Lotion Pumps: Essential for Lotion Production

Lotion pumps are crucial in the world of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and personal care. From medications to moisturizers, lotions play vital roles in our daily lives. Let's explore how Viking Pump’s stainless steel products facilitate the production of lotions and the innovative technology behind them.

The Importance of Lotions

Lotions are more than just a cosmetic product; they serve multiple purposes. Most lotions are designed for softening or moisturizing the skin. Some are formulated to deliver medication through unbroken skin. The majority of lotions are emulsions, which means they consist of oil suspended in water and often have shear-thinning properties. This unique formulation makes them effective and desirable in various applications.

Where Viking Pumps Fit In

Viking Pumps are integral to the lotion production process. They can be found at various stages, including:

• Tanker truck unloading
• Product transfer
• Ingredient dosing
• Finished product transfer

Each of these stages requires reliable and efficient pumping solutions to ensure the quality and consistency of the final product.

The 4127C Series™

One of the standout products in Viking Pump's lineup is the 4127C Series™. This pump is constructed from 316 stainless steel and offers several features that make it ideal for lotion processing:

• Cartridge lip seal options
• Low shear capabilities
• Capacities up to 320 gallons per minute

This series also features the ProPort™ casing.

The ProPort™ casing utilizes special mounting pads on each port designed to fit a number of different port types and sizes - creating flexibility for connecting pumps to piping.
