Suitable routes
Pump, piston or other volumetric routes can be compared around the product behaviour. Semi-automatic formats suit small batches; inline formats suit larger production.
Lotion filling
Lotion filling machines for cosmetic and personal-care production.
Lotions sit between free-flowing liquids and thicker creams, so the best route depends on viscosity, bottle neck, foam, drip and hygiene expectations.

Selection checks
These are the main points to check before asking for a quote. They help avoid a filler that looks suitable on a catalogue page but fails in real production.
- Viscosity, foam and whether the lotion strings at cut-off.
- Bottle size, neck opening, pump cap or screw cap route.
- Material compatibility and cleaning method.
- Target output and whether labelling/coding is needed.
