How To Pump Oils Creams And Gels In The Cosmetics Industry

Leading contract cosmetics manufacturer based in the UK working with many of the leading Global health and beauty brands, needed a reliable and safe method for pumping the many and diverse liquids, oils, creams and gels used in the beauty industry.

Their existing mono electric pumps on site were frequently breaking down. This along with the spares being on a long lead time meant that their existing pumps could sit in the workshops for a considerable amount of time.
