Household and Cleaning Product Packaging Machines

Problems with Packaging Household and Cleaning Products

During the filling process, there’s a chance that liquid cleaning products may overflow, leak, foam, or spill. Not only do you lose product, and therefore money, but then you have to clean the spilled liquid off of the floor and off of your machine(s).

There’s also a risk of such spills if your products aren’t capped properly. They could leak, getting both the equipment and the bottles wet, which could make labeling them more difficult. Also, caps may need to be child-resistant so kids don’t inadvertently hurt themselves.

You also need labels that are noticeable from a distance, include clear text, and enhance your product branding.

Addressing Those Problems with Accutek Packaging Equipment

Accutek is equipped to meet all these issues head-on. For example, our semi-automatic pressure overflow filler, which can handle up to 32 containers per minute, is perfect for foamy products, like soaps.

Our spindle cappers can apply child-proof caps, and our bottle blowers can ensure that bottles are dry before labeling.

Heat tunnels can shrink wraparound plastic labels onto your containers if they have a non-traditional design.

If you have any other issues when it comes to packaging your household and cleaning products, the odds are good that we can handle it.

Customizing Your Packaging Line to Fit Your Product

Accutek Packaging Equipment Company, Inc. can help you develop a brand new packaging line or incorporate our machines into your existing one. To that end, we can design and incorporate custom parts for your machine(s). This allows us to accommodate your product’s characteristics, whether that’s its temperature, viscosity, foaming characteristics, or another relevant factor.

To give a quick example, some of our fillers are designed to prevent overflowing and spillage, and we can customize machines to fit on, say, trigger caps for items like spray bottles.

We can also develop an entire production line to meet your needs. For example, we can incorporate bottle unscramblers to help orient your bottles in the proper orientation, then send them through a bottle blower/washer to make sure they are sanitary before the filling stage of your production process.

Our packaging machines can be customized for easy changeover, so you can quickly switch to different products and deliver seamless packaging solutions for household and cleaning products.

Choosing the Right Packaging Machines for Your Packaging Needs

If you’re unsure what kinds of machines you’ll need to package your cleaning products, ask yourself the following questions:

What type of product are you packaging?

Are you producing something neutral, like toothpaste or cleaning aerosols? Or something more caustic, like disinfectants or bleach? These products not only have substantially different chemical compositions, but they also have to be packaged in unique formats. It’s the difference between a small tube with a twist-off cap or a large jug that needs to be hermetically sealed.

What is your intended production output?

Exactly how much product are you looking to produce? Are you an up-and-coming business trying to get small batches of soap out for your local artisanal store? Or are you a major pillar within your market, looking to keep shelves at major retail outlets stocked with plenty of pomegranate-scented cleaning solutions?

Your answer is going to dictate just how much packaging equipment you’re going to need. If you’re a smaller company, you may only need a semi-automatic machine. But if you’re a large operation, it’s worth considering an entire automatic line for your household and cleaning products needs.

What’s your budget?

Going off the previous question, the size of your production operation, and by extension, your funds, will impact your choice of machine(s). A smaller or semi-automatic machine will likely be cheaper, but may not be able to meet the same production output as a larger and more expensive automatic machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are the machines constructed?

Our machines are designed and built here in the United States. Our engineering team designs new parts and solutions to customize your household and cleaning product machines for your production line.

Are your machines sanitary?

Yes, the machines are constructed with stainless steel, making them sanitary and safe for packaging sensitive products. Your products will be kept pure and contaminant-free.

Can your machines achieve speeds of 20-40 containers/bottles per minute during the production process?

Many of our machines can meet or even exceed this speed, but it depends on a few factors. Like the size/shape of the container and which machine(s) you’re using. For example, a rotary overflow filler can fill hundreds of large bottles in minutes, but a semi-automatic piston filler isn’t likely to achieve this speed.

Do you provide manuals? Do they provide preventative maintenance instructions and setup procedures?

Yes; where applicable, the manuals include information on setting up your machine and keeping it in good condition for a long time. The manuals also may include mechanical and electrical diagrams for your reference, along with setup sheets and lists of spare parts you can order in case of a malfunction.

What kind of service can we expect post-purchase?

Accutek is available during all business hours for service calls. If your machine experiences a problem, call us, and we’ll do everything we can to get your production back on track.
