Many innovative beauty brands are embracing the rising interest from consumers for products that are considered ethical, good for the environment and planet-conscious. In this blog, we’ll explore how beauty brands could encourage more sustainable packaging options and how offering refillable products may be the best way to make this possible.

The Quantex Bag-In-Box (BiB) range of pumps is one of our most popular product options and is ideally suited for the Food and Beverage industry, especially when it comes to needing a pump that can suck highly viscous solutions such as melted chocolate, concentrated syrups, spreads, condiments and dairy products like milk, cream and yoghurt. By sealing the product within the pack and expelling it with the aid of a Quantex Bag-In-Box pump, the product remains contained, minimising any cross-contamination, wasted product, or mess, and reducing maintenance between pack changeovers.

As technology continues to advance, we can expect to see even more innovative applications of robotics and automated dispensing within the food and beverage industry. From fully automated kitchens to personalised dining experiences and consumer-controlled dosing, the possibilities are endless. By embracing automation and leveraging advanced technologies like Quantex pumps, businesses can stay ahead of the curve and deliver exceptional food, drinks and service.

We always like to start the new year by taking a moment to reflect on our last 12 months, and the learnings and knowledge we’d like to take with us into 2025. We call this the ‘Quantex Company Round-up’. Following on from the success of 2023, our focus in 2024 was to refine and further improve our services, products and delivery to heighten our positioning as game-changers in the pump technology market.

The role of liquid dosing in food and drink is vital for various reasons, such as enhancing the aesthetics, altering flavouring, conforming to health and safety, and creating product consistency. In this blog, we’ll explore how companies could be utilising liquid dosing and adding flavour and colourants to food and drink produce with the aid of a game-changing Quantex pump.

Liquid dosing plays a vital role in countless industries, from ensuring precise quantities in food and drink production, to guaranteeing consistent quality in polymer product manufacture. But beyond the intricate mechanics and technical specifications, there's an often-overlooked factor that can significantly impact the entire process: adding colour. In this blog, we’ll explore how you can achieve mess-free, easy and rapid colour changeovers that will save downtime and minimise the risk of spills with the help of Quantex disposable/single-pack-use pumps.

In this blog, we’ll explore how Quantex’s game-changing pump technology can provide a radical new hygienic, easy-to-use, cost-saving and sustainable pumping solution that could impact the beauty industry in a number of ways.

As we near the end of 2023, it’s a time to reflect on how the year has been for all of us at Quantex and the changes and growth that have taken place. Much like 2022, it’s been another fruitful year with multiple opportunities for success and development.

We’re delighted to celebrate that our sister brand Quattroflow, a PSG brand has successfully launched the first of a brand new line of ‘QB’ pumps based on our single-use rotary pump technology.

The use of refillable flavoured hot and cold drinks and the bulk-refill of liquid grocery products is on the rise with 60% of people in the UK carrying refillable drinks bottles compared to that of only 20% in 2012. In this piece, we’ll explore some key business benefits of refillable drinks and bulk-refill and how technology can be used to propel the movement even further.

At Quantex, we understand that dispensing highly-concentrated solutions can be very challenging. Higher concentrations often mean higher viscosity fluids, and most pump technologies struggle to transfer thicker liquids. However, product manufacturers are keen to reduce their carbon footprint and one way of doing this is to ship less water, which is not only good for the environment, but it also reduces costs in a number of ways.

We’re proud to announce that we’ve recently won the ‘Outstanding Achievement Award’ from the prestigious Food & Drink Matters publication. Following an exceptional year, Food & Drink Matters quoted that “Quantex pioneering technology is changing the game across multiple sectors”.

Quantex is excited to announce the official launch of its brand-new pump driver device, the Q-Drive-Alpha. Until now, Quantex has offered driver device equipment for evaluation purposes only, and these kits require separate tablet software to control, but the Q-Drive Alpha is an easy-to-use, CE marked, plug-and-play system, providing a stand-alone dispenser that can be used both for pump evaluation as well as for commercial use in production or laboratories.

Product viscosity is a very important consideration for any manufacturer or flow-control engineer who manages the dispense of thick, highly viscous liquids, but especially for those working with chocolate or confectionery-related products due to the unique and variable viscosity of chocolate.

Quantex is proud to announce that it is working in partnership with PSG Biotech’s well-established pump brand, Quattroflow, to develop its growth within the biopharmaceutical industry. At the same time, Quantex also declares that it is not seeking any new pump solutions for medical market applications.

Viscosity is defined as the “interaction between the different molecules in a fluid – this can be also understood as friction between the molecules in the fluid” and can be measured with various types of viscometers and rheometers using the measurement of centipoise (cP). When creating produce for consumption, manufacturers need to understand the effect created by food and beverage viscosity, which can be affected by the conditions within which it's used, and are an important consideration when determining manufacturing methods.

As the year is coming to its close, we’ve been reflecting on what has been an exceptional year of change at Quantex. Change that has kept us busy, laying foundations for rapid growth in 2023 and beyond. With everything that’s evolved, we’ve learnt so much, and we wanted to share with you, our Quantex company 2022 round-up.

Following our acquisition by PSG®, an operating company of Dover Corporation, our website has undergone some minor aesthetic changes to reflect our new ownership, alongside our Quantex pumps receiving a name-change. Whilst the game-changing pumps themselves remain the same high-quality that you’re used to, we listened to our customer’s feedback and created a new naming convention for our product portfolio.

Due to new product expansion and Quantex growth, we have taken the important step to improve and evolve our manufacturing facilities by moving our Head Office to Duisburg, Germany.

At Quantex, we’re proud that our revolutionary pump technology is positively altering the liquid manufacturing process for the food and drink industry.
