Household product fillers handle foamy and thin liquids at high speeds, often on complete lines with trigger-sprayer capping.
Common filling applications
- Filling laundry detergents and fabric care products
- Packaging surface cleaners and disinfectants
- Filling dish soap and hand soap
- Packaging air fresheners and aerosol household products
- Filling powdered household cleaning products
Product characteristics
Household products range from thin liquid cleaners to thicker gels and powders, with some formulations containing bleach, surfactants, or fragrance components that require compatible materials. Foaming can be a concern for soap and detergent products during filling. Many products are produced in high volumes with frequent size and formula changeovers.
Container considerations
Bottles, jugs, pouches, and aerosol cans are common, often selected for cost efficiency at high production volumes. Container material must resist the chemical properties of surfactants, bleach, or solvents in the formulation. Child-resistant closures are often required for certain product categories.
Production considerations
High-volume production with frequent formula and fragrance changeovers is typical, requiring efficient cleaning and changeover procedures. Some products, such as bleach-based cleaners, require corrosion-resistant equipment materials. Labeling and safety data requirements are generally tied to consumer chemical safety regulations.
