ATEX filling machinery matched to your production
Tell us what you fill, the pack sizes and the output you need. We’ll help you compare automatic fillers, weigh systems, large-container machines and complete fill-cap-label lines.
Direct advice from a UK machinery supplier — no third-party lead service.
Compare practical machine routes
We compare your liquid, containers, required output and hazardous-area information to focus the choice on machinery that can work for your production.
Increase output with a conveyor-fed filler selected around your liquid, container, dosing method and hazardous-area requirements.
Fill larger containers accurately by weight, with a compact station matched to your pack handling and required throughput.
Handle buckets, jerrycans and drums with controlled filling, splash reduction and safer movement of the heavier finished pack.
Bring bottle handling, filling, capping, labelling and discharge together as one coordinated production line.
Protect product-contact parts with suitable materials for aggressive liquids, with ATEX features added where your application requires them.
Control stringing and viscous flow with suitable pumps, pistons and nozzles while accounting for solvent content and the operating area.
Why early planning matters
A successful project considers the filler, product supply, static control, ventilation, container movement and every downstream machine that may sit inside or affect the hazardous area.
A clear route to quotation and delivery
Define the product, viscosity, volatility, compatibility, fill volume, container and cleaning method.
Share the zone, gas group, temperature class, existing DSEAR assessment and any site-specific controls.
Select dosing, nozzles, actuation, controls, materials, container handling and downstream integration.
Agree testing, conformity documentation, layout, installation, commissioning, operator training and support.
Choose by product
Acetone, ethanol blends, thinners, reagents and flammable cleaners after compatibility and area review.
Volatile alcohol-based products, small bottles, precision dosing and closure integration.
Frequently asked questions
Provide the product SDS, hazardous-area or zone information, gas group and temperature-class requirements where known, fill-volume range, container details, target output, utilities, extraction arrangements and the downstream line stages.
Yes. Filling, capping, labelling, bottle handling and conveying can be considered as one project, but every item within or affecting the hazardous area must be reviewed in the line-level risk and conformity plan.
No. Chemical compatibility and explosion protection are separate design questions. A machine may need corrosion-resistant wetted parts, hazardous-area protection, or both, depending on the product and site assessment.
Large-container routes are available, including weigh-based and diving-nozzle systems for common 5–30 litre formats. Final suitability depends on container geometry, product behaviour, handling and the hazardous-area brief.

Project scope
An ATEX filling project is strongest when the site duties and the equipment duties are defined together but not confused. The product, room, ventilation, transfer system and operating method establish the workplace risk. The filling machine must then be selected and documented for the declared conditions and intended use.
The employer or site operator needs a competent assessment of dangerous substances, release sources, hazardous-area boundaries and the measures used to eliminate or control fire and explosion risk. A product name on its own is not enough to define a zone.
Lancing uses the declared area classification, product SDS, filling method, containers, utilities and line layout to develop the machinery scope. Electrical and non-electrical ignition sources, static control, access, maintenance and documentation all need to be considered.
A protected motor, control enclosure or sensor is only one part of the installation. The assembled machine, product path, moving parts, operator controls, conveyors and downstream equipment must be reviewed against the agreed hazardous-area and conformity scope.
Platform comparison
The figures below consolidate reference information already published on this site. They are useful for an initial shortlist, but they are not universal guarantees. Final output, tolerance, utilities and construction depend on the real product, pack, hazardous-area classification and approved project specification.
| Machine route | Published reference | Best used to investigate |
|---|---|---|
| Automatic ATEX filler | 50–5000 ml; 1–6 heads | Conveyor-fed bottles, higher output and coordinated downstream equipment. |
| LUYTEXW1 weigh platform | 10–30 L; up to 30 kg; approximately 3–6 containers/minute reference | Mass-based control for jerrycans and smaller drums. |
| LUGTW2S large-pack family | 5–30 L; up to 50 kg on the reference platform | Bucket, pail and jerrycan filling with nozzle travel and heavy-pack handling. |
| Complete filling line | Configured fill, cap, label, inspect and transfer modules | Line-level controls, hazardous-area boundaries and balanced production. |
| Corrosion-resistant route | 100–3000 ml reference gravity platform; four-nozzle standard configuration | Product-contact compatibility for bleach, acids, cleaners and aggressive liquids, with ATEX reviewed separately where required. |
Evidence for quotation
A useful quotation states what has been assumed, what still needs confirming and how acceptance will be measured. The following inputs reduce avoidable redesign and make it easier to compare proposals on the same basis.
Current SDS, formulation or concentration where relevant, operating temperature, viscosity, density, foam, particles, conductivity, product supply and the proposed cleaning method.
Real containers and closures, dimensions, neck opening, fill range, required sustained output, batch pattern, changeover frequency and downstream handling.
Competent hazardous-area information, utilities, extraction responsibilities, layout constraints, documentation needs and agreed sample-trial, FAT and SAT acceptance criteria.
No. The suitability of the assembled machine depends on its intended use, area classification, protection concepts, electrical and non-electrical ignition risks, product path, controls and documentation. Individual components support that assessment but do not replace it.
Agree the product or representative test medium, containers, closures, recipes, target quantities, test duration, output basis, reject conditions, alarms, interlocks, cleaning checks and the evidence to be recorded. Site-specific ventilation and area-classification duties remain subject to the installation and SAT scope.
Send your product SDS, pack sizes, fill range, target output and any available hazardous-area information.
