The Challenge
The client needed a versatile filling line capable of handling two distinct product types — stick deodorants and antiperspirants — without any risk of cross-contamination. Because of their different formulations, the process required independent filling systems to ensure product integrity.
Additionally, the line had to accommodate seven packaging formats, enabling fast changeovers with minimal downtime, while maintaining a production speed of 250 units per minute.
How did Mengibar solve it?
In response to the demand for a versatile, high-speed production line for stick deodorant and antiperspirant products, we developed a fully automated solution equipped with two dedicated rotary fillers. This configuration is essential for handling two distinct product types that cannot mix due to the risk of contamination. While one filler operates, the other can undergo maintenance, ensuring continuous production.
The system handles seven different container formats, with a focus on easy and fast changeovers. Automation plays a key role in simplifying format adjustments, minimizing downtime, and maintaining consistent throughput.
Operating at a remarkable speed of 250 units per minute, this Hot Filling Line for Stick Deodorant ensures high output without compromising quality. Its advanced features provide flexibility, allowing it to switch between various product formats seamlessly, offering the client the necessary adaptability in a highly competitive market.
