(CASE STUDY) How a Melbourne Cosmetics Plant Cut Costs and Gained Flexibility

LOCATION: South East Melbourne, Australia

INDUSTRY: Cosmetics manufacturer

PRODUCT USED: Europress 316L stainless steel pipework system

Europress for Cosmetic

The Challenge

In cosmetics manufacturing, precision matters. Every new formula or ingredient tweak has to be tested before it hits full production.

But running trials through a main process plant is expensive, time-consuming, and disruptive, especially when cleaning down between runs can take hours and waste valuable product.

The client needed a way to carry out small-scale batch tests quickly, safely, and cost-effectively, without tying up the main production line.

The Solution

The installation team designed and built a dedicated pilot batching plant to give the company freedom to test new formulations independently.

For the pipework, they chose Europress stainless steel press fittings, the same system used in the main plant.

Why?

Because Europress is fast, safe, and clean, perfect for environments where hygiene and precision count.

With no welding, no naked flames, and no gas bottles, installation was up to 10x faster than TIG welding, keeping the project on schedule and within budget.

The Result

The cosmetics manufacturer can now batch test new products on a smaller scale, cutting down costs, ingredient waste, and downtime on the main line.

When a trial passes testing, scaling up to full production is seamless, the pilot system mirrors the main plant setup.

Takeaway for Manufacturers

If you need flexibility to trial new products without disrupting production, Europress gives you a faster, safer, and more reliable way to get there.

It’s innovation that pays for itself, one batch at a time.

Small runs. Big results.
