A Lotion Pump Head usually consists of the following six components:
Actuator
The head of the lotion pump is usually made of polypropylene. As a pump head, when pressed from above, it performs the main task of discharging material from the lotion pump reservoir.
closure
The device performs the most important task, fixing the entire material on the neck of the lotion pump. Ensuring the safety of the entire assembly is of utmost importance.
Outer gasket
It helps prevent leakage of material from the bottling area. Usually made of low-density polyethylene or rubber, usually friction fit in the closure.
housing
The housing unit assembles all the parts of the lotion pump in one place. In addition to this, it is also used as a transfer container to send material from the dip tube to the actuator.
Internal housing components
The internal housing components include balls, springs, pistons and valve stems, and internal housing compartments. Specifications may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
Dip tube
It is made of polypropylene and is a long tube that extends from the head of the lotion pump to the bottom.
