About the solution

Household chemicals span a wide range of viscosity and foaminess within a single plant, from thin, free-flowing sanitizer to thick dish gel. We therefore select the filling method to suit the product: flowmeter for aggressive, free-flowing liquids, piston for thick products, weight-based when labeling is by mass.

Foaming formulations are filled through dip tubes that rise as the container fills — foam does not spill past the neck and the dose stays accurate. For aggressive media, the product path is built in AISI 316L or in polypropylene and PVDF.

Built into the design

Dip-tube filling

The tube lowers to the bottom of the container and rises as it fills — foaming products fill without loss or splashing.

Trigger orientation

Automatic feeding, orientation and screwing of triggers and pumps with torque and angle control.

Chemical-resistant path

Contact-part materials are selected for the specific formulation, including chlorine-based products.

Explosion protection on request

Ex-rated design for alcohol-based products: grounding, ventilation, explosion-proof equipment.

Line composition along the product flow

8 positions along the product flow. Every unit opens in the catalog: series, specifications, scope of supply and a quote request.

Line model selection

Selecting a tri-block for household chemicals

Output is given for a 500 mL bottle; the fill cycle time increases for viscous products (gel, cream soap).

Model	Valves	Dose range	Output	Dosing accuracy
EDS-CHEM-8	8	200 mL – 2 L	1,000–1,800 btl/h	±0.3%
EDS-CHEM-12	12	200 mL – 5 L	2,000–3,000 btl/h	±0.3%
EDS-CHEM-18	18	0.2–5 L	3,500–5,000 btl/h	±0.25%
EDS-CHEM-24	24	0.2–10 L	4,500–6,500 btl/h	±0.25%

Each valve is driven by an individual servo motor: the fill speed slows before the dose completes, preventing foaming and splashing.

Containers and closures

Container material	Shape	Volume	Closure type
PET / HDPE	round, square, shaped	0.2–5 L	screw cap, trigger, pump
Glass	round, shaped	0.1–1 L	screw cap, crown cap
Metal (jerrycan)	rectangular	5–30 L	sealed screw cap

Container format changeover — quick-change starwheels and neck grippers without swapping the base frame.

Operating conditions

Parameter	Value
Product-contact materials	AISI 316L, food-grade/chemical-resistant seals
Room temperature	10–40 °C
Humidity	no condensation
Power supply	380 V, 3-phase, 50 Hz ±1%

Line process flow

Filling household chemicals is complicated by foaming, buildup, and product corrosivity: the line is built around a tri-block with servo-controlled valves, and the head and tail sections depend on the closure type — screw cap, trigger sprayer, or dispensing pump.

Key line features

Each filling valve is driven by an individual servo motor with a segmented high/low fill speed profile
Vacuum drip suction after dosing — no dripping or stringing at the nozzle on foaming products
Product-contact parts and the product tank in AISI 316L stainless steel, chemically resistant seals
Quick-change format parts: infeed starwheels, neck grippers — no tools required
Compatible with any closure type: screw cap, crown cap, trigger, pump
Dosing accuracy: maximum deviation of 2–3 g, standard deviation no more than 1.5
Industrial-grade PLC; format recipes are stored in the operator panel memory

Key line stations

What sits behind the nameplate output: contact-part execution, operating logic and service points for every station.

Rinsing heads

Container preparation

AISI 304/316 stainless nozzles and manifold with fan-jet spray: lower water consumption and more even rinsing over the entire inner surface.
Neck-grip gripper with a polymer insert holds the bottle by the finish, minimizing the risk of preform crushing or scratching.
Rinsing pump and piping in sanitary design, the circuit disassembles without tools.
Rinse-water recirculation with filtration — up to 30% savings compared to drain discharge.

Core machines of the line

Equipment of the “Household Chemicals Filling Line” layout: each tile opens the catalog with series, specifications and a quote request for that machine.

Depalletizer and container infeed

Removes empty plastic or glass containers from the pallet, orients them via starwheel, and feeds them onto the line conveyor.

Rotary tri-block for viscous liquids

Rinsing, servo-controlled dosing per valve with a segmented fill speed profile, and capping on a single frame — no drips on foaming products.

Filling block for gel and thick soap

Piston or diaphragm pump with vacuum drip suction: no stringing or dripping at the nozzle on high-viscosity products.

Line for chlorine-based and aggressive liquids

Product-contact parts in PTFE and chlorine-resistant stainless steel; a closed dosing circuit reduces vapor evaporation.

Quick-change format parts

Infeed and outfeed starwheels and neck grippers are changed without tools — switching to another bottle takes no more than 30 minutes.

Capping machine

Screw cap application or trigger/pump fitting with torque control, suitable for irregularly shaped bottles as well.

Fill level and cap inspector

Backlight inspection of fill level and cap seating, rejecting nonconforming containers before the labeler.

Labeling machine

Self-adhesive label on flat or round containers, with a back label and shoulder label on the bottle when needed.

Date coder and batch marking

Inkjet printing of production date, shelf life, and batch number on the bottle and the case.

Case packing and palletizing

Loading bottles into a corrugated case with dividers, tape sealing, and layer-by-layer pallet formation with stretch-wrap.

Which closure do you use

The cap type defines the capping block: heads, feeding and orientation of the closure, torque or press-on force. State your option in the request and we will select the head and sorter for it.

24/410, 28/410

Dispensing pump / trigger sprayer

The dip tube is cut to the bottle height, the head screws it on without the tube twisting inside the container.

FAQ

Which filling method should I choose?

For free-flowing and aggressive liquids — an electromagnetic flowmeter, with no moving parts in the flow. For thick gels — a piston. For products labeled by mass — weight-based filling.

Can chlorine-based products be filled?

Yes, but the product path is built in PP or PVDF, not stainless steel. We confirm the formulation before design.

How much does the Household Chemicals Filling Line cost?

Price on request: the budget depends on output, container type, line composition and the level of automation. After a short brief we send a preliminary estimate within 1–2 working days and a full quotation broken down by machine within 3–5 days.

What are the delivery and commissioning lead times?

Standard machines ship 8–12 weeks after the specification is confirmed, complete lines 12–20 weeks. Transport takes 2–6 weeks depending on the route; installation and commissioning on site take 2–4 weeks, with operator training included.

What output does this line reach?

The working range is 1,000–12,000 units/h. Exact output is confirmed against your container, product and shift plan: we calculate the line balance and keep a margin on the bottleneck machine.
