What parts of a lotion pump usually consist of

A lotion pump is an industrial application device that is used in cosmetic products. In general, a lotion pump usually consists of these parts:

actuator: An airless pump has an actuator mounted inside the tank. The actuator (the part that actually pumps the product from the container into the receiver) can be made from a variety of materials - and are often come with either a down-lock or up-lock feature to prevent accidental release. The spring-loaded part of a lotion bottle that pushes or pulls the skin is generally made from one of several materials. There are some spring-loaded devices that require mechanical removal of a cap from the receiving reservoir, after insertion into the bottle. Other devices use a small amount of hydraulic pressure to induce activation of the actuator. Depending on the properties of your product (e.g., oil, wax, etc.)

Mist Attachments: Often, you'll find that the caps of many industrial devices are very similar in appearance to that of a hand-held massager. To get price points for the various attachments you may find necessary, remember that some attachments are only compatible with particular pump models. For example, the push pull cap and other types of hose adaptors will not work with any pump with a disk-type spindle. On the other hand, there are adapters for nearly every kind of accessory you'll find. You can also look into different spray gun adaptors to get price points for accessories such as applicators, nozzles, tip extensions, air nozzles, and other similar items.

Look for Bottleless Push Pump Dispensers: In the beauty world, there's a new trend arising: bottleless pump dispensers. As more health conscious people shun traditional bottle solutions, these innovative devices are becoming more popular with salon goers everywhere. A key advantage to these dispensers is that they don't put any suds back into the shampoo bottles. Because you can attach a variety of attachments to get the most from your device, this is an ideal option for high volume bottleless push button devices.

Dip Tube Style: The most familiar kind of pump dispenser, which you see in shampoo bottles and other consumer products is generally referred to by two names: the metal spring and the double-ended dip tube. Basically, both versions of these dispensers operate on the same concept: the user inserts a sterilized needle (a "dip") into a hole, and a metal spring traps the "pump" or product inside. The mechanism uses two metal coils to create a smooth, even, and reliable flow that gives the user a consistent and reliable result. Both types of devices have the advantage over bottle style pumps in that they use a metal spring that doesn't require oil to run smoothly.

Lotion Pump Caps: Just as important as the dispenser itself, the caps on any liquid soap dispenser are just as critical. Price, however, tends to be the last criteria considered by salon owners. A lot of money can be saved if you can get a cap that is both reliable and attractive. Plastic caps with jewel encrusted tops or those that match the color of your liquid soap are definitely the way to go. In addition, you can save money by avoiding filling caps up to the top because you'll avoid paying for the expensive habit of spilling cleaning chemicals all over your sink.
