Our solutions — filling, conveying, palletizing and emptying for jerrycans, drums and IBCs (totes)
Filling machines are at the core of what AiCROV builds, and we still design and build every one of them in Tarragona. Around them we design and build what a filling plant needs, from the conveyors that feed the filler to the palletizer at the end of the line, and we run it all as one project.
Filling machines
Ten weigh filling machines for containers from 1 to 1,500 litres (up to 400 gal). Semi-automatic machines keep an operator at the filling point and suit small batches and many products; automatic machines uncap, fill, cap and seal with nobody in the filling area.
Semi-automatic Liquid Filling Machines
LSG — semi-automatic weigh filling machine for jerrycans and small containers
Semi-automatic weigh filling machine for jerrycans and small containers. No installation: connect power, air and product, and it is ready to fill.
LSB — semi-automatic weigh filling machine for drums
Semi-automatic drum filling machine for 30 to 250 litres: it weighs every drum as it fills, comes preconfigured and is simple to run.
LSC — semi-automatic weigh filling machine for IBCs
For plants that only fill IBCs (totes): quick to set up and configure, and available in an explosion proof version.
SP1 — semi-automatic weigh filling machine for containers on a pallet
Semi-automatic weigh filling of jerrycans, drums and IBCs on a pallet: the operator positions the nozzle and the machine fills to the net weight.
SP2 — semi-automatic filling line for containers on a pallet, with conveyors
Semi-automatic filling of drums and IBCs on a pallet, from 20 to 1,500 litres, by weight, on a preconfigured machine.
SP25 — weigh filling machine with motorised nozzle positioning
This is the machine in the range where the operator stops moving the head by hand. Travel in X, in…
Automatic Liquid Filling Machines
EL2-E — in-line automatic filling machine for jerrycans and small containers
Automatic in-line weigh filling machine for liquid and viscous products in metal or plastic canisters, pails and jerrycans with a rectangular base.
EL2-B — in-line automatic drum filling machine
Automatic in-line filling of steel and plastic drums from 60 to 250 litres, by weight, with uncapping, capping and sealing stations.
Robot Filler — fully automatic robotic filling machine for drums and IBCs
Robotic filling of jerrycans, drums and IBCs on a pallet: 3D vision finds each container, then the robot uncaps, fills, caps and seals.
SP3 — automatic filling machine for drums and IBCs on a pallet
With the Robot Filler, this is the most automated machine we build. The operator does not intervene during the cycle…
Turnkey filling lines
Complete lines from the empty container to the wrapped pallet: filling, capping, labelling, palletizing and wrapping, with one supplier and one project manager.
Intralogistics projects
We design how containers and pallets move through your plant — layout, buffers, forklift access, safety — and integrate every machine in the line under one control system.
Palletizing
The RPE robot palletizer for jerrycans, small drums, bottles and pails, and the PBE automatic palletizer for drums.
Emptying and dosing
The same weighing technology, used to empty drums and IBCs or to dose exact quantities into reactors and tanks.
Project and service
How we run your project and Service & Support: one project manager, stage gates, an internal test before your FAT, remote assistance and spare parts.
AiCROVFill® — how the dose is controlled
Weighing a container while you fill it is not difficult. Getting the last hundred grams right, every time, on a product that foams, settles or clings to the lance, is the whole job. AiCROVFill® closes the nozzle at the target weight, keeps watching the settled weight for a set time and, if it falls below the target, reopens and completes the dose. Filling parameters are stored as recipes per product and container, so changing reference is a selection on the panel.
Below surface filling mode
This mode is designed for liquids that tend to foam, or that are flammable or explosive.
Under bunghole filling mode
This mode suits products that are non-foaming, non-flammable and non-explosive, including products of high density or viscosity.
Over bunghole filling mode
This mode suits highly viscous, non-foaming products such as greases, adhesives and other thick products, and is used for containers without a bunghole.
Designed for safety
Every machine is designed to European machinery safety legislation, with risk assessment to EN ISO 12100, safety-related control to EN ISO 13849-1 and electrical equipment to EN 60204-1. The risk assessment is made on the configuration actually supplied. For hazardous areas, the explosion proof version is engineered under the certification scheme of the country of installation, and on automatic machines it covers the whole assembly.
Frequently Asked Questions
What solutions does AiCROV offer?
Weigh filling machines for jerrycans, drums and IBCs, turnkey filling lines, intralogistics projects, robot and automatic palletizers, and emptying and dosing stations — designed, built and tested in Tarragona, Spain, and delivered as one project.
Why choose AiCROV’s liquid filling machinery?
AiCROV designs and builds each filling machine for the product, the container and the plant it will work in. The engineering is done in-house, and we support the machine after delivery.
What types of liquids can AiCROV’s machines fill?
AiCROV filling machines handle products that are viscous, pasty, flammable, explosive, toxic, aggressive or foaming. The only requirement is that the product behaves as a liquid. We adapt each machine to the characteristics of your product so that the fill is accurate and stable.
Can the machines be built in an explosion proof version?
Yes. Every model is available in an explosion proof version. Our engineering team reviews each project against the certification scheme that applies in the country of installation — ATEX in Europe, IECEx or the local scheme in many other markets, NEC in the United States — and the protection is engineered for the complete assembly, not machine by machine, so the line can be commissioned without surprises.
Which AiCROV filling model do I need?
It depends on three things: whether you need a semi-automatic or an automatic machine, the container (IBCs, drums, jerrycans or pails) and the product (aggressive, toxic and so on). Our technical team works through them with you to define the machine that fits.
Can AiCROV fillers be integrated into an existing line?
Yes. We adapt the machine to fit your existing plant and production line, and plan the installation to keep downtime to a minimum.
Do you provide technical support outside Spain?
Yes. We work through agents and distributors who handle sales and after-sales service in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Poland.
Does AiCROV perform verification and testing before delivering the filling machine?
Yes. We carry out two validation phases:
- Factory Acceptance Test (FAT): Carried out at our facilities with the customer, who validates the machine technically before it ships.
- Site Acceptance Test (SAT): Once installed at the customer’s plant, we perform the final verification using the actual product, containers, and caps supplied by the customer.
How is the product supply connected to the machine?
The product inlet is connected via standard sanitary or industrial fittings such as flanges, Tri-Clamp, or Camlock connections. These fittings ensure secure coupling, easy maintenance, and compatibility with existing plant piping.
Do AiCROV machines include physical overfill detection?
Yes. AiCROV liquid filling machines can include overfill detection through differential pressure (similar to fuel nozzles). This system detects incorrect fill levels inside the container before overfilling occurs.
What accuracy does the weighing system of AiCROV machines provide?
The weighing system decides filling accuracy and repeatability. AiCROV uses hermetically sealed load cells of rocker pin design, with their weighing electronics. Accuracy classes C3, C6 and C10 are available, according to industrial standards and customer requirements. The load cells withstand humid environments and are easy to inspect or replace.
Can AiCROV machines handle high-temperature products?
Yes. AiCROV machines can fill products at very low or very high temperatures by selecting appropriate materials, components, and seals according to the product temperature and application requirements.
Do AiCROV machines require less cleaning than other filling technologies?
Yes. Direct weight filling reduces the need for intermediate equipment. Volumetric systems, flowmeters and mass meters often need an intermediate tank to keep pressure and flow constant; our machines fill directly on the scale. That means fewer product-contact surfaces, shorter cleaning and less risk of contamination.
