At the moment, pumps used in the production of beauty and personal care products are specially designed to pump liquids, creams, oils and other products used in the process of skin, hair and body care. Some of the pumps commonly used in the cosmetics and personal care industry include diaphragm, gear, peristaltic, and reciprocating pumps. These pumps are necessary for the precise dispensing of various ingredients such as creams, lotions, perfumes, and other liquid products in the cosmetic industry.
Despite their simple design and operating principle, Valisi plastic diaphragm pumps are characterised by exceptional performance and reliability. They can be used to pump clean liquids with low viscosity as well as abrasive liquids with medium viscosity. In addition, these pumps can handle large particles without damaging the equipment. And thanks to the pneumatic motor, they can be used in explosive atmospheres.
The modern metal diaphragm pump of VC series features a unique, non-jamming air valve that is simple, robust and reliable, and does not require a separate or mechanically operated pilot valve. The bolted design ensures leak-free pumping of liquids. The pneumatic diaphragm pumps are designed and manufactured to meet the needs of both OEMs and end users. The main characteristics of these pumps are competitive prices, few parts, simple design and maintenance, and high quality. Stainless steel pumps are FDA approved. Aluminium pumps with PTFE diaphragms are explosion-proof and ATEX certified.
Pneumatic diaphragm pumps of the hygienic series are made of polished stainless steel AISI 316L. The pumps are hermetically sealed, self-priming, and are designed primarily for pumping of slightly aggressive media, food and cosmetic products. They are used in those industries where there are increased requirements to hygiene, for example dairy production.
The VPH series of peristaltic pumps with shoe technology is our updated peristaltic pump designed for high pressure applications up to 15 bar, with 14 sizes available in flow rates up to 150 m3/h. This is a heavy-duty industrial pump series designed for round-the-clock operation. We have combined the best available materials with clever design solutions to maximise uptime and minimise maintenance.
This pump summarises what we want to achieve: the best pumping solutions for our customers. Our design increases the simplicity and reliability of the pump.
Peristaltic pumps of the N series (roller design) are self-priming peristaltic pumps with a seal-free design. The liquids are transported inside the hose and do not come into contact with any metal parts of the pump.
The pumps are characterised by extremely smooth pumping of the product, thus preventing the formation of emulsions or turbulence. All pumps can be supplied in monoblock versions connected to gearboxes, regulators, electric, diesel, pneumatic or hydraulic motors.
Rotary Lobe Pumps are reliable and efficient solutions for pumping liquids in a wide range of industries that require reliable and wear-resistant technology.
Rotary Lobe Pumps are reliable thanks to its hygiene design, capable of pumping without damaging liquid’s structure, and depending on liquid’s viscosity, Rotary Lobe Pumps have the ability of generating pressure up to 12 Bar.
Waukesha lobe pumps are represented by two main series: Universal I and Universal II. They differ in operating pressure and some design features. The former operates at a pressure of 13.8 bar, and the latter at 34.5 bar. The Universal II models are equipped with a three-pin stationary seal. The pumps used in the food and pharmaceutical industries meet all hygiene and safety standards. For pharmaceutical equipment, a smooth internal surface is mandatory. For both series of pumps, all parts and structures can be rinsed.
When it comes to new developments, the range of products on the market such as hygienic pumps, you will not find a better supplier than APV SPX FLOW. Years of intensive development and product improvement have made it possible to offer a complete range of hygienic pumps to meet any process requirements in various fields such as dairy technology, brewing and beverage production, pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
APV pumps reduce production costs, create a quieter workplace, increase the reliability of the production process and ensure a higher quality of the final product. The range includes positive displacement pumps, high-performance centrifugal pumps and self-priming pumps.
ASCO PUMPS offers industrial pumps for the food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, petrochemical and electroplating industries. All products are manufactured using advanced technologies by cold pressing. This production method allows the pumps to operate in difficult conditions, with an extended and guaranteed service life. The main distinguishing feature of the products is that thicker sheets of 4 mm thick AISI 304/316 stainless steel are used in the production process. This guarantees a long service life of the pumping units. Another important factor is that the corrosion resistance of parts made of stainless steel obtained by cold pressing from rolled products has been significantly increased.
VALISI internal gear pumps of the VD series are positive displacement pumps with a robust and simple design (only two moving parts). This type of design allows for efficient pumping of both liquid and clean media, as well as highly viscous abrasive media with inclusions (e.g. asphalt, chocolate, honey, etc.). The pumps can pump liquids with a viscosity of 100 ~ 1.000.000 cst. The pumps provide a uniform flow and high pressure. The following gear pump designs are available: without axial support, with axial support, in-line design, monoblock design, and high-speed design.
Valves are the most important components of every plant. APV offers a wide range of sanitary valves, including butterfly, single-seat and double-seat valves. Additional special valves are also available, such as control, check, constant pressure and integrated safety valves. APV valves are designed to meet the ever-increasing demands for: free product flow, flow control, safe separation of liquids, and perfect cleaning.
In the cosmetics and personal care industry, pumps play a key role in the precise dosing, feeding, and pumping of a variety of mixtures, creams, lotions, and other liquid products. Here are some types of pumps that are commonly used in this industry:
In addition, the materials used to make these pumps must meet hygiene and safety requirements - they must be compatible with the product and not alter its properties. This is especially important for the production of personal care products, where compliance with sanitary standards is a priority.
Industrial pumps for the cosmetics and personal care industry have a number of advantages and features that make them ideal for use in an industry where precision, hygiene and quality control are critical. Here are the key features, benefits, and advantages of these pumps:
Precision and dosing control
- Pumps allow for accurate measurement of liquid components, which ensures reproducibility of recipes and stability of the final product.
- Automatic speed and volume control systems minimize errors in production processes.
Hygienic and clean
- Many models, such as peristaltic and diaphragm pumps, ensure that the fluid only comes into contact with hygienic materials (e.g. stainless steel, PTFE), minimizing the risk of product contamination.
- Some pumps are designed to be easily cleaned and sterilized (CIP/SIP - Cleaning and Sterilization Systems).
Reduced pulsation and uniformity of flow
- Diaphragm and screw pumps provide a continuous and uniform flow of liquid, which is essential for achieving a homogeneous texture in creams, lotions and gels.
- Minimal pulsations help to avoid mechanical stress on delicate product components.
Compatible with aggressive media
- Pumps designed for use in the cosmetics and hygiene industry typically use materials that are resistant to corrosion and chemicals (e.g., stainless steel or special polymers).
- This allows for safe handling of different types of components without affecting their quality and safety.
Energy efficiency and reliability
- The latest design solutions are based on energy-efficient technology, which reduces energy costs.
- The robust design of the pumps ensures uninterrupted production and reduces the need for frequent maintenance.
Flexibility of application
- The availability of different types of pumps (peristaltic, diaphragm, screw) allows you to choose the best option according to the specifics of your production.
In summary, industrial pumps for the production of beauty and personal care products are indispensable components due to their precision, high level of hygiene, ability to handle various liquids, and ensuring a stable production process.
