In the field of cosmetics packaging, there are significant differences between on-off pump and lotion pump in many aspects. The following is a detailed explanation of the specific differences between the two in the field of cosmetic packaging:
1、 Definition and Function
Switching pump:
Definition: A switch pump is a type of pump device that can control the flow of liquid through switch operation.
Function: Mainly used to control the on-demand flow of cosmetics, users can start or stop the flow of liquid through switches.
Lotion pump:
Definition: lotion pump is a special tool for extracting lotion content in cosmetics packaging, which is designed based on the principle of atmospheric balance.
Function: It is not only used to control the outflow of liquid, but also to ensure that the liquid maintains a certain pressure during outflow, thereby avoiding liquid dripping or overflowing. In addition, lotion pumps usually have finer flow control and can distribute cosmetics more accurately.
2、 Structure and Design
Switching pump:
Structure: usually includes pump body, switch mechanism (such as buttons or knobs), driving mechanism (such as motors or pneumatic devices, but in cosmetic packaging, it is mostly manually operated), and other parts.
Design: The design is relatively simple, focusing mainly on the reliability and usability of the switch.
Lotion pump:
Structure: It usually consists of a pressing head, an upper pump column, a locking cover, a gasket, a bottle cap, a pump core, a lower pump column, a spring, a pump body, a glass ball, and a suction tube.
Design: The design is more complex and requires ensuring tight fit and sealing between various components to prevent liquid leakage. At the same time, the lotion pump also needs to have enough pressure to overcome the resistance of liquid, so as to ensure the smooth flow of liquid.
3、 Usage and Convenience
Switching pump:
Usage: Users can start or stop the flow of liquid by operating the switch mechanism (such as pressing a button or rotating a knob).
Convenience: Relatively simple to use, but may require users to manually control the flow of liquid, which is not suitable for situations that require precise measurement.
Lotion pump:
Usage: The user presses the press head to make the lotion pump work, so as to extract and release the liquid.
Convenience: More convenient to use, users can dispense cosmetics on demand through simple pressing operations, without the need to manually control the amount of liquid flowing out. In addition, lotion pumps usually have better sealing and leak proof performance to ensure that cosmetics will not leak during long-term storage.
4、 Application scenarios and applicability
Switching pump:
Application scenario: Suitable for packaging cosmetics that require control of liquid outflow, such as shampoo, shower gel, and other liquid cosmetics.
Applicability: Although it can control the outflow of liquid, it may not be suitable for occasions requiring accurate measurement, such as essence liquid, face cream, etc.
Lotion pump:
Application scenario: It is widely applicable to the packaging of various lotion cosmetics, such as face cream, essence, sunscreen, etc.
Applicability: It is very suitable for situations that require precise measurement, ensuring that the amount of cosmetics used by users remains consistent each time, thereby improving the product's effectiveness and user experience.
In conclusion, there are significant differences between on-off pump and lotion pump in the cosmetics packaging field. When choosing cosmetic packaging, users should choose the appropriate pump device based on their own needs and product characteristics.
