30 ml pelican / dosage pump for 5 L containers

Description

The Ounce A Matic Pump Dispenser is a heavy-duty, reusable pelican-style dosage pump designed to fit standard 5 litre containers with a 38 mm neck. Each full stroke dispenses approximately one fluid ounce (30 ml), providing accurate, repeatable dosing of a wide range of liquids including hand soaps, hand sanitiser, barrier creams, detergents, cleaning chemicals, toilet additives, oils and other viscous fluids. Manufactured from robust plastic with a stainless-steel internal spring and valve, the pump incorporates a lock-down head to prevent leakage during storage or transport, making it ideal for infection control, housekeeping and general hygiene applications in healthcare and commercial environments.

Bnefits

Provides accurate, consistent 30 ml dosing with each full pump action for reliable dilution and product usage.
38 mm closure is compatible with most standard 5 litre jerrycans and bulk chemical containers used in healthcare and janitorial settings.
Helps reduce product wastage, overuse and spills by delivering a fixed, controlled dose.
Hand-operated pelican pump design is simple to use and requires no power or complex installation.
Lock-down pump head minimises risk of leaks and accidental dispensing during transport or when not in use.
Heavy-duty, reusable construction suitable for high-footfall and high-usage areas such as clinics, wards, washrooms and industrial sites.
Suitable for a wide range of liquids, including soaps, sanitisers, detergents and many cleaning chemicals.
Supports infection control and hygiene protocols by offering convenient, contact-controlled dispensing from bulk containers.

Indications

Dosing hand soaps, hand sanitisers and skin cleansers from 5 litre bulk containers in healthcare, food service and washroom environments.
Dispensing barrier creams, moisturisers and emollients from large-volume containers in occupational health and clinical settings.
Accurate dilution of detergents, surface cleaners, toilet additives and other cleaning chemicals in housekeeping and janitorial operations.
Any setting requiring controlled 30 ml dosing from 5 litre containers, such as hospitals, clinics, care homes, educational facilities, offices, gyms and industrial sites.

Composition

Pump body and dip-tube: high-density plastic (commonly HDPE or similar chemically resistant plastic).
Internal spring: stainless steel.
Internal valve and seals: chemically resistant plastics/elastomers suitable for soaps and many cleaning chemicals.
Closure: 38 mm screw-on plastic collar compatible with standard 5 litre container necks (38/415 style).

Formulation

Non-sterile, reusable, mechanical pump dispenser.
Dispense volume: approximately 30 ml (1 US fluid ounce) per full pump stroke.
Closure size: 38 mm screw thread for standard 5 litre containers.
Lock-down feature on pump head to secure in a closed position for storage and transport.
Designed for manual, hand-operated use with low to medium viscosity liquids (soaps, gels, detergents, sanitiser, lotions, etc.).

Packaging

Supplied individually as a single Ounce A Matic Pump Dispenser per pack.
Typically shipped in a protective plastic bag or small carton, labelled with product description and SKU (e.g. 019054 at Medisave; CE130-W or similar at other distributors).
Intended to be fitted by the end-user directly onto a 5 litre container with a 38 mm neck.

Usage

Check that the 5 litre container neck is 38 mm and compatible with the Ounce A Matic pump.
Remove the original cap from the container and ensure the neck is clean and free from damage.
Insert the dip tube of the pump into the container, then screw the pump closure firmly onto the 38 mm neck until secure and leak-tight.
To use for the first time, release the lock-down mechanism (usually by twisting the pump head) and prime the pump by pressing repeatedly until liquid is drawn up and dispensed.
Dispense product by pressing the pump head fully down; each full stroke delivers approximately 30 ml.
For partial dosing or where a smaller volume is required, depress the pump part way or consult your supplier regarding the use of restrictor clips if available.
After use, if the container is to be transported or stored, press the pump down and engage the lock-down position to minimise leakage.
Periodically wipe the pump head and nozzle with a suitable disinfectant wipe to maintain hygiene and remove dried product.
Do not use with strong acid-based or highly corrosive chemicals that may attack the stainless-steel spring or plastic components; consult chemical safety data sheets and supplier guidance before use.
If the pump becomes stiff, damaged or fails to dispense accurately, replace it with a new Ounce A Matic pump.

Contraindications

Do not use with incompatible or highly corrosive chemicals, particularly strong acid-based products that can corrode the internal stainless-steel spring or damage plastic components.
Not suitable for highly viscous pastes or products that cannot flow through a standard pelican pump mechanism.
Do not use where a sterile, single-use dispensing system is required.
Do not use on containers with a neck size other than 38 mm unless a suitable adapter is provided.
Do not use if the pump or closure is cracked, significantly worn or cannot be tightened securely onto the container.

Adverse Effects

Improper fitting or damaged components may result in leakage or spillage of chemicals, which could cause skin or eye irritation depending on the product dispensed.
Use with incompatible or corrosive chemicals may lead to pump failure, leakage or breakage.
If not cleaned regularly, dried product around the nozzle can cause splashing or irregular dosing, potentially leading to overuse or underuse.
Failure to lock the pump during transport may increase the risk of accidental discharge and contamination of storage areas.

Storage Conditions

Store unused pumps in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
When attached to a container, store the container and pump upright on a stable surface to minimise leakage.
Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures that could warp plastic components or degrade the spring.
Keep out of reach of children and unauthorised users, especially when used with hazardous chemicals.

Duration

Not applicable; this is a reusable mechanical dispenser intended for ongoing daily use until it wears out, is damaged or is replaced for hygiene or operational reasons.
