The 29th Shanghai Beauty Expo: Air Cushion Filling Machines Shine, Revolutionizing Cosmetic Production

From May 12 to 14, the 29th CBE China Beauty Expo successfully concluded at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. As Asia's largest and most influential beauty industry event, the expo attracted over 3,200 enterprises from more than 40 countries and regions, covering a 230,000-square-meter exhibition area with products spanning all sectors of cosmetics. Among the numerous exhibits, air cushion filling machines emerged as a highlight, drawing attention for their innovative technologies and outstanding performance—marking a new revolution in cosmetic manufacturing.

At the expo, multiple machinery enterprises showcased new-generation air cushion filling machines, which achieved significant breakthroughs in filling speed, precision, and material compatibility. Traditional air cushion filling equipment often relied on injection filling, suffering from slow speeds, material leakage from the cushion sides, incomplete filling, low volume, and inability to handle high-viscosity substances. The new machines, however, adopt a negative-pressure suction filling technology: a suction nozzle uses negative pressure to draw materials from the bottom of the air cushion case onto the sponge. This method not only increases filling volume but also enables processing of high-viscosity materials—for thicker substances, operators can adjust the negative pressure value to boost filling speed, effectively solving the limitations of older equipment.

Some models also feature advanced automated control systems, enabling fully automated production from air cushion case loading to filling and finished product unloading. This significantly improves efficiency and reduces labor costs. High-end devices are equipped with intelligent detection functions that monitor filling volume in real time, ensuring precise and consistent quantities for every air cushion product and minimizing quality errors.

In design, the machines offer greater versatility and user-friendliness. Adjustable suction holes on the filling nozzle, flexible up/down positioning, and controllable suction pressure and time make the equipment highly adaptable, catering to different manufacturers’ needs for air cushion products of varying specifications and materials.

Numerous beauty brands and manufacturers showed strong interest in the new machines. At the expo, many enterprises held in-depth negotiations with suppliers and expressed purchase intent. A procurement director from a leading domestic beauty brand noted: “As market demand for air cushion products grows, we require higher efficiency and quality from filling equipment. The air cushion filling machines at this expo reflect the latest industry trends—their advanced technology and stable performance will help us enhance product competitiveness and scale production.”

The expo served not only as a platform for cosmetic products but also as a key opportunity for upstream and downstream industry players to exchange ideas and drive technological innovation. The stunning debut of air cushion filling machines injects new vitality into the cosmetic manufacturing sector, pushing the industry toward smarter and more efficient production—and heralding a future of higher-quality, more diverse air cushion products in the beauty market.https://www.hrdautomaticequ.com/news/
