AiCROV in the United Kingdom
We have been supplying filling machines to British producers for years, from single semi-automatic fillers to complete lines. In the United Kingdom our machines fill lubricants, flammable cosmetic ingredients and spirits, among other products.
Some of our projects in the UK
- 2024 — Explosion proof EL2-E with automatic nozzle cleaning for flammable cosmetic ingredients — Seqens
- 2022 — Two LSG fillers joined by a roller conveyor for spirits in jerrycans — distillery
- 2017 — Two semi-automatic SP2 fillers on one conveyor line for lubricants — Moove
Local support. Our agent in the United Kingdom and Ireland works with our sales team in Tarragona, from the first visit to start-up. Every machine is CE marked and adapted to the regulations of the country of installation. Remote assistance and spare parts from globally distributed brands keep it running.
Why U.K. chemical manufacturers choose AiCROV?
AiCROV filling systems are already installed across the United Kingdom, handling operations with drums, IBCs and other industrial containers in facilities working with chemical and hazardous liquids.
Reasons companies choose AiCROV:
Robust industrial engineering: equipment designed to perform reliably in demanding production environments and continuous industrial operation
Precise filling technology: high-accuracy dosing that ensures consistency, minimises product loss and supports safe handling of liquids
Experience in chemical and petrochemical liquids: extensive know-how in systems designed for processing and filling specialised industrial products
Built for U.K. industrial environments
Filling operations in the United Kingdom are shaped by a well-established chemical and petrochemical industrial base concentrated across several distinct regional clusters. The Teesside chemical complex — anchored by Wilton, Billingham and the wider Tees Valley — remains one of the UK’s largest integrated chemical manufacturing sites, producing specialty chemicals, lubricants and industrial intermediates at scale. The Grangemouth refinery and petrochemical complex in Scotland anchors significant upstream and downstream capacity, while the Humber estuary corridor and the north-west England cluster around Runcorn, Ellesmere Port and Warrington host substantial volumes of agrochemicals, consumer chemicals and food-grade liquid production.
Every project for the UK is reviewed by our engineering team against the post-Brexit framework that applies where the machine will be installed — such as UKCA and UKEX for equipment in explosive atmospheres, DSEAR (Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations) for hazardous liquid handling and COMAH (Control of Major Accident Hazards) site requirements where applicable — so the machine can be commissioned and operated without surprises. Container conventions in the UK follow a mixed metric and legacy imperial standard — 205-litre drums, 1,000-litre (275 gal) IBC totes, 25-litre jerricans and pails are predominant across industrial sites — and our weighing-based filling technology handles these formats with consistent accuracy across product viscosities and hazard classifications.
Through our partnership with Engelmann & Buckham, based in Alton, Hampshire, UK manufacturers gain a local point of contact for project coordination, on-site commissioning and after-sales service, while engineering and manufacturing remain centralized in Tarragona, Spain. This combination delivers European engineering precision with the local responsiveness that plant managers across the north-west chemical corridor require, particularly in regulated environments where DSEAR and COMAH compliance is non-negotiable.

Industrial filling problems we solve
Manual Filling Inefficiencies
Slow manual processes limit throughput and increase labour costs across filling operations.
Product Loss & Spills
Inaccurate dosing leads to costly product waste, spillage and environmental hazards.
Foaming Liquids
Foam-prone products require specialised filling techniques to maintain accuracy and speed.
Viscous Liquid Dosing
High-viscosity products demand precise control systems for consistent filling volumes.
Hazardous Chemical Handling
Chemical filling operations require safety-engineered systems to protect operators and facilities.
Safety Requirements
Explosive atmospheres call for equipment engineered and certified under the scheme that applies in the country of installation.

FAQ about AiCROV filling machines
- Do AiCROV filling machines meet UK safety and electrical standards?
Our filling systems are CE marked as standard. For the UK, our engineering team reviews every project against the post-Brexit requirements that apply at the installation site — such as UKCA and UKEX for equipment in explosive atmospheres, DSEAR (Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations) for hazardous liquid handling and COMAH (Control of Major Accident Hazards) site requirements where applicable — and we design, verify and document the machine accordingly.
- Who handles installation and commissioning in the UK?
Through our partner Engelmann & Buckham, based in Alton, Hampshire, we provide on-site commissioning, operator training and a Site Acceptance Test (SAT) at your facility. AiCROV engineers from Tarragona travel on-site for the SAT or for complex automated lines. Engelmann & Buckham provides coverage across all major UK chemical and petrochemical regions including Teesside, Grangemouth and the north-west corridor.
- What container sizes do your machines fill in the UK market?
From 1 litre up to 1,500 litres. The UK follows a mixed metric and legacy imperial standard — the most common formats across British industrial sites are 25-litre jerricans, 205-litre drums and 1,000-litre IBC totes. Custom configurations are available for non-standard containers.
- Do you provide spare parts and after-sales support in the UK?
Spare parts are coordinated through Engelmann & Buckham in Alton, with field service available across the United Kingdom. Remote connectivity is available as an option on every AiCROV machine, Plug & Fill included. When remote connectivity is active, our Tarragona team supports UK operations in real time, minimising unplanned downtime in continuous-operation environments.
- Can your systems fill hazardous chemicals, flammable solvents or corrosives?
Yes. AiCROV machines fill corrosive acids, flammable solvents, lubricants, agrochemicals and other hazardous liquids every day. For hazardous-area installations in the UK, equipment is engineered to the relevant DSEAR zone classification of your plant, reviewed against UKEX and COMAH requirements where applicable.
