Salve Pump/Dispenser?

[justin1287]

Is there anything made for filling salve containers?

I make about 200 2 oz salves at a time and need a way to do this that will not be as messy as hand pouring every one.

Thanks for any suggestions!

I think a post in shopping suggestions would be a good start - this section is for very beginner questions and making 200 lotions sounds more like "I'm selling" which is nothing a beginner should be saying!

Thanks for the heads up!

Any ideas anyone? Thanks!

Just an idea, but if it's 'pourable' you could put the salve in a disposable piping bag. Also there's an item that Wilton makes for about $10 for distributing cake icing. If this isn't what you were wanting to do, I apologize for the suggestion.

From a google search of SMF: http://www.soapmakingforum.com/showthread.php?p=589136

Search for Model A03 Filling machine (the equipment mentioned in the thread) on google to find ebay and amazon sellers.

Hey Baylee, thanks for the suggestion! It's not what I'm looking for, but appreciate the input

DeeAnna, thanks for the suggestion. I think this will work for my tincutres, but am worried that the salve will solidify in this machine. Do you happen to know if anyone makes something like this with a built in heater or double boiler? Thanks for your time!

I have utterly no idea. I simply did a google search as a courtesy. You're on your own with this. I'd ask the supplier.

I would imagine someone does. Maybe find a supplier who makes something similar to what you are looking for and ask them if they do it - if they don't, do they know of a good place to look

Thanks....working on it. If I find something, then I will post here to let others know!
