AF3-1600A Semi-Automatic Three-Head Aerosol Filling Machine
Product Model: AF3-1600A
Category: Aerosol Filling Machine
The AF3-1600A is a semi-automatic three-head aerosol filling machine that combines liquid filling, crimping, and gas charging into a single machine frame, supplied with a matched booster pump for stable air supply. Output is 100–300 cans per hour per machine. It handles tinplate and aluminium aerosol cans with the international standard 1-inch (25.4 mm) valve, with liquid and gas filling volumes of 40–500 ml at an accuracy of plus or minus 2 percent (±2%). It fills a wide range of media, including corrosive liquids, and is widely used for industrial maintenance sprays, car care products, and household spray products.

Core Functions
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| Liquid filling | Volumetric liquid filling; contact parts in 316L stainless steel with PTFE seals, compatible with corrosive liquids |
| Crimping | Internal expansion crimping of 1-inch aerosol valves; guided crimping head for fast, reliable and consistent crimping |
| Gas charging | Volumetric propellant gas charging, accuracy plus or minus 2 percent (±2%) |
| Booster air supply | Matched booster pump keeps production running more stably and safely |
2. Key Advantages
- Three stations in one machine: Liquid filling, crimping and gas charging are integrated into a single frame — a small footprint and fast workflow, ideal for small and medium batches with a wide product mix.
- Proven crimping technology: The crimping unit draws extensively on the structural design of Pamasol (Switzerland) filling machines. The guided crimping head delivers fast crimping, reliable crimp quality, and easy operation, adjustment and maintenance.
- Twin-cylinder crimping structure: The lower cylinder (clamping cylinder) drives the crimping head down to clamp the aerosol valve, while the upper cylinder performs the crimp — stable and reliable in action.
- Corrosion-resistant design: Liquid contact parts are made of 316L stainless steel with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) seals, handling different liquids including corrosive ones.
- Reliable key components: Seals are supplied by Hansheng Sealing Technology Co., Ltd. (Taiwan); cylinders are AirTAC brand, giving a clean, modern appearance.
- Long service life: No frequent seal replacement required; service life is longer than comparable filling machines in the industry.
- Booster pump included: The added booster pump keeps the air supply stable, making production more consistent and safer.
- Customisable: Suitable for can diameters of 35–65 mm and can heights of 70–330 mm, both customisable on request.

4. Sales Tips & FAQ
Sales Tips
- Positioning: A good fit for customers with small to medium monthly output and a wide product mix (both industrial maintenance and household spray products). For high-volume, high-speed lines, recommend a fully automatic model.
- Must-ask questions before quoting: (1) Is the filling medium corrosive (determines seal and contact-part specification)? (2) Can diameter and height? (3) Is the valve a standard 1-inch valve? (4) Is a booster pump and LPG gas supply solution required?
- Built-to-order machine: Images are for reference only. The machine is customized to the customer's can size and medium; lead time and configuration are subject to the contract.
- Differentiation talking points: Lead with three selling points — Pamasol-derived crimping head, 316L + PTFE corrosion resistance, and Hansheng seals + AirTAC cylinders. Competing machines at the same price point rarely offer all three.
FAQ
Q1: Can this machine complete liquid filling, crimping and gas charging in one pass? A: Yes. The AF3-1600A is a three-station integrated design: cans are loaded and unloaded manually, and liquid filling → crimping → gas charging are completed in sequence on the same machine, supported by the booster pump.
Q2: Which can types and valves is it suitable for? A: Tinplate and aluminium aerosol cans with the international standard 1-inch (25.4 mm) can opening, can diameters of 35–65 mm and can heights of 70–330 mm. Sizes are customisable.
Q3: Can it fill corrosive liquids (such as certain cleaners and maintenance agents)? A: Yes. Liquid contact parts are made of 316L stainless steel with PTFE seals, handling different liquids including corrosive ones.
Q4: What production scale is it suitable for? A: Output is 100–300 cans per hour per machine, ideal for small and medium batches with a wide product mix. For higher output, upgrade to a fully automatic multi-head model.
Q5: How is crimp quality ensured? A: The crimping head uses guided crimping (drawing on Pamasol structural design) with a twin-cylinder structure: the clamping cylinder clamps the valve first, then the crimping cylinder completes the internal expansion crimp — fast and reliable.
Q6: What are the air supply requirements? A: Compressed air pressure of 0.65–1.0 MPa and air consumption of approximately 0.8 m³/min; the machine is supplied with a booster pump for a stable air supply.

6. Workflow
Semi-automatic operation sequence (cans loaded manually, three stations working in sequence):
Load empty can manually
↓
(1) Liquid filling station — volumetric liquid filling (40-500 ml, accuracy ±2%)
↓
(2) Crimping station — clamping cylinder clamps the 1" aerosol valve → crimping cylinder performs internal expansion crimping
↓
(3) Gas charging station — volumetric propellant charging (40-500 ml, accuracy ±2%)
↓
Remove finished can manually
Air circuit: LPG / compressed air supply → booster pump (360 × 320 × 750 mm) → each station of the machine. The booster pump keeps the supply pressure stable, making production smoother and safer.
