Flexible and Precise: Taiwan Kinki’s Vertical Injection Molding Machine Powers Cosmetic Manufacturing

From the allure of a perfectly sculpted lipstick bullet to the smooth glide of a cosmetic pen core, beauty and precision go hand in hand.

According to Statista, the beauty industry generated approximately USD 93 billion in revenue in 2022. Although the pandemic caused a decline in global market valuation from 2019 to 2020, the sector has steadily recovered since 2021. The industry is projected to expand at a CAGR of about 6%, reaching around USD 125.4 billion by 2027—an increase of USD 32.3 billion (35%) from the current level. The global cosmetics industry thrives on luxury design and impeccable attention to detail, with manufacturers continually seeking advanced production solutions to meet the ever-evolving demands of beauty enthusiasts.

But do you know what it takes to make lipstick?

● Lipstick is composed of a blend of oils, waxes, moisturizers, fragrances, essential oils, and more; each brand offers its own unique formula.

● Pour the mixture into the prepared tube molds, controlling the speed and amount to avoid air bubbles. A vacuum device can prevent any air from being trapped inside the product, thereby enhancing its quality.

● Let the lip balm cool to room temperature until it solidifies. Once cooled, transfer the lip balm into the tube packaging and seal it.

● Finally, a quality check is conducted to evaluate each product's appearance, texture, and packaging to ensure it is in good condition. Once it passes inspection, labels can be applied, and the product can be shipped.

The tube that holds the lip balm is essential for product packaging. When making the tube connector, it is crucial to ensure that it can be securely and tightly attached to the tube without leaking. Manufacturing methods vary depending on the tube material, connector design, and intended application.

Common tube coupling designs, which vary depending on the application, include:

(1) Threaded fittings: designed with external or internal threads, used for connecting with other threaded fittings.

(2) Clamp couplings: tubes are secured by clamps and are often used to transmit liquids or gases.

(3) Flanged couplings: designed for high-pressure piping requiring a robust connection.

(4) Quick couplings: designed for rapid disconnection of connections, typically featuring a locking mechanism.

TKC's KVV+VV-45X2-3R is innovative in that it combines “threaded couplings” and “clamped couplings” in one coupling via one-piece molding. This machine's design provides the final product with stability, durability, and comfort.

Although it may be a small product, it is more intricate than you might imagine. It presents complex technology simply and efficiently, bringing great convenience to daily life.
