Let us first know what is a Lotion pump,
what is inside it and how does it work? These pumps are available in
various forms and are one of the most popular dispensing methods for
viscous or thick liquids in beauty and personal care industry. They come
in all shapes and sizes and when used correctly according to the
design, they dispense the right amount of products time after time.
Have you ever wondered, what goes inside a lotion pump to make it work the way it does? Generally speaking, a lotion pump has the following parts or components attached to it. Let's get into their brief detail one by one.
Actuator: The actuator is actually the
pump head which the consumer presses down to pump the product out of the
container. The actuator is generally made up of plastic and is designed
in various forms and shapes. They very often come up with up lock or
down lock feature to prevent accidental output.
Closer:
This component of the lotion dispenser screws the entire assembly of
the bottle to the neck. It is also made up of plastic and is designed
with a rib side or a smooth side surface. The shiny metal over shell is
installed in some of them to provide an elegant look.
A
lotion pump works very similar to an air suction device. It draws the
product from the bottle to the hand of the user despite the law of
gravity telling it to do the opposite.
Mist Sprayer:
A
mist sprayer is one of the common components in personal care industry
that delivers a fine mist spray when the consumer is dispensing the
product. There are hundreds of such Mist sprayers available in the market in various forms and sizes.
The
main component of a mist sprayer includes a dust cap, actuator and a
closer. The dust cap is made up of plastic and acts as a dust cover to
keep the liquid inside clean. The actuator works in a similar way as the
actuator of a lotion pump. The closer too works in a similar manner.
Crimp Sprayer Pump:
A Crimp sprayer pump
is most commonly used for dispensing fragrances and perfumes. These
pumps and dispensers are used for body sprays, eye glass cleaners,
breath sprays, vitamin sprays, room and car air fresheners and thousands
of other products that need controlled spraying. They are a very
economical alternative to screw on pumps and are preferred for their
elegant appearance.
