Perfume Filling Machine

Fragrances and perfumes are alcohol-based (typically formulation-dependent ethanol content) and have extremely low surface tension and viscosity (1–10 cps). At filling head withdrawal, this creates an uncontrolled drip that: (1) contaminates the bottle exterior — unacceptable on luxury packaging, (2) creates giveaway losses adding up to hundreds of dollars per hour on high-value fragrances, and (3) creates evaporative alcohol vapor in the filling area. Vacuum suck-back pulls back the liquid meniscus before the nozzle clears the bottle, achieving zero-drip fills.

ATEX documentation is required when the ethanol content of the product exceeds a the reviewed ABV threshold. Most perfumes (EDC, EDT, EDP, parfum) are formulation-dependent ethanol content, requiring Zone 1 or Zone 2 ATEX equipment. Our standard perfume filling machines are documentation reviewed for non-ATEX applications. hazardous-area documentation review versions (Ex d IIB T4 Gb, Zone 1) are available as a factory option. We strongly recommend the ATEX version for any ethanol-based fragrance filling.

Our perfume filling machines handle round, oval, square and custom-profile bottles in glass (standard and heavy-wall) and crystal. Bottle height range: 40–200mm; diameter: 20–80mm. Cap crimping heads for: aluminum crimp caps (standard 15mm and 20mm ferrule), pump spray caps, and screw-cap bottles. Inline crimping with torque control supports consistent seal quality. Multi-format tooling changeover in 20–30 minutes.

Yes, with configuration changes. The vacuum anti-drip piston filling system handles both alcohol-based fragrances (1–10 cps) and water-based serums (10–100 cps) with minor nozzle and speed adjustments. For facilities producing both fragrance and skincare products, this dual-use capability can reduce capital investment. However, ATEX requirements apply whenever ethanol-content products are on the machine, so the ATEX version is required for dual-use applications.
