Filling systems for cosmetic products
Industrial filling processes for intermediate products and bulk containers
The cosmetics industry produces a wide range of liquid and paste-like intermediates, bulk products, and finished products. FRICKE filling systems are designed for the industrial filling of larger product volumes into containers with fill weights of 20 kilograms or more, including shampoos, shower gels, liquid soaps, body lotions, and skincare oils. The focus is on filling intermediates and bulk products for further processing, storage, or packaging – not on filling small consumer packaging such as jars, tubes, or bottles.
Depending on their composition, products differ significantly in terms of viscosity, flow and foaming behavior, as well as the requirements for gentle handling.
In day-to-day production, this means that filling processes must operate precisely, cleanly, and flexibly, even when products, batches, fill volumes, or containers change. FRICKE develops industrial filling systems for cosmetic products, tailored to product characteristics, containers, fill volumes, the production environment, and the desired level of automation.
Typical requirements in the cosmetics industry
- Precise filling of liquid and pasty cosmetic products
- Clean processes for consistent product quality
- Flexible handling of different viscosities and product properties
- Reliable processes when products or batches change
- Filling larger product quantities with fill weights of 20 kilograms or more
- Integration into existing production and packaging processes
FRICKE solutions for cosmetic products
The focus is on the precise and clean filling of liquid and paste-like cosmetic intermediates and bulk products into industrial containers. When designing systems, FRICKE takes into account product behavior, the intended containers and fill volumes, the production environment, cleaning requirements, and the desired level of automation.
This results in customized system concepts – ranging from flexible single-station solutions to automated filling lines – that are tailored to larger product volumes and the requirements of cosmetic production processes.

Frequently asked questions
Would you like to know which filling solution is right for your cosmetic product and production process?
Here, we answer frequently asked questions about cosmetic products, viscosities, containers, system concepts, and integration into existing production processes.
FRICKE filling systems can be configured for a variety of liquid and paste-like cosmetic intermediates and bulk products, such as shampoos, shower gels, liquid soaps, body lotions, or skincare oils. The systems are designed for the industrial filling of larger product quantities with fill weights of 20 kilograms or more. The specific solution depends on the product properties, viscosity, intended containers and fill volumes, the production environment, and the desired level of automation.
Yes. Depending on the application, FRICKE filling systems can be configured for products ranging from low-viscosity liquids to pasty products. The appropriate system design depends on factors such as product type, viscosity, flow and foaming behavior, container type, fill volume, production environment, and the desired level of automation.
Depending on the system design, industrial containers with fill weights of 20 kilograms or more can be filled, including buckets, canisters, hobbocks, drums, and IBCs. The appropriate solution depends on the product, the container size, the fill volume, the required production capacity, and the requirements of the filling process. Filling small end-user packaging such as jars, tubes, or bottles is not within the scope of these systems.
