The aerosol filling process
- Liquid filling — the concentrate (fragrance, cleaner, sunscreen, paint) is dosed into the can.
- Valve insertion — the valve cup is placed on the can opening.
- Crimping — the valve cup is crimped to form a gas-tight seal.
- Gassing — propellant is injected through the valve.
- Leak testing, actuator and cap — usually downstream.
Our aerosol filling machine
The Aerosol can filling, crimping & gassing machine combines liquid filling, crimping and gassing for 20–500 ml metal aerosol cans (customisable) at 10–20 cans per minute, for air fresheners, hair spray, engine cleaner, sunscreen spray and cleaning sprays. See the aerosol can filling line.
Safety first
Hydrocarbon propellants are flammable. Gassing must be done in a suitably ventilated, classified area with appropriate equipment and procedures under your local regulations. Discuss your propellant, site and compliance requirements with us before ordering — we will tell you plainly what the machine can and cannot be configured for.
Bag-on-valve and compressed gas
Bag-on-valve (BOV) cans and compressed-gas (nitrogen, air) products use different filling sequences. Tell us your can and valve type.
What to send
- Can diameter and height, valve type
- Product and propellant, fill amounts

Questions and answers
How does an aerosol filling machine work?
It fills the liquid concentrate, places and crimps the valve, then injects propellant through the valve.
How fast is your aerosol filling machine?
It lists 10–20 cans per minute for 20–500 ml cans.
What products can be filled?
Air fresheners, hair spray, engine cleaner, sunscreen spray, cleaning sprays and similar products in metal aerosol cans.
Is aerosol filling dangerous?
Flammable propellants require proper ventilation, area classification and procedures. Plan the site with your safety advisers before installing.
