Automatic Jar Filling Line Working Process

Heated Material Supply → Automatic Jar Unscrambling → Jar Infeed → 20-Position Servo Filling → Cooling → Rewarming → Automatic Cap Sorting and Press Capping → Finished Jar Discharge

The integrated workflow covers container orientation, quantitative filling, temperature-controlled processing and finished-jar handling. Additional upstream preparation or downstream packaging equipment can be integrated according to production requirements.

Core Equipment and Advantages

1. Automatic Jar Unscrambling and Feeding

The centrifugal unscrambler organizes containers into the correct orientation before transferring them to the infeed conveyor. Photoelectric detection identifies reversed containers, which are removed by air ejection. Adjustable conveyor speed and guide rails support stable container transfer.

2. 20-Position Servo Piston Filling

Two servo-driven piston pump units supply 20 filling positions for coordinated, quantitative filling. The adjustable filling range is 0–10 mL, with a stated filling accuracy of ±1%.

Heated pump components help prevent material from solidifying inside the filling system during production, supporting the handling of compatible temperature-sensitive semi-solid formulations.

3. 100 L Heated Mixing Hopper

The 100 L hopper combines heating and adjustable-speed mixing to maintain suitable material conditions during filling. The mixing speed ranges from 1–90 rpm.

The hopper supports material supply during production. Separate bulk melting, mixing or formulation equipment may be required depending on the raw materials and manufacturing process.

4. Integrated Cooling and Rewarming

The line includes two cooling units and dedicated cooling conveyors with adjustable conveying speed. A downstream rewarming section applies heat to the filled product before subsequent handling.

Cooling and rewarming parameters are determined by the formulation, fill volume, container dimensions and required product finish.

5. Automatic Cap Feeding and Press Capping

The cap handling system organizes and feeds caps to the capping station. The press-capping mechanism secures compatible caps, while the finished-product conveyor transfers completed jars out of the line.

Container dimensions, cap specifications and closing requirements must be confirmed before production.

6. Integrated Control System

The touchscreen interface supports adjustment of filling volume, filling speed, mixing speed and temperature settings. Operators can monitor equipment status and adjust operating parameters to match the product and packaging format.

Applications

The JX-HS is designed for compatible semi-solid products packaged in jars, including:

• Petroleum Jelly in Jars

• Vaseline-Type Petroleum Jelly in Jars

• Lip Balm in Jars

• Lip Treatment Balm in Jars

• Other Compatible Semi-Solid Personal Care Products

Product compatibility depends on viscosity, filling temperature, cooling behavior, container dimensions and cap design. The documented filling range is 0–10 mL, so the required fill volume must be confirmed before selecting the machine.

Jar Filling vs. Twist-Up Lip Balm Tube Filling

The JX-HS and HY-CGL serve different packaging requirements.

• JX-HS: Designed for jar-style packaging, with automatic jar feeding, 20-position filling, cooling, rewarming and cap handling.

• HY-CGL: Designed for twist-up lip balm tube production, using a mold-based filling and cooling workflow with downstream tube handling.

Choose the JX-HS for compatible petroleum jelly and lip balm products packaged in jars. For molded lip balm sticks packaged in twist-up tubes, see the HY-CGL Automatic 12-Head Lip Balm Filling & Cooling Line.

Technical Parameters Technical Specifications

Specifications are for reference. Actual performance depends on product formulation, mold configuration, cooling requirements and operating conditions. Final parameters can be customized to meet your production needs.

Complete Line Configuration and Customization

The standard JX-HS configuration integrates:

• Centrifugal Jar Unscrambler and Infeed Conveyor

• 20-Position Servo Filling Machine with Heated Mixing Hopper

• Two Cooling Units, Cooling Conveyors and Rewarming Section

• Automatic Cap Sorting, Press Capping and Finished-Product Discharge

HONEMIX can review additional material preparation, inspection, coding, labeling and secondary packaging equipment according to your production requirements.

The final configuration is determined by the product formula, fill volume, filling temperature, jar dimensions, cap design, target output and factory layout.

FAQ

1. What Products Can the JX-HS Jar Filling Line Handle?

The JX-HS is designed for compatible petroleum jelly, Vaseline-type products, lip balm and similar semi-solid personal care formulations packaged in jars. Product testing is recommended to confirm filling and cooling performance.

2. Is the JX-HS Designed for Jars or Twist-Up Lip Balm Tubes?

The JX-HS is configured for jar-style containers. For twist-up lip balm tubes, the HY-CGL is the relevant product line because it uses a mold-based filling and cooling workflow.

3. What Is the Filling Range of the JX-HS?

The documented filling range is 0–10 mL per container, with a stated filling accuracy of ±1%. Confirm the required fill volume and test the intended formula before finalizing the configuration.

4. Does the JX-HS Include Heating, Cooling and Capping?

Yes. The filling machine includes a 100 L heated mixing hopper. The complete line also includes two cooling units, cooling conveyors, a rewarming section, automatic cap sorting and press capping.

5. Can the JX-HS Produce Petroleum Jelly Directly from Raw Materials?

The 100 L hopper provides heating and mixing during material supply and filling. Whether separate melting, bulk mixing or formulation equipment is required depends on the raw materials and manufacturing process.
