Explosion‑protected design
Ex‑rated enclosures and cabling for hazardous areas (spec per Zone/Group).
ATEX filling machines
ATEX Automatic Filling Machine
Automatic filling platform engineered for flammable solvents in zoned environments. Explosion‑protected electricals and pneumatic actuation reduce ignition risks and support compliance.
- Explosion‑protected design
- Pneumatic actuation
- Grounding & bonding
- Diving nozzles
Key features
Built for practical production use.
Pneumatic actuation
Air‑driven cylinders reduce ignition sources at the point of fill.
Grounding & bonding
Static control provisions for solvent handling.
Diving nozzles
Bottom‑up fill helps manage foaming/volatility.
Modular dosing
Compatible with piston, gear, or mass/magnetic pumps.
Line integration
Pairs with cappers and labellers in protected cells.

View detailsApplication and acceptance guidance
Configure this platform only against the site’s verified hazardous-area brief.
This product page describes a configurable automatic platform for flammable liquids and identifies project-dependent protection measures. The final design cannot be selected from a web specification alone. It requires the site operator’s hazardous-area classification, product safety data, process release points and the agreed boundary between filling equipment, extraction, product supply and downstream machinery.
Dose range, head count and metering technology are also application-dependent. Establish those only after the safe product path and site requirements are defined. A surrogate liquid may be used for some mechanical tests, but any difference from the production liquid must be recorded and addressed before final acceptance.
Project classification
Provide zone and gas or vapour group information, temperature requirements and a drawing showing boundaries. Confirm whether normal filling, container venting, spill or cleaning can change those boundaries.
Complete equipment boundary
Review product vessel, pump, hoses, filling platform, conveyor, cap handling, controls and extraction. Allocate the design, installation and verification responsibility for each interface.
Documentation and proof
Agree drawings, equipment certificates where applicable, risk assessment inputs, inspection records, operating instructions and test evidence. Do not replace missing documents with generic marketing descriptions.
Specification and trial evidence
ATEX platform project hold points.
The project should not pass a hold point until the required first-party evidence has been supplied and reviewed.
| Selection point | What to define or test | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Hazardous-area input | Approved classification and site standards received | Required before final equipment selection. |
| Materials input | Product and cleaning compatibility reviewed for the complete path | Required before product-contact design is frozen. |
| Layout input | Release points, extraction, containment and equipment boundaries agreed | Required before arrangement approval. |
| Controls input | Stop, interlock, earthing and interface responsibilities documented | Required before controls build and testing. |
| Trial input | Safe test medium or production product, packs and acceptance method agreed | Required before performance testing. |
| Site verification | Installation inspection and site responsibilities completed | Required before the customer releases production use. |
Buyer questions
Questions to resolve before the specification is fixed.
Is the platform automatically suitable for Zone 1 or Zone 2?
No blanket conclusion should be drawn. The final equipment must be configured and assessed against the approved site classification and the location of each component.
Can any pump be used?
The pump and metering principle must suit the liquid, dose, flow and hazardous-area requirements. Materials, static, seals and protection concept need project-specific review.
What does grounding and bonding address?
It can help control static potential where required, but the complete static risk depends on liquids, containers, hoses, flow and site procedures. Follow the risk assessment.
Is local extraction always required?
That depends on the substance, release, process, classification and site design. The customer’s competent project team should define the ventilation or containment requirement.
How can the filler be performance-tested?
Use an agreed safe test medium and clearly state which properties it does or does not reproduce, or test the production product under an approved safe procedure. Record dose and control conditions.
What information should be sent first?
Send the SDS, area classification, product and cleaning temperatures, pack and closure, fill range, output, product feed, extraction information and site standards.
