What We Package
Household chemical products range from thin, foaming liquids to viscous gels, typically packaged in mid-to-large format bottles.
Engineering Considerations
Cleaning product formulations are more chemically aggressive than food or beverage products, which changes both material selection and cleaning protocol.
Product-contact parts should be PP, PTFE, or 316L stainless — mild steel and standard elastomers degrade quickly under detergent chemistry.
Foaming during filling is common — bottom-up nozzle filling and controlled fill speed reduce overflow and downtime at the capping station.
Bottle sizes commonly range from 500 mL to 5 L within one product line — plan format-part flexibility around your actual SKU range.
Trigger sprayers and flip-top caps each need dedicated capping tooling, distinct from standard screw caps.
Concentrated formulations may require slower fill speeds and larger-bore nozzles than their viscosity alone would suggest.
Machinery We Recommend
Bottle lines cover nearly all household chemical formats, from small trigger-spray bottles to large jugs.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Our detergent foams badly during filling — can this be fixed without slowing the line down?
In most cases, yes. Bottom-up nozzle filling (the nozzle starts at the bottle base and rises as it fills) reduces the turbulence that causes foaming far more effectively than simply slowing the fill speed. We can also review your product's formulation-side foam triggers with you.
-
Do we need different equipment for concentrated vs. ready-to-use formulas?
Often the same piston filler handles both if the viscosity range is within its rated capacity — but concentrated formulas may need slower fill speeds and larger nozzle bores. Share both product viscosities during specification so the machine is sized for your full range, not just one SKU.
