From the functional segmentation of health foods to the packaging iteration of catering products, and the convenient upgrades of beauty products, small-cup packaging technology is becoming a core engine of product innovation. Whether it's the precise filling of micronutrients or the simultaneous packaging of complex forms, SUNYI Machinery, with its customized design and intelligent control, provides global customers with small-cup filling and sealing equipment suitable for diverse scenarios. Below, we outline eight application scenarios for our equipment in the health industry, the broader food sector, and the beauty industry.
Health Industry
①Probiotics
The probiotic products are packaged in small cups, effectively ensuring the activity of live bacteria and providing convenient daily nutritional supplementation, while avoiding the problem of bacterial inactivation after opening traditional large packages. Addressing the extreme sensitivity of probiotic powder to humidity and oxygen, SUNYI equipment integrates nitrogen replacement and aluminum film sealing technology, ensuring residual oxygen ≤1% and humidity ≤30%RH throughout the filling process, guaranteeing a live bacteria survival rate of ≥90%. It supports micro-filling from 0-2g and is compatible with various capsule cup formats.
② Powder-liquid separator bottle cap
The "powder-liquid separation cap" can be used not only for coffee and tea, but also for healthy herbal beverages such as Kunzhilan goji berry water. The packaging consists of a cap containing the powder, bottled water, or liquid ingredients. Consumers press or twist the cap before drinking to achieve instant mixing. This powder-liquid separation design preserves the freshness of the prepared beverage while allowing for zero additives, providing consumers with a convenient experience to enjoy anytime, anywhere.
SUNYI Machinery has the capability to research and develop bottle cap filling equipment for locking in freshness. It has already helped Kunzhilan Goji Berry Water achieve bottle cap filling production in the health food field, efficiently solving various problems such as bottle cap sterilization, filling and sealing, and connecting to aseptic water lines, and providing room temperature preservation solutions for non-aqueous active nutrients.
③ Tablet filling
"Tablet" products include pills, vitamin tablets, herbal tablets, etc., and are mostly packaged in bottles. Small cup packaging provides precise dosage, is convenient to carry and take, and avoids the risks of moisture or oxidation associated with traditional bottled tablets.
For tablet filling, SUNYI equipment is equipped with a vision counting + flexible feeding system, with an adjustable filling volume of 1-3 tablets per cup. It supports filling irregularly shaped tablets, and the sealed container can be opened with an easy-tear film, improving the user experience. SUNYI has already helped customers develop and implement two-column tablet counting and sealing machines, possessing mature and reliable tablet filling experience.
④ Micro-metering filling
"Micro-dosing" products include freeze-dried bird's nest powder and high-concentration vitamins, often packaged in mini capsule cups or dropper bottles. These high-priced raw materials require precise packaging to ensure the effective ingredient content of each product, providing a cost-effective health solution. SUNYI equipment is equipped with micro-screw pumps or nano-level peristaltic pumps for micro-dosing products, achieving milligram-level filling accuracy. Combined with inert gas protection and other processes, this ensures zero loss and zero oxidation of precious ingredients.
Food Industry
① Sauce filling
"Sauce" products include hot pot base, ketchup, etc., and are mainly packaged in small cups or strips, such as KFC sweet and sour sauce, suitable for single-use by one person. Shenyi equipment is adapted to semi-solid sauce products in small cup packaging. The equipment adopts an anti-drip filling + servo pressing system, which can easily handle high-viscosity materials and supports quantitative filling of 0-20g.
② Liquid filling
Liquid filling is widely used in various industries such as food, beverages, condiments, and daily chemicals. Whether it is a low-viscosity aqueous liquid or a high-viscosity oily liquid, liquid filling technology is constantly being upgraded to meet consumers' demands for convenience, accuracy, and product freshness.
SUNYI equipment can cover the filling range of liquid viscosity from 0 to 500 cps by flexibly adjusting the filling method. The equipment has high filling accuracy and high production efficiency, and supports ion wind dust blowing and strong ultraviolet sterilization to improve product cleanliness, meeting the comprehensive and diversified needs of liquid filling.
③ Pet food
With the rapid development of the pet economy and the upgrading of pet owners' consumption concepts, "small cup pet food" is becoming a new market favorite. Whether it's wet food, dry food, or functional snacks, the small cup design, with its unique advantages, meets the multiple needs of modern pet owners for precise feeding, convenient use, and quality assurance. Based on the different forms and characteristics of pet food, SUNYI equipment can flexibly adjust the appropriate filling method, providing mature pet food packaging solutions that are efficient, precise, safe, and hygienic.
Beauty Industry
"Small-sized beauty products" are becoming a new trend in the industry. Whether it's skincare, makeup, or functional serums, the small-cup design, with its unique advantages, meets the diverse needs of modern consumers for precise dosage, convenient use, and novel experiences.
Currently, SUNYI provides packaging solutions for beauty products such as facial masks and serums, and has successfully implemented multiple beauty product filling equipment, which can achieve high-precision, high-speed, and aseptic filling, helping companies achieve efficient filling and automated production.
From micronutrients that protect health to food sauces that ignite the taste buds, and then to portable beauty products, small-cup packaging technology is redefining the value boundaries of products. SUNYI Machinery, guided by the corporate philosophy of "Exploring the Unknown, Creating the Future," continuously promotes the intelligent and flexible upgrading of its equipment, providing customers with customized intelligent packaging solutions to help them seize opportunities in diverse markets.
