Aerosol filling machine from China

An aerosol machine fills liquid, crimps a valve, then forces gas into a sealed can, and cheap quotes cut corners on that gas stage, where propellant burns and the crimp must hold pressure for the life of the can.

What you are actually comparing.

Two quotes, one machine name

What hides inside the price

Crimp head and valve

Ask for the crimp head per valve size, how crimp depth and diameter are set, and a gauge to check them.

Propellant filling method

Under-cap, through-valve and bag-on-valve filling need different heads. Ask which is quoted, for which gas.

Flammable gas

Ask whether the gas pump and electrical parts near it are ATEX equipment under 2014/34/EU. The zone is your assessment.

Leak testing

The Aerosol Dispensers Directive 75/324/EEC expects every filled can to pass a leak test, usually a hot water bath or an approved alternative. Ask whether the bath is in the price.

Before you ask for a price.

Send these with the enquiry. Without them, any number a factory gives you is a guess dressed as a quotation.

Can size and material, with valve and actuator samples.
Your product and propellant, with safety data sheets.
Cans per minute and shifts per day.
Whether a gas-free bag-on-valve pack is planned.
Stations after the gas: water bath, actuator, cap.

Require this	A pass looks like
Fill and crimp a counted run of your cans with your valve and gas.	Every crimp inside the gauge limits in the offer, every fill inside tolerance.
Pass the run through the hot water bath.	No bubbles from any can and no swollen or deformed cans.
Spray a sample of cans until empty.	Each can sprays to empty without spitting.

The ATEX declaration under 2014/34/EU for the gas stage, if it is sold for flammable propellant.
