In the cosmetics industry, hygienic fluid transfer is essential for maintaining product integrity and meeting stringent quality standards. Therefore, at Flux Pumps, we offer sanitary cosmetics pumps designed to safely handle cosmetic ingredients.
Our pumps - including the F 427, F 430 and VISCOPOWER - ensure precise, contamination‑free transfer of liquids such as soaps, hair care products, creams, oils and fragrances, ensuring these valuable ingredients are accurately dispensed.
Trusted by the world’s finest cosmetics brands, Flux Pumps carefully transfer sensitive gels and high‑viscosity products such as mascara and petroleum jelly while maintaining a consistent flow rate.
Valuable raw materials, extracts and concentrates are essential to producing cosmetics. Therefore, pumps must meet demanding hygiene requirements and be easy and safe to clean. The wide variety of skin, lip and eye care products - along with creams, gels and facemasks - also places importance on the flexibility of pumping solutions.
A FLUX sanitary cosmetics pump stands for hygienic design, precision and durability. Here’s why they’re the ideal choice for cosmetic manufacturers:
Flux sanitary cosmetics pumps support a wide range of production tasks in cosmetics production. They ensure hygienic, precise and contamination‑free transfer of valuable ingredients used in skincare, haircare, fragrance and personal‑care formulations.

Yes, certain drum pumps can transfer sensitive cosmetics without altering their properties, but not all models are suitable.
Positive displacement pumps such as the Flux progressive cavity Viscopower, or RFM air-operated diaphragm pumps, are ideal. These pumps apply minimal shear forces and can handle soft solids in suspension, preserving the consistency and quality of sensitive products such as creams, lotions and gels.
Additionally, Viscopower delivers consistent flow rates without pulsation, ideal for filling smaller containers. Flux Pumps are constructed from materials such as stainless steel and PTFE, ensuring compatibility with cosmetic formulations while preventing contamination.
Our Viscopower pump can handle mascara or other semi-abrasive products such as face clay, or products containing a limited quantity of larger particles. Particles up to 8 mm in diameter can pass through the pump without damage.
Note that Viscopower should ideally be fitted with a softer NBR or FKM stator when handling more abrasive media. These stators tend to wear more slowly than harder options, e.g. PTFE. Viscopower is not suitable for use with highly abrasive media e.g. materials containing large quantities of Titanium Dioxide particles.
The Flux Viscopower progressive cavity pump is the perfect sanitary drum pump for transferring shampoo raw materials from 200-litre plastic drums into mixing vessels. In small batch production, workers manually scoop these materials, a time-consuming process that causes significant spillage and waste. The Viscopower pump provides a lightweight, portable and easy-to-clean method of improving the transfer process, making it ideal for any producer of high-quality cosmetics.
Viscopower is capable of handling viscosities >100,000 mPas, depending on material rheology. Therefore, this sanitary drum pump ensures quick and efficient transfer of raw materials such as soap, shampoo and conditioner. Additionally, by replacing manual handling, the pump reduces waste, improves efficiency and protects employees, making it a valuable tool for cosmetic manufacturers.
Cosmetics manufacturers often need to dispense essential oils, perfume oils and fragrances from 200‑litre drums while maintaining strict hygiene and safety standards. The FLUX F 430 S FDA Ex sanitary cosmetics pump provides a reliable solution for these flammable, high‑value ingredients.
Constructed from highly polished 316 stainless steel, the F 430 S ensures hygienic handling and compatibility with cosmetic oils up to approx. 1000 mPas. Its two‑part design allows quick, tool‑free disassembly for fast cleaning between batches. A mechanical seal prevents liquid from entering the inner tube and bearings, reducing the wetted area and minimising cross‑contamination when switching between different products.
The pump can be powered by electric or compressed‑air motors, both Ex‑certified for Zoned ATEX areas. Lightweight and portable, the F 430 S can transfer liquids from various container sizes - from IBCs to small totes - making it ideal for production environments requiring flexibility and contamination‑free dispensing.
Producers of healing clays and thick cosmetic pastes often struggle with manual drum emptying, which is slow, labour‑intensive and prone to waste. The ViscoFlux Mobile S Drum Emptying System offers a fast, hygienic and fully mobile alternative for transferring high‑viscosity materials from 200‑litre drums into hoppers and packaging lines.
Designed for non‑flowable creams, healing clays and petroleum jelly, the system is FDA certified and ideal for cosmetic, food and pharmaceutical applications. It uses the VISCOPOWER pump with a follower plate and process seal to achieve highly efficient drum emptying, leaving less than 1% residue. The follower plate hermetically seals the drum, preventing air ingress and eliminating contamination risks.
The system is simple to operate and easy to clean, with options for manual on/off control or automated dispensing via the Fluxtronic batch controller. A spur‑gear motor allows precise speed adjustment for optimal filling. This makes ViscoFlux Mobile S a reliable, time‑saving solution for cosmetic manufacturers handling high‑viscosity products.
