ZIMA Piston Cans

The ZIMA piston can is not a component. It is a system. Through the patented piston arrangement, the product is displaced mechanically, while propellant and product remain strictly separated.

Patented BOV-compatible FDA / NSF ISO / GMP

How it works

The gas pressure in the lower chamber displaces the piston mechanically upward. This propels the product from the upper chamber through the valve — without product and propellant ever coming into contact.

Mechanical displacement

The piston is driven purely mechanically by the gas pressure in the lower chamber.

Strict product separation

No contact between product and propellant. Pure formulations, no contamination.

BOV-compatible filling

Compatible with existing filling systems from Precision Valve, LINDAL, and Pamasol.

Why ZIMA?

  • Any valve usable = full flexibility in valve selection
  • No product–propellant contact = purer formulations
  • Only product without propellant in the spray = more precise dosing
  • Consistent dosing performance over the full product life
