Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Industry

The cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry produces a wide range of different fluids ranging from fragrances with low viscosity to viscous Vaseline, Creams, Gels and Lotions.

Due to the use of cosmetic and pharmaceutical products being for sensitive areas and on humans, hygienic pumps with third party accreditation typically to 3A or FDA is demanded. 3A and FDA approved pumps have been designed to ensure dead zones do not exist where bacteria can accumulate, are polished to a specific standard, manufactured from hygienic materials and can be Cleaned in Place (CIP) or Sterilisation in Place (SIP)

Applications within these industries are transfer, tank emptying, dosing / batching, and mixing.

We can offer pumps with the following features to assist you in handling personal care and cosmetic products:

• CIP/SIP cleanability ensuring the highest cleanliness standards

• Low shear to ensure the liquid being pumped remains unchanged without foaming

• Pumps to extract 99.98% of liquids to eliminate wastage

• Polished to 0.8um ensuring high hygiene can be achieved

• ATEX rated hygienic pumps – for use in zone 0 with perfumes, alcohols, varnishes

• Clean air pumps – our pumps do not require lubricated air meaning there is less risk with particles introduced from an exhaust valve which may introduce contaminants in the working area.

• Batching units designed for semi-automated repeated delivery of the same quantity of liquid without clunky scales or pouring jugs

• Heating jackets to maintain liquid viscosity.

• Easy dismantling for cleaning. Some pumps can be swivelled and drained of fluids completely.

• Pump units which mix as well as pump

• Dosing units for precise delivery of ingredients
