AF4-1600A semi automatic aerosol filling machine

AF4-1600A is a semi automatic aerosol filling machine with four integrated stations (liquid filling, valve placing, valve crimping and gas filling) built into a single frame, supplied with a separate booster pump for a stable air supply, and running at 4000–6000 cans per 8 hours. It handles tinplate and aluminium aerosol cans with the international standard 1-inch (25.4 mm) valve, offers 50–500 ml for both liquid and gas fill volumes, and holds both liquid and gas filling accuracy within ±1%, making it suitable for small-batch, high-mix production of one-component aerosols such as pharmaceutical and cosmetic sprays.

1. Product Overview

Applications

Suitable products (per the equipment list remarks):

One-component pharmaceutical aerosols (topical sprays, sanitising and care sprays, etc.)
Cosmetic aerosols (skincare mist, setting spray, sunscreen spray, etc.)

Suitable containers: Tinplate and aluminium aerosol cans with the international standard 1-inch (1" / 25.4 mm) can opening, can diameter 40–65 mm, can height 70–330 mm

Core Functions

Function	Description
Liquid filling	Metered liquid filling, 50–500 ml (customisable), accuracy ≤±1%
Valve placing	Automatically centres and seats the aerosol valve to prepare for crimping, reducing manual alignment error
Valve crimping	Crimps the 1-inch aerosol valve; fast cycle and reliable sealing quality
Gas filling	Metered propellant filling, 50–500 ml (customisable), accuracy ≤±1%
Booster air supply	Dedicated booster pump delivers a stable air supply for smoother, safer operation

2. Key Advantages

Four stations in one frame: Liquid filling, valve placing, valve crimping and gas filling are integrated on a single machine. The operator only loads and unloads cans, and the full can cycle is completed on one unit — small footprint, fast transfer, ideal for small-to-medium batches with multiple product variants.
Higher accuracy: Both liquid filling accuracy and gas filling accuracy are ≤±1%, tighter than the ≤±2% typical of semi-automatic machines, cutting product and propellant losses.
Dedicated booster pump: A booster pump (560×320×820 mm, 35 kg) is supplied as standard and sits separately from the main machine, giving a stable air supply and smoother, safer running.
Wide fill range: Liquid and gas fill volumes are both 50–500 ml, covering mainstream one-component aerosol specifications, and both can be customised on request.
Broad can compatibility: Suitable for can diameters of 40–65 mm and can heights of 70–330 mm, covering most tinplate and aluminium can sizes.
Universal valve: Works with the international standard 1-inch (25.4 mm) aerosol valve, so customers need no extra tooling or modification for valve format.
Customisable: Fill volume, can diameter, can height and other specifications can all be tailored to the customer's can and product.
Corrosion-resistant design: Liquid-contact parts are made of 316L stainless steel with PTFE seals, so media containing corrosive ingredients can be filled.
Reliable key components: Seals are supplied by Taiwan Han Sheng Sealing Technology Co., Ltd., and cylinders are AirTAC branded.

4. Sales Tips & FAQ

Sales Tips

Positioning: Suited to customers running pilot or small-batch production of one-component pharmaceutical and cosmetic aerosols; customers needing higher output should be offered automatic multi-head lines.
Must-ask before quoting: ① the medium and whether it contains corrosive ingredients (this determines the seal and wetted-part configuration); ② can diameter and height (to confirm they fall within 40–65 mm / 70–330 mm or need customising); ③ whether the valve is standard 1 inch; ④ propellant type (LPG / DME / compressed air etc.) and the gas supply plan; ⑤ whether on-site installation is required.
Custom-built equipment: Images are for reference only. Machines are built to the customer's can and product, and the final configuration and lead time are subject to contract.
Differentiation pitch: Lead with the two points — four stations in one frame (filling + valve placing + crimping + gas filling) and ±1% accuracy on both liquid and gas. Few semi-automatic machines at this price point combine both.

FAQ

Q1: Can this machine complete liquid filling, valve placing, crimping and gas filling in one pass? A: Yes. AF4-1600A uses a four-station integrated design. The operator loads and unloads cans, and the same machine runs liquid filling → valve placing → valve crimping → gas filling in sequence, with a separate booster pump supplying air.

Q2: Which can types and valves does it fit? A: It fits tinplate and aluminium aerosol cans with the international standard 1-inch (25.4 mm) can opening, can diameter 40–65 mm and can height 70–330 mm. Sizes outside this range can be customised.

Q3: What are the fill volumes and accuracy? A: Liquid and gas fill volumes are both 50–500 ml (both customisable), and both liquid filling accuracy and gas filling accuracy are ≤±1%.

Q4: What production scale can it handle? A: 4000–6000 cans per 8 hours (approx. 500–750 cans/hour), suited to small-to-medium batches with multiple product variants; for higher output, an automatic multi-head model can be offered.

Q5: What are the air supply requirements? A: Compressed air at 0.65–1.0 MPa, air consumption approx. 1.0 m³/min. The machine comes with a dedicated booster pump to keep the supply stable.

Q6: What are the machine dimensions and weight? A: Main machine 1300×750×1680 mm, approx. 230 kg; booster pump 560×320×820 mm, approx. 35 kg. The two units are installed separately.

6. Workflow

Semi-automatic sequence (manual can loading, four stations in series):

Operator loads an empty can
    ↓
① Liquid filling station — metered liquid fill (50–500 ml, accuracy ≤±1%)
    ↓
② Valve placing station — aerosol valve automatically centred and seated
    ↓
③ Valve crimping station — 1" aerosol valve crimped in place
    ↓
④ Gas filling station — metered propellant fill (50–500 ml, accuracy ≤±1%)
    ↓
Operator removes the finished can

Air circuit: air source (LPG / DME / compressed air) → booster pump (560×320×820 mm, 35 kg) → machine stations. The booster pump holds the supply steady at 0.65–1.0 MPa, keeping operation smoother and safer.

Power/air supply: compressed air 0.65–1.0 MPa, air consumption 1.0 m³/min.
