Cosmetics and Personal Care
Cosmetic production means viscous product, frequent colour and fragrance changeovers and a plant that has to be visibly clean between batches. Components need to drain, dismantle and go back together the same way every time.
What Costs This Sector Money
- Viscous creams and gels that will not drain from a poorly pitched line
- Colour and fragrance carry-over between batches
- Emulsions damaged by shear at tight bends and restrictions
- Frequent stripping and rebuilding of the same joints
What Buyers Ask Us For
- Full bore valves and long radius bends to move viscous product gently
- Eccentric reducers and short outlet tees so the line empties
- Three-piece and union bodies that come apart for manual cleaning
- Seals that survive fragrance oils and solvents

Cosmetics and Personal Care FAQ
Questions from buyers in this sector.
Do you supply components for cosmetics plants directly
Yes. We are a direct manufacturer, so the valves, fittings, housings and tank accessories on this page are made in our own plant rather than bought in and relabelled.
Can you match the standard already installed in our plant
In most cases yes. We manufacture to AS1528, BS4825, DIN 11864, 3-A, SMS and RJT and also supply DIN 11851 and IDF union patterns. Send photographs with a rule in frame and the key dimensions and we will identify the pattern before quoting.
