AiCROV semi-automatic filling machine filling four drums on a pallet

Semi-automatic filling machines for jerrycans, drums and IBCs (totes)

In a semi-automatic AiCROV machine the operator brings the container, or the pallet, and positions the nozzle; the machine tares, doses to the net weight and controls the final weight. It is the most economical way to stop filling by eye and start filling by weight, and the Plug & Fill models need only power, compressed air and product.

Our semi-automatic filling machines

Our semi-automatic weigh filling machines fill drums, IBCs (totes) and canisters and pails, from 1 to 1,500 litres (up to 400 gal). An explosion proof version is available for hazardous areas.

These liquid filling machines need no installation work and are simple to use: connect the machine and start filling. The only exception is the SP2 drum and IBC filling machine, which runs on a conveyor line.

Our Service & Support department maintains your equipment and provides technical service when you need it, with the aim of extending the service life of the machine.

When to move to an automatic machine

When pallet handling or nozzle positioning is what limits your operator, when you need uncapping, capping and sealing in the same station, or when nobody should stand at the filling point because of the product, the step is an automatic machine.

How AiCROVFill® controls the dose → our machine range

Main features

In all our semi-automatic filling machines for liquids, the filling cycle itself is fully automatic. AiCROVFill®, our filling control, fills each container accurately and as fast as the product allows.

On these machines, uncapping, capping and sealing are done by the operator.

  • Automatic filling, with automatic tare on every cycle.
  • Simple and intuitive setup.
  • Automatic check of the final weight at the end of every cycle, against the set tolerance.
  • Potential-free contacts for pump control or recirculation.
  • Main structural parts made of AISI 304 stainless steel.
  • Parts in contact with the product made of AISI 316L stainless steel.
  • Parts in contact with the product with food-grade certified materials (optional).
  • Suitable for foaming products.
  • Available in explosion proof version.
  • Fully wired on delivery.
  • Spill tray and free roller conveyor over the scale (standard on the LSB drum filling machine).
  • U-shaped pallet scale (LSC IBC filling machine and SP1 drum and IBC filling machine only).
  • Scale conveyor with motorised rollers (SP2 drum and IBC filling machine with conveyor line only).

Available accessories

Our semi-automatic filling machines for liquids accept a set of accessories that make the operator’s work faster and easier.

  • Quick Alignment system: an adjustable two-axis centring guide that makes it easier to align the filling nozzle with the bunghole (optional accessory for the LSG canister filling machine).
  • Passive gas hood with pneumatic anti-drip system: stops product dripping into the container and gases building up in the filling area.
  • Product hose support: carries the weight of the hose so that it does not pull on the filling nozzle.
  • Nitrogen purge: creates a nitrogen atmosphere inside the container, so that an electrical spark cannot ignite the product and the product does not oxidize.
  • Electrostatic discharge control: prevents sparks when filling flammable or explosive products.
  • Recipe storage: filling recipes are saved and recalled for later filling cycles.
  • Overfill detector: a product sensor on the filling nozzle prevents overfilling.
  • Spill tray and free roller conveyor over the scale: keeps the machine clean of spilt product and makes it easier for the operator to move the containers (optional accessory for the LSG canister filling machine).
  • Free roller conveyors at the scale infeed and outfeed: make it easier for the operator to move the containers (optional accessory for the LSG canister filling machine and the LSB drum filling machine).
