Syrup Pump Reuse Guide


 

I. Three Situations Where Reuse is Possible

■ Rotating the Same Type of Syrup

▸ Cola Syrup → Cherry Syrup (Dark Flavor Conversion)
▸ Plain Syrup → Vanilla Syrup (Neutral Flavor Transition)
▸ Fruit Flavor → Milk Base (Residual Fruit Acids Caking)

■ Pump Body in Perfect Condition

Sealing Ring with Good Elasticity (Quick Rebound When Squeezed)
No Crystallization or Blockage at the Dispenser (Check Under Light)
Smooth Pressing Without No Noise

■ Timely Deep Cleaning

After Disassembly and Washing, Allow to Air Completely to Remove Moisture
Soaking in Food-Grade Lubricant (Pharmacy Glycerin is Suitable)


 

II. Red Lights That Absolutely Prohibit Reuse

■ Pump Body Cracked/Deformed

Whitening of Plastic = Material Aging (Like the Brittleness of an Old Mineral Water Bottle)
Metal Joints Rusted Through (Even a Tiny Piece of Rust is Unacceptable)

■ Odors Seeping into the Material

Mint-Flavored Pump Filled with Caramel → A Cooling Feel That Can Never Be Washed Achieving an Industrial Chocolate Pump Filled with Juice → An Oily Smell That Is Difficult to Remove

■ Special Syrup Residue

Mango Sago Syrup Containing Fruit Particles (Fibers Jamming the Valve)
Herbal Syrup (Medicinal Components Corroding the Sealing Ring)


 

III. Three-Step Reuse Operation

■ Disassembly and Thorough Cleaning

Hot Lemon Water (60℃) Circulation Rinse for 10 Minutes
Scrape Spring Groove with a Soft-bristled Toothbrush (Heavy Sugar Stains Area)

■ Sealing Modification

Soak the Old Sealing Ring in Edible Oil Overnight to Restore Elasticity
Add a Food-Grade Silicone Gasket to the Outlet (Prevents Odor Transfer)

■ Test Run

Pump Half a Cup of Water First → Only Start Production If No Odor Observe if the Syrup Line is Straight (Forked = Not Cleaned)


 

IV. Cost-Saving Reuse Techniques

■ Remodeling

Convert a Milk Tea Pump into a Watering Liquid Pump (Remove the Spring to Reduce Pressure)
Disassemble a Scrap Industrial Pump and Remove the Stainless Steel Pipe → Use as a Beverage Rack Support

■ Parts Recycling Method

Keep the Spring/Steel Ball and Other Metal Parts (Soak in White Vinegar to Remove Rust and Reuse)
Drill Holes in the Plastic Pump Housing → Use as a Seedling Pot (For Bottom Drainage)
