JHF-6 six-nozzle hot filling and cooling line, CE-certified under AT185114C4000321

Cosmetic filling machine selection involves far more than comparing a spec sheet. For brand owners and OEM/ODM factories that supply Europe, CE certification is a non-negotiable constraint. The equipment must also match the formula, container, output target and clean-room conditions of the actual production line. This guide reviews the parameters and certification evidence that matter when selecting a cosmetic filling machine, with reference to the documented product range and CE files of GIENICOS.

SHANGHAI GIENI INDUSTRY CO., LTD (brand: GIENICOS) was founded in Shanghai in 2011 and specializes in intelligent cosmetic filling and packaging equipment. Its main products cover lipgloss filling, mascara filling, lipstick filling, hot pouring, nail polish filling, eyeliner filling, powder pressing, cream filling and complete cosmetic filling lines. The factory is located in Baihao AI Technology Park, Jiading North Industrial Park, Jiading District, Shanghai.

Problem Definition: What Makes a CE-Certified Cosmetic Filling Machine Hard to Compare

Buyers in the Research and Evaluation stage often face three issues when comparing cosmetic filling machines:

Certification ambiguity. A supplier may claim CE compliance without showing a certificate that lists the exact model series. In the EU, a CE certificate for filling machinery should reference EN 60204-1:2018 (electrical safety of machinery) and EN ISO 12100:2010 (risk assessment for machinery), and should be issued by a recognized compliance laboratory.

Parameter inconsistency. Filling precision is often quoted as one number, but real precision depends on formula viscosity, container shape, pump type and temperature. For example, the JQL-02N nail polish filling machine states approximately ±0.15 g, subject to material formula and other factors. Buyers need to ask what conditions the precision value assumes.

Scope mismatch. A machine built for 5 mL mascara tubes will not necessarily handle 200 mL cream jars. GIENICOS solves this through multiple model families: rotary semi-automatic machines for lipgloss and mascara, servo piston machines for high-viscosity products, and customizable hot filling lines for lip balm and wax-based formulations.

Industry Background: Automation and Compliance Are Converging

Three public data points put the CE-certified cosmetic filling machine market in perspective, based on sources harvested in August 2026:

• The global cosmetic filling machines market was valued at USD 476.80 million in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 718.63 million by 2036, according to Future Market Insights.
• Automatic filling machines are expected to hold a 41.2% share of the cosmetic filling technology market in 2026, according to the same source.
• The automatic lipstick filling machines market is projected to reach USD 1.2 billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2025, according to Strategic Revenue Insights.

Automatic, CE-certified lines are no longer reserved for multinational cosmetic groups. Mid-size OEM/ODM factories increasingly specify documented certification, higher output and clean-grade compatible materials when buying cosmetic filling equipment.

Step-by-Step: How to Evaluate a CE-Certified Cosmetic Filling Machine

Step 1: Define product and package constraints. List the formulas, fill weights, container diameters and lengths, and required output. For mascara, a typical requirement might be 2–14 mL, 40–90 mm container length and 40–45 ppm. For toner, the requirement might be 10–300 mL and up to 15,000 mPa.s viscosity.

Step 2: Verify certification documents. Ask for the CE certificate number and check that the exact model is listed. Confirm that the certificate references EN 60204-1:2018 and EN ISO 12100:2010, and note the issuing laboratory. In the GIENICOS documentation, certificates are issued by Anbotek Compliance Laboratory companies.

Step 3: Compare filling accuracy and speed under stated conditions. Precision values should be evaluated together with formula and pump type. JQL-02N states ±0.15 g subject to material formula; JLG-10/12 states ±0.1 g. Output also depends on nozzle count and container handling.

Step 4: Check wetted materials and cleaning. SUS316L product-contact parts are preferred for cosmetic GMP environments. The JLF-A loose powder filling machine uses SUS316L product-contact parts, and the JQL-04C cushion filling machine uses SUS316L wetted parts. Modular and fast-disassembly designs reduce downtime.

Step 5: Confirm customization and changeover capability. GIENICOS supports customization of voltage, logo, automation degree, tank size, filling method and speed request. The JHF line configuration is customizable based on product and container requirements. The JRS-G1 quick-release valve supports 2–3 minute color changes.

Step 6: Review quality control and after-sales service. GIENICOS performs 100% OQC testing before shipping.
