Pump Head Feeding & Placement

Automatic Pump Head Feeding & Placing Machine For Lotion And Shampoo Bottles

Q: Does this machine tighten the pump head?

No. This machine handles sorting, feeding and placement only. A separate downstream capping or tightening station is required when the pump head must be screwed tight.

Q: Can it connect with a filling machine?

Yes. It can be installed after filling and before a separate tightening or labeling process.

Q: What should be provided before final configuration?

Provide bottle and pump head samples or drawings, pump tube length, bottle-neck dimensions and target production speed.

Sorts pump heads with a vibratory bowl, feeds each head to the pickup position and places it into the bottle opening. This machine does not tighten the pump head.

Machine Overview

What Is This Machine Used For?

Automatic pump head feeding and placing machine

Closure Handling

Automatic pump head sorting, feeding and placement

The vibratory bowl orients lotion and shampoo pump heads. The feeding track delivers each pump head to the pickup position, and the placement mechanism inserts it into the bottle opening. If the closure must be screwed tight, add a separate downstream capping machine.

Pump Head Compatibility

Pump Head And Bottle Examples

This module sorts long-dip-tube pump heads, feeds them along the track and places them into the bottle mouth before a separate tightening station.

Shampoo, lotion, hand soap and cosmetic bottles with separate long dip tube pump heads for automatic feeding and placement — Final vibratory-bowl track and placing tooling must be confirmed from the actual pump head, dip tube, bottle neck and cap orientation. Pump tightening is not included.

Working Process

How The Pump Head Feeding & Placing Machine Works

Step 01Bottles enter

Step 02Pump heads are sorted

Step 03Pump heads enter the track

Step 04One pump head is picked up

Step 05Pump tube is aligned

Step 06Pump head is placed

Step 07Bottle exits

Step 08Separate tightening if needed

The machine completes pump-head sorting, feeding and placement only. Any required thread tightening is performed by separate downstream equipment.

Process Value

Why Use Automatic Pump Head Feeding And Placement?

Main Advantages

Reduces manual pump-head sorting
Feeds closures in a controlled orientation
Places long pump tubes into bottle openings
Supports stable connection with automatic lines

Production Benefits

Separates the placement process from tightening
Allows tooling to match the actual pump sample
Improves line consistency before downstream capping
Can connect with filling, tightening and labeling equipment

Method Comparison

Pump Head Placement Compared With Capping Methods

Equipment	Primary Function	Selection Note
Pump Head Feeding & Placing Machine	Sorts, feeds and places pump heads	Does not tighten the closure
Four-wheel Capping Machine	Side-wheel tightening	For compatible threaded caps after testing
Tracking Capping Machine	Pick-and-place tightening at higher speed	Configured by closure and torque requirement
Trigger Sprayer Capping Machine	Sprayer handling and tightening	Uses dedicated tooling for long trigger heads
Press Capping Machine	Press-fit closure application	For closures that are pressed rather than threaded

After the initial engineering review

What You Receive Before Final Configuration

Start with bottle and pump-head photos or drawings, dimensions, pump-tube length and target output. Physical samples are requested later when tooling or factory testing requires them.

Parameter Context

How To Read The Published Pump Head Feeding & Placing Parameters

The values below are configuration references from the supplied parameter record. Final performance depends on the actual bottle, pump head, tube and agreed test conditions.

Pump-head diameter

The published 22–50 mm range is a selection reference. The bowl, track and gripper are matched to the actual closure.

Placement station

One placement station is listed for this configuration. It is not a capping head and does not apply tightening torque.

Reference speed

The published 23–25 bottles/min is a reference. Final output is confirmed using the actual bottle and pump head.

Utilities

The listed 380V, 1 kW and 0.6–0.8 MPa requirements must be checked against the factory supply.

Acceptance result

Placement consistency, tube entry and bottle handling should be recorded under agreed FAT conditions.

FAQ

Common Questions Before Buying

What does this pump head machine do?

It sorts pump heads in a vibratory bowl, feeds them to the pickup position and places each pump head into the bottle opening.

Does this machine tighten the pump head?

No. It completes sorting, feeding and placement only. Add a separate downstream capping or tightening station when the pump head must be screwed tight.

Can it handle different pump heads?

The feeding track, gripper and placement tooling can be configured after the pump head, tube and bottle samples are checked.

Can it connect with a filling machine?

Yes. It can work after filling and before separate tightening or labeling equipment.

What should be provided before final configuration?

Provide bottle and pump-head samples or drawings, pump-tube length, bottle-neck dimensions and target production speed.

Buyer Selection Answer

Pump Head Feeding & Placing Machine Selection Answers

Best Used For

Lotion, shampoo, liquid-soap and personal-care bottles that need automatic pump-head sorting and placement.

When To Choose It

Choose it when operators should not manually orient pump heads or insert long pump tubes into bottle openings.

Not Recommended For

Do not select it as the only machine when the closure must also be screwed tight or controlled by torque.

Before Quotation

Confirm pump-head geometry, tube length, bottle neck, target output and whether a separate tightening station is required.
