  • Another object of the invention is to provide a machine and a method that are simple and inexpensive relative to traditional machines.
  • An additional object of the invention is to provide a machine and a method that allow to position the compacted powder cosmetic products in their containers limiting the risk of mutual pollution.
  • the machine 1 comprises a support 2 which is able to receive the loose powder from a distributor 3 and to collaborate with a forming unit 4 able to separate and compact part of the loose powder, obtaining portions of compacted powder 6.
  • the machine 1 further comprises a conveying unit 7 able to move the portions of compacted powder 6 into a container 8.
  • the forming unit 4 comprises a dinking die 10 that presents a closed contour, e.g. an arc of a circle, half-moon, triangle, etc; the dinking die 10 is fastened to a first actuator 12 for its actuation in translation.
  • a closed contour e.g. an arc of a circle, half-moon, triangle, etc.
  • a presser 13 Within the dinking die 10 is slidable a presser 13 which in turn is fastened to a second actuator 15 for its actuation in translation.
  • the first and the second actuator 12, 15 are both connected to a command controller 17.
  • the controller 17 is able to command the first and the second actuator 12, 15 so the dinking die 10 and the presser 13 translate jointly for a first predetermined segment; in practice the dinking die and the presser translate jointly until the blade 19 of the dinking die 10 and the pressing surface 20 of the presser 13 move to the free surface of the powder when some powder is positioned on the support 2; in particular during the translation of the dinking die 10 and of the presser 13 in this first segment, the cutter 19 of the dinking die 10 and the pressing surface 20 of the presser 13 are substantially aligned to each other.
  • the controller 17 is able to stop the presser 13 relative to the support 2; since the powder is positioned on the support 2, the pressing surface 20 of the presser is at a predetermined position relative to the free surface of the powder; in practice, said predetermined position is made to match the free surface of the powder and therefore, at the end of the first segment, the blade 19 of the dinking die 10 and the pressing surface 20 of the presser 13 are at the free surface of the powder.
  • the dinking die 10 continues to advance, separates a portion of powder from the rest of the loose powder.
  • controller 17 also commands the advance of the presser 13, so that it compresses the powder that was separated by the dinking die 10, obtaining the compacted powder product 6.
  • the first actuator 12 comprises a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder
  • the second actuator 15 comprises an electric motor provided with a gear that actuates a worm screw having an end fastened to the presser 13.
  • the dinking die 10 is integral with a frame that is actuated by the cylinder 12; on the frame is positioned the motor 15 that actuates the presser 13.
  • the motor 15 actuates it to make it move rearwards relative to the dinking die 10; in practice, therefore, the presser remains motionless at the free surface of the powder.
  • controller 17 comprises a PLC that governs the electric motor 15 and the cylinder 12, where the PLC is also connected to an element 23 for controlling the position of the presser 13.
  • the element 23 that controls the position of the presser 13 comprises a linear potentiometer 25 fastened to the axis of the cylinder 12 and electrically connected to the PLC.
  • the support 2 comprises a plate provided with at least one seat 30 (in the example shown, four seats are represented); each seat 30 is able to house the powder dispensed by the distributor 3 and it is provided with a bottom coated with an anti-adherence material 32.
  • the plate 2 is rotatable to bring each seat 30 between a loading station 35 and a forming station 36.
  • the distributor 3 comprises a container 40 provided with a lower opening 41 facing the seat 30 and it is connected to a motor (not shown) for its actuation in oscillation.
  • the container 40 presents in its interior also an agitator 43 able to actuate the powder inside the container 40, to allow the dispensing of the powder from the container 40 to the seat 30 through the opening 41.
  • the agitator 43 comprises a cage structure made of typically metallic wire-like elements (e.g. made of steel).
  • the container 40 is surmounted by a powder dispenser 45, e.g. of the auger type.
  • Each seat 30 present a mouth 47 having a greater surface than the corresponding surface of the opening 41; in this way, the container 40 can oscillate maintaining its own opening 41 always facing the mouth 47.
  • the container 40 presents its own lower wall 48 provided with the opening 41 that is positioned in sliding contact with the plate 2; in this regard, the plate 2 is advantageously completely coated (only its upper surface that goes in sliding contact with the container 4) by an anti-adherence material.
  • the machine comprises elements for ejecting the powder that remains in the seat itself after the formation of the portions of compacted powder.
  • Said ejection elements comprise a mechanism (not shown) able to actuate the bottom of the seat making it rotate and/or translate, in such a way as to unload the powder that is not used in the forming station 36, freeing the seat 30.
  • figure 2 shows an ejection station 50 in which the bottom wall of a seat 30 was inverted and the residual powder not used in the station 36 and unloaded from the seat 30 is removed through a hole 51 of the plate 2.
  • the conveying unit 7 comprises a plate 55 presenting its surface provided with a plurality of opening 57 (through holes) through which air is aspirated.
  • This plate 55 is movable between the forming station 36, where the portion of compacted powder 6 retained by the dinking die 10 is released by means of the presser 13 on the plate 55 at the holes 57, an upsetting area 58, in which the plate 55 is upset orienting the portion of compacted powder 6 downwards (in this case the portion of compacted powder 6 is retained fastened to the plate 55 preventing its fall by aspiration of air through the openings 57), and a release station 59 of the portion of compacted powder 6 in the container 8.
  • the plate 55 passes at one or more aspirator, in such a way as to eliminate any free grains of powder positioned on the plate 55 or on the portion of compacted powder 6 itself.
  • the machine presents a first aspirator 60, positioned between the forming station 36 and the upsetting area 58, underneath which passes the plate 55, so that the first aspirator 60 aspirates and eliminates any free grains of powder positioned both on the plate 55 and above the portion of compacted powder 6.
  • the machine is also provided with a second aspirator 62, positioned between the upsetting area 58 and the release station 59, above which passes the plate 55 with the portion of compacted powder 6 suspended, such that the second aspirator 62 aspirates and eliminates any additional free grains of powder located on the plate or on the portion of compacted powder.
  • the agitator 43 rotates inside the container 40 and the container 40 oscillates, in such a way as to cause the dispensing of powder through the opening 41.
  • the powder fills the seat 30 and, thanks to the fact that there is sliding contact between support 2 and container 40, the powder is also leveled, such as to obtain a layer of powder with constant thickness equal to the depth of the seat 30.
  • the dinking die 10 and the presser 13 descend until they come to the free surface of the powder.
  • the presser 13 stops, while the dinking die continues its travel, separating a predetermined portion of powder from the loose powder.
  • the presser 13 also descends by a predetermined distance, pressing the powder and generating a compacted powder product.
  • the support 2 rotates and brings the seat 30 to the ejection station 50 where the powder that has not been utilized is removed from the seat 30; an additional rotation of the support 2 brings the seat 30 back to the loading station 35.
  • the presser 13 advances laying the compacted powder product 6 on the plate 55 itself, at the holes 57.
  • the plate 55 is made to advance towards the release station 59.
  • the plate 55 is made to pass under the first aspirator 60, then it is upset and subsequently it is made to pass over the second aspirator 62.
  • the aspiration of air through the holes 57 of the plate 55 is interrupted in order to cause the fall of the compacted powder product into the container 8 in predetermined position.
  • the compacted powder product is a cosmetic product, such as face powder, blusher, earth, or others.
  • the present invention further relates to a method for manufacturing compacted powder cosmetic products.
  • the method consists of dispensing loose powder on the support 2 and form part of the loose powder by dinking the loose powder with the dinking die 10 and compacting it with the presser 13, in order to obtain portions of compacted powder.
  • the finking die 10 and the presser 13 are made to advance jointly until they are at the surface of the powder, with the cutter 19 of the dinking die 10 and the pressing surface 20 of the presser 13 substantially aligned to each other.
  • the presser 13 is stopped when its pressing situation 20 reaches the free surface of the powder, so that the dinking die 10, continuing to advance, separates a portion of powder from the rest of the powder.
  • controller 13 is made to advance so that it compresses the powder that was separated by the dinking die 10, obtaining the compacted powder product.
