Multi Station Cosmetic Powder Press

Rotary multi-station pressing platform for cosmetic powder compaction, with independent station pressure control, recipe-driven changeover, and continuous production output.

6 to 24 Stations 3 to 20 Tons Per Station Up to 120 Pans Per Minute

Product Introduction

The Multi Station Cosmetic Powder Press is a rotary-type pressing system that performs filling, pre-pressing, main pressing, and ejection across multiple stations arranged on a rotating table. Each station operates with independent pressure and dwell time settings, allowing different pan formats or powder formulations to run in the same cycle when required. The machine is controlled by a PLC with touchscreen interface, supporting recipe storage for repeatable production parameters. Tooling sets are interchangeable for round, square, oval, and custom-shaped pans. The multi-station configuration reduces idle time between pressing cycles and supports continuous output for eyeshadow, blush, foundation, highlighter, and bronzer production. Enclosed powder handling and recovery channels reduce material loss and maintain a cleaner working area.

Core Advantages

Parallel Station Operation

Multiple stations perform pressing simultaneously on a rotating table, reducing cycle time per pan compared with single-station pressing.

Independent Station Control

Each station can be assigned individual pressure, dwell time, and filling depth parameters through the PLC interface.

Recipe Management

Production parameters are stored as recipes for each product code, allowing repeatable setup between batches.

Format Flexibility

Interchangeable tooling supports multiple pan shapes and sizes on the same rotary platform.

Reduced Material Loss

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

Continuous Output

The rotary indexing system maintains a steady production flow with minimal pause between pressing cycles.

Application Scenarios

High-Volume Color Cosmetics

Continuous pressing of eyeshadow and blush pans for large production batches with consistent density.

Pressed Foundation Lines

Compaction of pressed foundation and powder compacts with station-level pressure control for uniform surface finish.

Multi-Format Palettes

Production of palettes containing different pan sizes or shapes within the same pressing cycle.

Highlighter and Bronzer

Pressing of highlighter and bronzer pans, including marbled and multi-tone formulations.

Contract Manufacturing

Suitable for cosmetic contract manufacturers running multiple brands and frequent product changeovers.

Sample and Travel Formats

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

Frequently Asked Questions and Solutions

Uneven density between stations

Verify individual station pressure calibration and check for hydraulic pressure drop across the rotary manifold.

Pan edges show cracking after pressing

Reduce main pressing speed, increase pre-press dwell time, or adjust binder ratio in the formula.

Inconsistent pan weight across stations

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

Powder sticking to punch faces

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

Rotary table indexing error

Inspect index drive mechanism, verify encoder signal, and check for obstruction in the station guide rails.

Changeover time between formats

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

Surface unevenness or lamination

Increase pre-press pressure, adjust powder particle size distribution, or reduce main pressing speed.

Operating Notes

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

Clean each station after each batch to prevent cross-contamination between color formulas.

Check hydraulic oil level and pressure stability at the start of each shift.

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

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

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

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

Verify rotary table indexing accuracy after any tooling change or station adjustment.

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