stem length
Brush or applicator shape
Bottle-neck height
Required tightening force
Cap surface finish
Package alignment
Correct settings help produce a secure closure while reducing the risk of cross-threading, cap marking or damage to decorative components.
Packaging with irregular caps, double-wall caps or non-standard applicators may require customized positioning and capping components.
The ZHJM-1647M uses PLC control to coordinate the filling, plugging and capping sequence.
Operators can use the control interface to manage operating parameters and monitor the machine during production. The final control-component brands should follow the confirmed equipment specification.
Optical sensors detect whether a container is present at the filling position. If the container is missing, the machine does not release the product.
This function helps:
Reduce material loss
Avoid product discharge onto the machine deck
Keep the operating area cleaner
Support a more controlled filling sequence
Reduce unnecessary cleaning interruptions
Detection functions should be checked during changeover, especially when moving between transparent, reflective or unusually shaped containers.
The published production capacity is 40 pieces per minute.
Actual output depends on the complete packaging cycle, not only the filling step. Factors that can change the operating speed include:
Filling volume
Product viscosity
Material-feeding stability
Wiper shape and orientation
Cap-feeding performance
Applicator-stem length
Container stability
Required capping time
Operator replenishment
Frequency of cleaning or color changeovers
The production rate should be verified through a trial using the intended formula, container, wiper and brush cap.
For production planning, include time for material replenishment, cleaning, inspection and product changeover rather than calculating output from cycle speed alone.
The machine includes adjustable container-handling and positioning components for compatible package sizes.
A changeover may involve adjusting or replacing:
Container guides
Positioning parts
Filling-nozzle height
Wiper-handling components
Cap-positioning components
Capping settings
Sensor positions
Filling parameters
Container diameter and height are not sufficient to confirm compatibility. The complete package—including the bottle, wiper, applicator and cap—must be reviewed.
Custom positioning components may be required for irregular, tapered or highly decorative cosmetic containers.
Cosmetic factories frequently run several lip gloss colors on the same machine. Residual pigment from one batch can affect the next shade, particularly when changing from a dark or highly saturated color to a pale or transparent formula.
The filling head and product path are designed to support disassembly and cleaning during product changeover.
A practical procedure should include:
Removing the remaining product from the supply system.
Isolating the machine according to the operating instructions.
Removing accessible filling-path components.
Cleaning the filling head, product lines and associated material parts.
Inspecting seals and small product-contact areas.
Reassembling the filling path.
Running a controlled test quantity.
Checking the new product for color contamination.
Confirming fill volume before restarting production.
Factories processing many shades may reduce cleaning time by arranging production from lighter to darker colors when formulation and quality procedures permit.
The supplied product information lists 304 and 316L stainless steel for material-contacting components.
Stainless steel supports corrosion resistance and practical cleaning, but the exact grade used for each component should be documented in the final machine specification.
Hygienic operation also depends on:
Surface condition
Seal material
Filling-path design
Disassembly procedure
Cleaning agents
Cleaning frequency
Operator practices
Production-room controls
The machine’s construction supports cosmetic packaging operations, but it does not by itself establish compliance with every GMP or regulatory requirement. The user remains responsible for validating the complete production and cleaning process.
The primary application of the ZHJM-1647M is automatic filling and closure assembly for lip gloss.
Related products may be evaluated when their formula and packaging fall within the machine’s working conditions, including:
Lip gloss
Lip oil with suitable viscosity
Liquid lipstick
Liquid concealer
Other compatible applicator-pack cosmetics
Mascara, nail products and other cosmetic formulas should not be assumed compatible solely because they use similar containers. Differences in viscosity, volatility, heating requirements and applicator construction may require another machine configuration.
The ZHJM-1647M can be planned as part of a broader cosmetic packaging line.
Depending on the project, associated equipment may include:
Container feeding equipment
Product preparation and feeding systems
Labeling machines
Inkjet or laser coding equipment
Visual inspection stations
Cartoning machines
Finished-product collection equipment
Before integration, confirm the container-transfer direction, working height, speed balance, control signals and available floor space.
The line layout should leave sufficient access for product replenishment, plug and cap loading, cleaning, inspection and maintenance.

Physical samples are recommended. Drawings provide an initial reference, but sample testing gives a clearer basis for evaluating material flow, wiper insertion, applicator alignment and capping.
Before manufacturing or final acceptance, the project can be reviewed using the intended formula and packaging components.
A sample-based review can cover:
Filling-volume setup
Product-flow behaviour
Wiper insertion
Applicator entry
Cap tightening
Container positioning
Sensor detection
Changeover requirements
Target production speed
Connection with downstream equipment
Factory Acceptance Testing should follow the agreed scope and acceptance criteria. The criteria should identify the sample formula, packaging components, test duration, target output and acceptable finished-package results.
ZUNGWAN can also provide installation guidance, remote or on-site training according to the project arrangement, and spare-parts support.
Provide the actual container, wiper, applicator brush and outer cap. A representative quantity of the lip gloss formula should also be supplied for testing. Include the required filling volume, target output and available utilities.
Heating is not listed as a confirmed standard function in the available specifications. If the formula must be heated or mixed to maintain flow and uniformity, an appropriate product-preparation and feeding system should be included in the project review.
The wiper removes excess product from the applicator and affects the amount delivered during use. Its diameter, insertion force and position must match the bottle neck and applicator.
The published capacity is 40 pieces per minute, but actual output depends on viscosity, filling volume, plug feeding, cap handling and package stability. The intended product and complete package should be used for the speed test.
Yes, compatible colors can be processed on the same machine after cleaning and parameter adjustment. The required changeover time depends on pigment strength, formula behaviour and the filling-path cleaning procedure.
These products should be evaluated separately. Similar container shapes do not guarantee compatibility because the formula, volatility, applicator and feeding requirements may differ.
The listed optical detection system supports a no-container, no-fill function. Sensor positioning should be checked after every container changeover.
Custom positioning parts may allow the machine to handle non-standard containers. Compatibility depends on container stability, neck dimensions, wiper design, cap geometry and applicator alignment.
It can be planned as part of a connected packaging line. Transfer height, direction, speed, control signals and container stability should be reviewed before the line layout is finalized.
Use the actual product and packaging components. Check fill quantity, product residue, wiper position, applicator entry, cap tightness, package appearance and sustained operating speed according to agreed acceptance criteria.
