Filling Equipment Benefits Prove Far More Than Cosmetic

Added capacity and a quick ROI allow contract manufacturer Northwest Cosmetic Labs to more efficiently deliver their ‘Cosmovation’ process to global customer partners.

NCL uses groninger’s lite-F filler to provide accurate fills and deliver a return on investment of less than one year.

Who’s not looking for the “next big thing?”

In the areas of cosmetics and skin care manufacturing and packaging, Northwest Cosmetic Labs treats this search as “a way of life that envelopes every aspect of our company,” according to its trustncl.com website.
Driven by innovation, the Idaho Falls, ID-based contract manufacturer recognizes the significant role packaging plays in its efforts “to push the boundaries of the cosmetic industry,” says the website, “allowing NCL to become a trendsetter.”

Within the past year the company added to its packaging capabilities by purchasing one lite-F filling machine and one lite-C capping unit, both from groningerUSA. A second filler is in NCL’s capital plan for 2017.

‘Cosmovation’ process
The equipment is critical in the company’s Cosmovation Process™, which NCL says takes a project from “ideation to actualization.”

“Starting with an idea developed by NCL in the Innovation Center or developed by the customer, the process begins with collaboration to determine characteristics of the formula and the desired end result,” says Bryce Rasmussen, the company’s Director of Operations. “While the formula is created by an experienced chemist, the packaging project manager will work with the customer to decide on the ideal packaging for the formula.”

Next in the process, NCL’s Quality team ensures proper testing is completed on the formula to give the customer peace of mind. Once testing is completed, an order is placed and NCL’s software, monitored by customer service personnel, completes the process of ordering and scheduling the necessary supplies for the new product.

When the scheduled product is nearing production, raw materials are pulled and precisely weighed as part of the compounding process. Formulas are compounded with accurate measurements and instructions, creating an identical scale-up of the lab-created samples. Finished bulk product is subsequently tested per customer specification. Once that step is passed, the green light is given to begin filling on the production line.
