At Granda, we specialize in providing advanced machinery solutions for the cosmetic industry. Below is a detailed breakdown of the lip balm production and packaging process using our equipment, designed to ensure precision, efficiency, and superior product quality.
1. Prodution Process: The Foundation of Quality
Step 1: Material Preparation & Heating
First, raw materials for lip balm—such as waxes, oils, and pigments—are carefully measured and combined. Our Granda Heating Mixer ensures uniform melting at controlled temperatures (typically 70-80°C), preserving the formula’s integrity. This mixer features automatic temperature regulation and a gentle stirring mechanism to prevent ingredient degradation.
2. Heating Filling & Freezing & Packaging

Step 1: Heating Filling
Once melted, the liquid balm is transferred to the Lip Balm Filling Machine. Equipped with multi-nozzle heads, this machine achieves filling accuracy within ±0.1g, suitable for various container sizes—from classic tubes to innovative jars. The nozzles are designed to minimize drips and splashes, ensuring clean containers for the next steps.
Step 2: First Freezing Tunnel: Rapid Solidification
After filling, containers move into the Freezing Tunnel . Maintained at -10 to -18°C, this tunnel rapidly solidifies the surface layer of the lip balm, forming a stable base. The conveyor system ensures consistent product spacing, allowing uniform cooling across all containers. This step reduces waiting time and prepares the balm for the next processing stage.
Step 3: Temperature Conditioning: Bubble Elimination
To eliminate any micro-bubbles formed during filling, products enter the Temperature Chamber. Here, the temperature is gradually raised to 20-25°C and held for 30-60 minutes. This controlled temperature recovery process allows trapped air to rise and escape, ensuring a smooth, bubble-free finish—critical for premium visual appeal.
Step 4: Secondary Freezing: Deep Solidification
For long-term structural stability, the lip balm undergoes secondary freezing in our Dual-Zone Freezer. Operating at -20°C, this stage fully solidifies the product from core to surface, preventing deformation during subsequent handling. The freezer’s intelligent sensors monitor temperature uniformity, ensuring every container meets strict quality standards.
Step 5: Cap Placement (optional, can choose manually place the caps)
Next, the Cap Feeding System takes over. Using advanced vision technology, this machine accurately aligns and places caps onto each container, regardless of slight positional variations. It handles various cap types—screw-on, flip-top, or decorative caps—with a success rate exceeding 99.9%, minimizing manual intervention.
Step 6: Capping & Sealing: Secure Finishing
The final step is sealing with our Cap Pressing Machine. This machine applies precise pressure to ensure caps are tightly secured without damaging containers. Adjustable parameters allow customization for different cap designs, while built-in sensors check for proper capping before products move to packaging. The result? Leak-proof, retail-ready lip balm units.
