Common Questions
The HF1 is excellent for low to medium viscosity liquids. This includes water, juices, hot sauces, essential oils, syrups, and thin lotions. It can also handle some light pastes, but for very thick products (like peanut butter), we recommend testing first. The hose-fed design works best with flowable liquids.
Cleaning is simple. You can flush the system by placing the intake hose in hot soapy water (or a solvent appropriate for your product) and pumping it through. For a deep clean, the machine disassembles quickly without special tools, allowing you to sanitize the piston and seals directly.
Yes. While the single stroke max is 8.5 oz, you can simply pump the handle multiple times for larger containers. For example, a 16 oz bottle would take two smooth strokes. The volume per stroke is adjustable down to 1 oz for smaller containers.
Yes. The standard unit is rated for temperatures up to 160°F (71°C). This makes it a great choice for hot sauce makers, candle pouring, or cosmetic products that need to be filled while warm.
We offer seals in Buna, Silicone, Viton, and EPDM. Buna is standard for most non-corrosive liquids. Viton is recommended for oils and harsh chemicals. Silicone is great for high-temp applications. If you are unsure, contact us with your product details and we will recommend the right kit.
No. The HF1 is a 100% manual machine. It is operated by a hand lever, making it quiet, portable, and reliable without the need for electricity or compressed air lines.
