Zenith^® Precision Metering Pumps Precise Flow Control for Personal Care Products

Download application story

Personal care products are an integral part of everyone’s life. Toothpaste, shampoo, facial tissue, laundry detergent, toilet paper, soap, deodorant, diapers, and cotton swabs are just a few of the products which we use everyday. The common element among all of these items is the emphasis that is placed on superior product quality. The manufacturer’s top priorities are exceptional product performance and premier customer satisfaction.

Industry Challenge

In the personal care industry, the goal of manufacturers is to make the best possible product at the lowest possible cost. This means accurately controlling expensive ingredients being metered into products. Is the correct amount of additive being delivered to the process with absolute certainty? Is over-dosing resulting in extra costs, or is under-dosing resulting in a poor quality product? Are the pumps currently in use delivering additives to the process in an irregular, pulsating manner? Has it become necessary to place an expensive flow meter after the pump to confirm exact fluid delivery?

The Zenith Solution

Zenith pumps deliver precise, repeatable, and virtually pulseless flow. Internal design features produce a flow that is smooth and consistent. Precision ground and lapped components produce high efficiency and metering accuracy. The pumps are constructed of stainless steel for excellent corrosion resistance, and deliver an exact amount of fluid flow, eliminating the need for expensive flow meters or other flow control devices.
