“Liquid filling, in particular, is an area where Marchesini Group Beauty is seeing strong demand,” according to Lorenzo Gatti, that company’s Sales Director, who goes on to clarify that “among the most frequent requests we hear from cosmetics companies, one word stands out: fragrance. Not just as a product, but as an experience to be crafted with care.”  “Our experience tells us the market is buzzing, and fragrances are quickly becoming the stars of new production lines,” says Gatti.

 Another good example of the importance of core capabilities even during the transition to Industry 4.0 are lipstick molding machines from Citus Kalix, which have long been an industry staple. As Filiberto Cacciari, Head of Customer Service and Marketing at Citus Kalix and ADMV reminds us, the company “[invented]…silicone technology for lipstick molding.” And he says, when machines from their CRLA Range are “combined with our silicone molds, they deliver perfect finishes and offer broad customization possibilities.” He also highlights the value of packaging machinery that is “specially designed to run even the most delicate cartons with careful handling” and how the company has innovated in this space to solve a challenge in fragrance packaging: “the KP600 Liner EVO,” says Cacciari, “was developed in response to the specific demands of the perfumery market. It combines our KP600 EVO cartoning machine with a protective liner module, ensuring maximum product security and flawless presentation. This solution addresses the critical need to protect high-end fragrance products during distribution. By integrating cartoning and liner application in one streamlined process, the KP600 Liner EVO increases efficiency, reliability, and quality assurance for luxury packaging.”

 

Recent news from equipment makers reminds us that Citus Kalix isn’t alone in helping move reliable manufacturing solutions into tomorrow. US-based FlackTek specializes in industrial technology premised on the physics of centrifugal acceleration. The company’s machinery is used in multiple industries to mix, disperse, homogenize, mill, de-gas, and more. And in July of this year, FlackTech introduced a 50kg version of its patented, dual-asymmetric centrifuge machine design.

In his comments to the press, CEO Matt Gross said that the new machine (now part of the company’s range of equipment that accommodates volumes from 200g through to 300kg), “is about more than capacity; it’s about flexibility. We’re committed to giving our customers more options to scale with speed, precision, and confidence. The 50kg system is another step in our mission to support agile, end-to-end production without compromise.”
