Why cosmetic lines need special handling
- Glass bottles of many shapes. Holders and star wheels are made to suit your bottle; send samples or drawings.
- Several components. Perfume needs a pump crimped or screwed; droppers need the pipette inserted before the cap. Each adds a station.
- Small, expensive doses. Accuracy matters; our small-bottle machines list ±1% or ≥99%.
- Frequent changeovers. Brands run many SKUs, so quick-change parts save hours.
From start-up to production
New brands often begin with semi-automatic fillers. Once volumes reach a few thousand units a day, a 2- or 4-nozzle monoblock pays back quickly — see semi-automatic vs automatic. The essential oil line in our projects shows a typical layout.
After filling
Cartoning small bottles with leaflets (Automatic bottle cartoning machine), labelling and case packing complete the line.

Questions and answers
Which machine fills essential oil dropper bottles?
A dropper bottle filling and capping machine such as the YX2, which fills 10–120 ml bottles, inserts the dropper and screws on the cap.
Can one cosmetic filling machine handle several bottle shapes?
Yes, with change parts for each bottle. Similar bottle sizes and closures make changeover quicker.
What machine fills lip gloss and mascara?
A small-tube filler with plug insertion and capping, such as the JMB for 2–10 ml containers.
How do you fill solid perfume or balm?
With a heated filler that keeps the product liquid until it is dosed, such as the J4B heated filling machine.
