How to Use

For Soap or Wax

1. Place the dispenser securely on its stand.
2. Ensure the outlet valve is fully closed.
3. Pour the melted soap base or wax into the reservoir.
4. Position the mold or container underneath the nozzle.
5. Press the lever gently to open the outlet and begin dispensing.
6. Release the lever to stop the flow.
7. Repeat until all molds or containers are filled.

Work carefully with hot materials and ensure the dispenser is suitable for the working temperature of your formulation.

For Cosmetic Formulations

The dispenser may be used for liquid or semi-liquid cosmetic products such as lotions, gels, shampoos, conditioners, and similar preparations where the product is fluid enough to pass through the outlet.

Fill the reservoir, position the receiving container below the nozzle, and use the lever to control the flow.

Very thick creams, pastes, or products containing large particles may not dispense efficiently through a narrow outlet.

For More Consistent Filling

Place all containers or molds on a stable, level surface before starting.

Use a consistent lever action and filling time for each container to help improve uniformity.

For products that require exact fill weights, check finished units on a digital scale rather than relying only on visual volume.

Cleaning Instructions

1. Empty any remaining product immediately after use.
2. Rinse or wipe the dispenser before residue hardens.
3. Wash thoroughly with warm water and a suitable detergent.
4. Pay particular attention to the nozzle, valve, spring, and internal mechanism.
5. Rinse thoroughly and allow all parts to dry completely before storage.
6. Sanitise where required for cosmetic or food production.

For wax or soap base, clean while the remaining material is still soft enough to remove safely.

Care Instructions

• Do not allow product to harden inside the dispensing outlet.
• Keep the spring and lever mechanism clean.
• Avoid abrasive tools that may damage the stainless steel surface.
• Check the valve regularly to ensure it opens and closes correctly.
• Store clean and completely dry.
• Handle hot formulations with appropriate heat protection.
