Face Powder Production Equipment

Automatic Face Powder Pressing Machine

Automated pressing system for face powder pan production, performing powder filling, pre-pressing, main pressing, and ejection in a continuous cycle, with pressure and dwell parameters set through the PLC for loose-to-compact face powder formulas.

3-25 Tons Pressing Force

20-50 Pans Per Minute

+/-1.5% Filling Accuracy

Product Introduction

The Automatic Face Powder Pressing Machine is designed for converting loose face powder into pressed pans through an automated sequence of quantitative filling, pre-pressing, main pressing, and ejection. The machine accommodates loose-to-compact face powder formulas, including translucent setting powders, tinted powders, and pressed powder foundations. Pressing force, dwell time, and filling depth are configured through the PLC touchscreen, with parameters stored as recipes for each product code. Tooling is interchangeable for the wide pan diameters used in face powder compacts, including round, square, oval, and custom profiles. The enclosed powder handling zone and recovery channel limit airborne material and reduce buildup around the pressing area. The machine is applied in face powder production where repeatable pan density, controlled surface finish, and consistent output are required across batches.

Core Advantages

Wide Pan Format Coverage

Tooling accommodates the larger pan diameters typical of face powder compacts, with uniform filling across the pan surface.

Formula-Adaptive Pressing

Pressing force, dwell time, and pressing speed are set through the PLC to suit loose, semi-compact, and hard-pressed face powder formulas.

Recipe-Based Changeover

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

Surface Finish Control

Pre-press and main press stages are separately adjustable, supporting consistent surface finish and reduced lamination on large pans.

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.

Production of tinted face powder pans in a range of shades with consistent pan-to-pan color distribution.

Pressed Powder Foundation

Compaction of pressed powder foundation pans with adjustable pressing profile for different coverage levels.

Compact and Refill Formats

Pressing of face powder pans for compact assemblies and refill pan formats in round, square, and oval profiles.

Sample and Travel Compacts

Small-batch pressing for sample kits and travel-size face powder compacts with recipe-based parameter recall.

Embossed and Patterned Pans

Pressing of face powder 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.

Surface unevenness on large pans

Increase pre-press pressure, verify punch face flatness, and confirm filling distribution across the pan cavity.

Powder sticking to punch faces

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

Inconsistent pan weight across batches

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

Lamination or splitting in thick pans

Extend pre-press dwell time, adjust powder particle size distribution, or reduce main pressing speed to allow air escape.

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 the agitation cycle to maintain steady powder flow.

Operating Notes

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

Clean the pressing area 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.
