Solvent filling machines
For flammable, low-viscosity or specialist solvent products where line controls and environment need review.

ATEX filling machine options for solvent and flammable-liquid projects.
ATEX filling should be approached as a project specification, not as a simple product label. The liquid, vapour behaviour, flash point, container, site zoning, utilities and installation environment all affect the filling equipment.
- Specification-led ATEX filling discussions
- Useful for solvents, thinners and flammable specialist liquids
- Review filling, capping, controls and site conditions together

Specification
ATEX projects need the product and site in the same conversation.
A flammable liquid can change the specification of the filler, electrical components, pneumatics, controls, conveyors and installation plan. The correct answer depends on the liquid and the area in which the machine will be installed.
Information to provide
- SDS and product description
- Flash point and vapour considerations where known
- Fill volume and container type
- Manual, semi-auto or automatic target
- Site zoning, extraction, utilities and installation constraints

ATEX filling considerations
| Question | Why it matters | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Is the liquid flammable? | The liquid properties influence the required machine and controls. | Provide SDS and product details early |
| Where will the machine run? | Hazardous area zoning affects specification and installation. | Describe the production area and utilities |
| How is the container closed? | Open containers, caps and vapour control affect the wider line. | Review filling and capping together |
| What output is required? | Automation level changes equipment scope and layout. | State realistic daily and peak targets |

Important safety note
These notes are intended to help you prepare an equipment enquiry. They do not replace a formal DSEAR, ATEX, site-risk or compliance assessment. Final specification should be confirmed using product data, installation conditions and competent engineering review.
FAQ
Chemical filling machine questions
Do I need an ATEX filling machine for solvents?
Possibly. The answer depends on the solvent, flash point, vapour behaviour, container, filling environment and site zoning. Send the SDS and site context for review.
Can ATEX filling be automatic?
Yes, but the full line must be considered carefully, including container handling, capping, controls, utilities and installation area.
Can a standard filler be used in a hazardous area?
Do not assume that. Hazardous-area projects need proper review before equipment is selected or installed.
