Automatic Indexing Modules are used in the technological process of aerosol production and are the most crucial machines of any aerosol filling line This is where all key processes of aerosol manufacturing take place, including:
Solmatic Automatic Indexing Modules are built from stainless steel and are fully customized to meet customer and industry requirements.
For capacities up to 40 cans/minute we offer All-in-One Automatic Modules combining all processes in one compact machine. For capacities over 40 cans/minute we offer separate machines for Filling-Crimping and Gassing.
The scheme of operation of Automatic Product Filling and Crimping Module is as follows: cans enter the machine, whereupon they are guided towards successive working stations (filling -> valve insertion & checking -> crimping). The setting of the product dose can be manual or automatic similar to height adjustment of the operating units. The type and number of filling heads depends on the expected line capacity, product properties and its volume. The machine has a safety system in the door which causes the machine to stop immediately if the door is opened. The cans are guided centrally under successive heads using interchangeable sets for each can diameter. The machine can be equipped with a single or double step pneumatic motor or an electric motor with variable index. Automatic Product Filling and Crimping Module can also be equipped with automatic Ball Dropper.
The Automatic Gas Filling Module – usually located in the Gas House - is suitable for use in explosive zones. The cans enter the machine and are then filled with a pre-set gas dose at the respective working stations. The gas dose setting can be manual or automatic similar to height adjustment of the operating units. The type and number of gassing heads depends on the expected line capacity, gas properties and its volume. The machine has a safety system in the door which causes the machine to stop immediately if the door is opened during operation. The cans are guided centrally under successive heads using interchangeable sets for each can diameter. The machine can have a single or double step pneumatic motor or an electric motor with variable index when working with multiple gasses.
For high speed production and gassing with a single gas we recommend Rotary Gassing Modules (with continuous motion), also to be placed in a safety Gas House.
The Automatic Gassing Module with Variable Index is a machine used to fill propellant gas through a valve into aerosol cans with increased capacity thanks to a redesigned gassing system. Automatic Gassing Module with Variable Index is usually located in the Gas House and is suitable for use in explosive zones.
How does the machine work? The cans enter the machine and are then filled with a pre-set gas dose at the respective working stations. The gas dose setting can be manual or automatic similar to height adjustment of the operating units. The type and number of filling heads depends on the expected line capacity, gas properties and its volume. The machine has a safety system in the door which causes the machine to stop immediately if the door is opened during operation. The cans are guided centrally under successive heads using interchangeable sets for each can diameter. The machine has an electric motor with variable index that allows for individual settings while working with multiple gasses with differet parameters.
This machine offers supreme flexibility and has a capacity of 60 cans/minute for big gas volumes (which ultimately depends on the aerosol valve flowrate). It is mainly used in gas cartridge filling. For high speed production and gassing with a single gas we recommend Rotary Gassing Modules.
The Automatic All-in-One Module up to 40 pcs/min is a device that combines all key steps in the aerosol production process in one compact machine.
How does the machine work? The scheme of operation is as follows: the cans enter the machine, whereupon they are guided towards successive working stations (filling -> valve insertion & checking -> crimping -> gassing).
Product and gas dosage can be adjusted manually or automatically, as can the height of the operating units. The machine also features pneumatic controls and drive to ensure optimum explosion protection and easy adjustment.
The Automatic All-in-One Module is controlled by switches and buttons on the control panel. These allow for the automatic and manual controls of all the working units. The machine can be switched off immediately in case of emergency with an emergency button.
You receive one hundred per cent personalised, tailor-made technological solutions, comprehensive service and support before, during and after the project.
By relying on proven automated solutions, you increase productivity, quality and speed of production, reducing the risk of wasted time during the production process due to equipment faults and breakdowns - thus reducing costs. The Solmatic automatic lines are capable of filling up to 120 cans per minute.
Our machines have short set-up times, so you are able to maintain a smooth and flexible production process. With Solmatic machines you do not waste valuable set-up time - you produce more and do not generate unnecessary costs.
All Solmatic machines are covered under warranty. We provide an online warranty service to assist our customers remotely, wherever they are. Our expert technicians carry out periodic inspections. We have a wide range of proven spare parts (if during a technical inspection a part needs to be replaced - we can provide this service immediately). Our representatives are present in the largest markets in order to respond to our customers' needs on an ongoing basis.
