Ordinary Lotion Pump


Often used in daily chemical products such as shampoo, shower gel, hair conditioner, body lotion, facial cleanser, hand sanitizer, dish soap, laundry detergent, disinfectant, mouthwash, etc., as well as hand cream, toner, essence General cosmetics such as lotion, sunscreen, liquid foundation, etc.


Ordinary lotion pumps are generally equipped with rubber hoses, and the pumping volume is generally 1.0-5.0ml/time, which is often suitable for materials with better fluidity/low viscosity. Materials with poor fluidity/high viscosity need to use specially designed emulsion pumps, such as high-viscosity emulsion pumps.


The decoration of ordinary lotion pumps is relatively simple, and the common ones are: adding alumina cover, electroplating, printing, bronzing and other processes.



Lotion pumps are used in a wide range of applications. Whether customers choose lotion pump products or manufacturers recommend lotion pumps to end customers, some factors need to be considered for reference when choosing.


 1. Select According To The Compatibility Of The Raw Materials Of The Emulsion Pump And The Liquid


Must be able to pass compatibility tests.


 2. Select According To The Range Of Pump Output


Before the end product goes on the market, there is usually a consumer survey link, basically there will be a preliminary suggested usage. According to this amount of use, the specification of the lotion pump can be selected according to this, or the integer pumping times of the pumped amount can reach the recommended amount of use. General: Suggested usage = (1-2) * pumped volume.

For example: if the recommended dosage is 1.0ml/time, you can choose a lotion pump with a pumping volume of 1.0ml/time, or a lotion pump with a pumping volume of 0.5ml/time.


 3. Choose According To The Final Packaging Form


The packaging capacity has been confirmed, and then according to the size of the packaging capacity and the expected number of uses, select the specification of the lotion pump. Generally, the number of times a package is used is 100-300 times.


Example 1: The 100ml bottle has been confirmed. The specification of the lotion pump can be 1.0ml/time, and it can be used about 100 times, or the specification of the lotion pump can be 0.5ml/time, and it can be used about 200 times.


Example 2: It has been confirmed that the 500ml bottle is confirmed. The specification of the lotion pump can be 2.0ml/time, and it can be used about 250 times, or the specification of the lotion pump can be 3.5ml/time, and it can be used about 140 times.


 4. Select According To The Caliber Specifications Of The Lotion Pump And Bottle


The lotion pump and the bottle mouth are generally based on thread fit, and there is a common standard in the industry. Generally, suppliers produce lotion pumps according to this standard, and customers choose lotion pumps according to this specification.

Common diameters: 18mm, 20mm, 22mm, 24mm, 28mm, 33mm, 38mm;


Common specifications: 400, 410, 415.


5. Select According To The Viscosity/Fluidity Characteristics Of The Feed Liquid


Regarding the viscosity/fluidity of the feed liquid, the product terminal will have specific data, but for emulsion pump manufacturers, these data are lacking.


Usually, the material liquid can be poured into the beaker and judged according to the liquid level:


(1). The liquid level can reach the level in an instant without any traces on the liquid level. All emulsion pumps and derivative pumps can be used, and only need to consider the characteristics of the material liquid formula to choose the right one.


(2). The liquid level can quickly reach the level, but the liquid level has slight accumulation marks. The spray pump needs to verify its spray effect. Other emulsion pumps and derivative pumps can be used.


(3). If the liquid level can reach the level within 1-2 seconds, and there are obvious signs of accumulation on the liquid surface, it is necessary to use a lotion pump with strong suction and spring force. High viscosity pumps are preferred, followed by vacuum tank/bottle packaging .


(4). There are obvious signs of accumulation on the liquid surface, and it cannot reach the horizontal state in a short time. High-viscosity pumps also need to be verified. Prioritize the use of vacuum tank/bottle packaging, or choose lid packaging.


(5). Turn the beaker with the feed liquid upside down. The feed liquid cannot be poured out in a short time, and only vacuum tanks, or other packaging forms such as lids, hoses, and cans can be used.


Other Pump Options


Airless pumps, spray pumps, Foam Pumps, Large Output Pumps, oil pumps, metal pumps, toothpaste pumps, high viscous pumps, All Plastic Pumps, anti counterfeiting pumps, etc.


Airless lotion pump


It often appears in the form of matching bottles, tanks, tubes, etc. to ensure that the contents are completely isolated from the air during the use of the product. Airless lotion pump and supporting products are mainly suitable for the use of products that are volatile and susceptible to air deterioration in the material, and are often used in high-end cosmetic packaging.


Airless lotion pumps generally have no rubber hose, and the pumping volume is generally 0.2-1.0ml/time, which is suitable for materials with poor fluidity or high viscosity.


The decoration and structure of the Airless emulsion pump are relatively rich, such as: adding an aluminum oxide cover, electroplating, spraying, hot stamping, printing, laser, laser, labeling, sandblasting, etc., as well as double-layer structure and double-head structure that can use transparent shells. Structure (two materials at both ends), double-cavity structure (two bottles and two pumps in one package), etc., for the packaging needs of medium and high-end products.



Spray Pump


It is a pump product that atomizes and sprays out the contents. According to the design of matching with the bottle mouth, it can be divided into tie-top type and screw-top type. According to the function of the product, it can be divided into ordinary spray pumps, valves (pump type), trigger sprayers, etc.


Spray pump products are mainly suitable for toner, perfume, toilet water, disinfectant water, gel water, air freshener, collar cleaner, detergent, insecticide, etc. In the packaging of thinner liquid foundation, sunscreen, BB liquid and other products.


Spray pumps are generally equipped with rubber hoses, and the pumping volume is generally 0.1-0.3ml/time, and there are also 1.0-3.5ml/times.


Common decorations of spray pumps include: adding alumina cover, electroplating, spraying, printing, bronzing and other processes.



Foam Pump


It is a pump product that presses out the contents together with air to form foam. Commonly found in product packaging such as hand sanitizers and cleaning agents. The material body is relatively thin and the foam is relatively rich.


Foam pumps generally have rubber hoses, and the pumping volume is generally 0.4-1.0ml/time.



Large Output Pump


As the name implies, it refers to pump products with relatively large pump output. Commonly used in food packaging, such as ketchup, salad dressing and other food packaging with certain fluidity.


Large output pumps generally also have rubber hoses, and the pump output is 5-20ml/time.



Oil Pump


It is mainly suitable for all oily or oily materials such as baby oil, moisturizing oil, and cleansing oil. Its focus is on compatibility.



Metal Pump


The appearance of the pump is all made of metal, such as stainless steel, to achieve a specific appearance.



Toothpaste pump, high viscous pump, plastic pump, anti-counterfeiting pump and so on.
