Reference Project — Sample Configuration
BOV Cosmetic Line
Premium · 800 cph · Bag-on-Valve
Target Customer
Cosmetics and personal care brands launching premium BOV (Bag-on-Valve) products: sunscreens, facial mists, thermal water sprays, preservative-free formulations. BOV enables 360° spray and pure product dispensing without propellant contact.
Equipment Configuration
| Model | Equipment | Why This Choice |
|---|---|---|
| FD9606 | BOV Semi-Auto Filler (Type B) | Mid-range BOV system. Under-cap gassing with compressed air/N₂ + through-stem liquid filling + sealing. 600-1,000 cph. |
| — | Air Compressor + Filtration | Oil-free compressor with 0.01μm coalescing filter for clean compressed air supply to BOV gassing |
| FD9955 | Hot Water Bath Leak Tester | Leak verification. BOV cans have different leak characteristics — water bath validates seal integrity. |
| FD9954 | Automatic Checkweigher | Critical for BOV: verify both product fill AND gassing pressure by weight |
Production Process
| 1. Can Preparation | BOV can with pre-inserted bag-and-valve assembly loaded onto filling station |
| 2. Under-Cap Gassing | FD9606 injects compressed air or N₂ under the valve cap — pressurizes space between bag and can wall |
| 3. Liquid Filling | Product (sunscreen, mist, serum) injected through valve stem into inner bag. Product never contacts propellant. |
| 4. Valve Sealing | FD9606 seals valve to create permanent closure — bag is now pressurized and sealed |
| 5. Leak Testing | FD9955 water bath verifies no propellant or product leakage |
| 6. Weight Verification | FD9954 confirms correct product fill + propellant charge by weight |
| 7. Actuator + Cap | Manual placement of BOV-specific actuator and overcap |
Estimated Budget
| FD9606 BOV Filler | $18,000 – $25,000 |
| Oil-Free Air Compressor + Filtration | $3,000 – $5,000 |
| QC Equipment | $8,000 – $12,000 |
| Installation & Commissioning | $3,000 – $5,000 |
| Total Investment | $32,000 – $47,000 |
Facility Requirements
40-60 m² for ISO 8 cleanroom-compatible production. Production: ~25 m². QC lab: ~10 m². Raw materials (temperature-controlled): ~15 m². BOV requires cleaner environment than standard aerosol — budget for air filtration and positive pressure.
Operators: 2-3 workers. Cleanroom gowning procedures apply for cosmetic GMP.
💡 Why This Configuration
BOV is the fastest-growing aerosol segment for cosmetics. No propellant-product contact means preservative-free claims are possible. 360° spray is a strong consumer differentiator. The FD9606 balances entry cost with production speed — ideal for brands launching 3-5 BOV SKUs.
