Aerosol Fillers

Aerosol filling lines combine product filling, valve placement and crimping, and propellant gassing, with safety requirements for flammable propellants.

How it works

Aerosol filling machines dispense product concentrate and propellant into pressurized aerosol cans, typically in separate stages for product fill and propellant charging. Propellant filling often occurs under pressure and may require specialized safety systems due to the flammable or pressurized nature of many propellants. Crimping equipment then secures the valve assembly to seal the can.

Common applications

• Filling personal care aerosol products
• Packaging household aerosol cleaners
• Filling automotive aerosol products
• Packaging industrial aerosol lubricants and coatings

Typical products and containers

Advantages

• Handles both product and propellant filling stages
• Can incorporate safety systems for pressurized and flammable propellants
• Integrates with valve crimping for a complete fill-and-seal process
• Scales from small-batch to high-volume aerosol production

Buying considerations

• Confirm the propellant type and associated safety and handling requirements.
• Consider hazardous area classification for the filling environment.
• Evaluate compatibility between the machine and your can and valve specifications.
• Check regulatory requirements applicable to pressurized aerosol packaging in your market.
• Assess throughput needs against single or multi-head filling configurations.
