Eyeshadow Production Equipment

Automatic Eyeshadow Pressing Machine

Automated pressing system for eyeshadow pan production, covering powder filling, pre-pressing, main pressing, and ejection in a continuous cycle, with adjustable pressure profiles for single-color and multi-color formulas.

Product Introduction

The Automatic Eyeshadow Pressing Machine is designed for converting loose eyeshadow powder into pressed pans through an automated sequence of filling, pre-pressing, main pressing, and ejection. The machine handles both single-color and multi-color eyeshadow formulations, including marbled and layered effects where multiple powders are filled into the same pan before pressing. Pressing force, dwell time, and filling depth are set through the PLC touchscreen, and parameters are stored as recipes for each product code. Tooling is interchangeable for round, square, oval, and custom pan shapes used in eyeshadow palettes. The enclosed powder handling zone, combined with a recovery channel, reduces material loss during filling and limits powder buildup around the pressing area. The machine is applied in color cosmetics production lines requiring repeatable pan density, minimal edge cracking, and consistent output across batches.

Core Advantages

Multi-Color Pan Support

Handles marbled, layered, and multi-tone eyeshadow effects where several powders are filled into the same pan before pressing.

Adjustable Pressing Profile

Pressing force, dwell time, and pressing speed are set through the PLC, allowing the cycle to be tuned for different powder formulas.

Recipe-Driven Changeover

Parameters for each eyeshadow product are stored in the controller, reducing setup time when switching between shades and pan formats.

Small Pan Handling

Tooling is configured for the small pan diameters commonly used in eyeshadow palettes, with consistent filling accuracy across cavities.

Reduced Powder Loss

Enclosed feeding and recovery channels limit airborne powder and material buildup around the pressing zone.

Batch Traceability

Pressing parameters and output counts are logged for each production run, supporting batch documentation.

Application Scenarios

Single-Color Eyeshadow Pans

Pressed pan production for single-shade eyeshadow lines with consistent density and surface finish.

Multi-Color and Marbled Pans

Production of marbled, layered, and multi-tone eyeshadow pans using multiple powder filling channels.

Eyeshadow Palette Lines

Pressing of multiple pan formats within a single palette, including round, square, and custom shapes.

Sample and Travel Palettes

Small-batch pressing for sample kits and travel-size eyeshadow palettes with recipe-based parameter recall.

Contract Manufacturing

Suited to manufacturers running multiple eyeshadow brands and frequent shade changes on shared equipment.

Embossed and Patterned Pans

Pressing of eyeshadow pans with embossed logos, patterns, or surface textures using engraved tooling.

Frequently Asked Questions and Solutions

Pan edges show cracking after pressing

Reduce main pressing speed, extend dwell time, or adjust the slow-release setting on the ejection stroke.

Multi-color filling shows uneven boundaries

Check powder channel sequencing, verify filling nozzle alignment, and adjust pre-press pressure to stabilize the powder layers before main pressing.

Powder sticking to punch faces

Apply approved mold release agent, reduce pressing force, or lower powder moisture content before pressing.

Inconsistent pan weight across cavities

Check filling auger calibration per channel, verify powder bulk density stability, and inspect the hopper for bridge formation.

Surface unevenness or lamination

Increase pre-press pressure, adjust powder particle size distribution, or extend dwell time during main pressing.

Changeover time between shades and formats

Use quick-release tooling clamps and recall stored recipes from the PLC for each product code.

Powder bridging in the hopper

Check for moisture ingress, verify hopper wall finish, and adjust agitation cycle to maintain steady powder flow.

Operating Notes

Verify powder moisture content before pressing; excessive moisture causes sticking and delamination.

Clean each powder channel after each batch to prevent cross-contamination between shades.

Check pressing pressure stability at the start of each shift.

Calibrate the filling system when changing to a powder with different bulk density.

Do not exceed the maximum pressing force specified for the installed tooling set.

Inspect punch and die surfaces for wear or scratches during routine maintenance.

Keep the PLC ventilation filter clean to avoid overheating in continuous operation.

Verify pan cavity alignment after any tooling change or format adjustment.

Store tooling in a dry environment to prevent corrosion on contact surfaces.
