Dispenser pumps up sales of olive oil

A specially adapted pump dispenser, developed at the request of purchasing manager Nikos Zanas, has helped transform sales of Minerva Greek Olive Oil in 5-L metal cans.

Pw 13481 Minerva

Said to be the first dispensing system for olive oil in the European market, the pump is an adaptation of the Englass FND30 from Rieke Packaging Systems in England.

To use the pump, Rieke designed a unique collar closure that enables the pump to be attached to the flexible spout in the Minerva tin. The spout’s 28-mm opening is 10-mm narrower than usually required for the pump. The dispenser provides a measured 30-mL dose, and comes with a special anti-drain-back valve that retains oil in the pump so it doesn’t require priming after the initial use. An anti-drip insert is supplied in the nozzle.
