This is a great idea if you need to easily fill many lotion bottles at once, and there are many different types of professional filling machines available. Search online for "Manual lotion filler for sale" to review different options. Select a machine that works for your needs and fits your budget. Most manual fillers feature a main fill tank, filling tip, and hand lever. The main tank is often located at the top of the machine. Take off the lid, and pour your lotion inside. You can use a spatula to help you scoop the lotion if you are having trouble. Every machine is slightly different, so read your instructions to ensure you are filling the tank correctly. The filling tip is the thin metal tube where lotion is dispensed. Lotion can drip from the filling tip if you leave the hand lever in the down position for just a second or 2. To avoid this, simply place a bowl underneath the metal tip. Then, any extra drips will fall into the bowl and you can easily wash them away. This way, lotion does not wind up on your bottles. To pour your lotion into the bottles, hold the lotion bottle up to the filling tip, and place the lotion bottle around the tip. This prevents the lotion from spraying as it comes out. In addition, it ensures you do not miss the tip of your bottle while filling it. Hold the lotion bottle in 1 hand. Then, pull down on the lever with the other hand to release your lotion from the machine. To stop the flow of lotion, move the lever back to the upwards position. The lotion will come out quickly. If you are filling a small bottle, 1 pump of the lever will likely fill your bottle. If your bottle is not completely full after 1 pump, then pull down on the lever again to release more product. Lift up on the handle when you reach the top to stop the lotion from dispensing. After your bottle is full, continue filling all of your bottles.
