Pump Applicators

Also known as pump placers, these closing machines place a dispensing pump or spout onto the mouth of a rigid container, such as in window cleaner bottles. Pump sorters are also included here.

Category Explained

Pump applicators, often referred to as pump placers, are specialized machinery designed for attaching dispensing pumps or spouts to the openings of rigid containers. This equipment is crucial in the packaging process of various liquid products, including household cleaners, personal care items, and certain food and beverage products. The machinery ensures that pumps or spouts are securely fastened to containers for efficient, mess-free dispensing. Additionally, pump sorters, which organize and orient pumps or spouts for application, fall under this category, streamlining the packaging process by preparing these components for attachment to their respective containers.

Typical products and applications include:

  • Window and surface cleaners: Equipped with trigger spray pumps applied to PET or HDPE bottles
  • Shampoos, conditioners, and lotions: Closed with press-top or pump dispensers in personal care packaging
  • Hand sanitizers and liquid soaps: Fitted with pump closures for convenient, hygienic dispensing
  • Cooking oils or syrups: Sealed with spouted pumps for portion-controlled use
  • Automotive fluids or industrial cleaners: Packaged in containers with heavy-duty pump mechanisms

Additional Considerations:

  • Ensures secure, functional closure: Proper pump application prevents leaks and supports smooth dispensing
  • Works with a variety of pump styles: Compatible with trigger sprayers, push-down pumps, and flip-top spouts
  • Includes sorting and orientation systems: Pump sorters help automate the alignment of closures before placement
  • Supports high-speed production lines: Available in semi-automatic or fully automatic systems for scalable output
  • Adjustable for different container sizes and neck finishes: Accommodates a wide range of bottle types and closure specifications
