Reliable, Sanitary Pumps for Soaps, Cosmetics, Lotions and Personal & Home Care Products

Personal care products such as lotions and soaps present unique flow control challenges, so reliable pumps are essential. These products come in a wide range of viscosities, so your pump must be matched to your product and application. Pumps for personal care product manufacturing must also support hygienic operations and protect product integrity with low shear operation.

PSG Hygienic offers a range of hygienic pumps to meet any personal care application requirements, from ingredient transfer and blending to dosing and packaging. Our sanitary pump solutions are designed for lotions, creams, soaps, shampoos, toothpaste, hair gels and dyes and other cosmetic formulations. We offer low-shear, low-agitation pumps to control for foaming and preserve the texture and efficacy of end products.

Our expert team can help you find the right pump technology for your product, process and cleaning requirements.

Selecting the Right Pump for Cosmetics & Personal Care Manufacturing

The right pump for personal care product transfer should match your application’s viscosity requirements to protect the integrity of the end product.

Keep the following considerations in mind when choosing a pump for personal care product manufacturing:

  • Viscosity is a key factor in pump selection. Low-viscosity products like serums and dyes require pumps that keep flow precise and consistent, while thick creams and pastes require pumps that can handle high-viscosity fluids. Ensure your pump can handle the full formulation range.
  • Many personal care and cosmetic applications will require precise dosing and repeatable fill performance. Ensure your pump has the fluid control capabilities your product requires, and that it can deliver accurate, consistent flow, especially for filling lines and packaging systems.
  • Many cosmetic and cream products are sensitive to aeration, texture change or damage during transfer. In particular, soaps and foaming products present unique flow control challenges. Find a pump with gentle, low-shear operation.
  • Personal care products are sensitive to contamination, so pumps should be constructed with hygienic design features such as smooth surfaces and crevice-free construction. They must also support rigorous cleaning processes, so full drainability and easy disassembly/reassembly are key for easy cleaning.
  • Material compatibility is essential for personal care transfer pumps. Many formulas are highly reactive, so ensure that all wetted parts of your pump are compatible with your ingredients and any cleaning chemicals.
  • In manufacturing processes, uptime is key. Look for pumps with simple maintenance requirements, easy cleaning processes and robust construction to ensure equipment longevity and minimize downtime.
  • Now more than ever, energy use and lifecycle costs are also a factor in pump selection. Look for a pump that delivers energy efficiency and a supplier with comprehensive support services, and take purchase price and service life into account to understand the pump’s total cost of ownership.
