PACK FBI, pneumatic press for Wet Powder
PACK FBI is the machine designed for the final pressing of Wet Powder products, defining the shape and the product’s uniformity inside the pan (godet).
What are Wet Powder products?
The term Wet Powder was coined directly by Co.Pack to identify an innovative category of products for manufacturing eyeshadows and highlighters.
By Wet Powder we mean paste-like cosmetic powders that can be dosed or injected using a volatile binding agent—such as isododecane—which subsequently evaporates during the “baking” phase of the finished product.
The Wet Powder category includes both Front Injection and Back Injection.
Let’s look at the process.
First, these Wet Powder products are either dosed onto a pan (godet) or injected into dedicated plastic pans.
These pans, with the product already dosed, are then pressed to obtain a precise shape and to evenly fill the pan.
Thanks to pressing, much of the product’s liquid phase is extracted; the Wet Powder is then dried in an industrial oven.
Once the volatile binder has evaporated, the product is ready for makeup use.
Co.Pack enables you to make this type of product with machines that use Front Back Injection technology, offering a complete range to meet diverse needs, such as the ROTOPACK FBI 2000 2P for large-scale production, or the FBI L2 for more flexible Wet Powder production.
Features of the PACK FBI press
Mechanically guided die; the up and down motion is actuated by a pneumatic cylinder with a maximum pressing force of 7000 N.
The press includes an automatic cloth unwind device with an innovative quick-coupling roll for the reel.
HMI touchscreen operator panel to manage pressure parameters, ribbon-unwinder rotation, and timings.
