PT-53 Semi-Automatic Gas Filler

-

The PT-53 is a semi-automatic device designed for precise filling of crimped aerosol containers with propellant gas. The machine achieves an output of up to 20 containers per minute – depending on the type and quantity of gas, valve throughput, can capacity, and operator experience.

It is ideal for small-scale production, laboratories, and pilot lines. Thanks to its high precision and repeatability, the PT-53 is suitable for use with various gas types – including LPG, DME, HFA, N₂O, and CO₂ – across technical, chemical, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications.

The machine is equipped with a filling head featuring a No-Can-No-Fill safety system, which prevents uncontrolled gas release – the head will not activate unless a container is properly positioned. When working with soluble gases (e.g., N₂O or CO₂), a special adapter must be used. For flammable gases, the machine must be installed in environments compliant with ATEX or equivalent fire safety regulations.

We offer standard adapters for 1” valves, male and female gas valves, and PU valves. Adapters for other valve types are available upon request.

Key Features:

  • Output up to 20 containers/min (depending on process conditions)
  • Precise and repeatable filling of crimped containers
  • No-Can-No-Fill safety system
  • Compatible with a wide range of gases, including soluble and flammable ones
  • Optional adapters for N₂O, CO₂, and other gases
  • Standard adapters for 1” valves, male/female gas valves, and PU
  • Custom adapters available on request
  • Powered exclusively by compressed air – no electrical power required

PT-53 MDI Semi-Automatic Gas Filler

+

The PT-53 MDI is a semi-automatic machine designed for precise filling of Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) containers with propellant gas. These containers are widely used in inhalation therapy, especially for treating asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Filling such pharmaceutical products requires exceptional precision, repeatability, and full compliance with stringent industry safety and quality standards. The PT-53 MDI provides complete control over gas dosing and features a No-Can-No-Fill safety system that prevents gas from being dispensed unless the container is correctly positioned.

The machine can fill up to 20 containers per minute depending on the type and amount of gas, valve throughput, container size, and operator experience. It is ideal for small-batch pharmaceutical production, laboratories, and pilot lines.

We offer standard adapters for 20 mm MDI valves. Other sizes are available upon request, based on customer specifications.

Key Features:

  • Output up to 20 containers/min (depending on conditions)
  • Accurate and repeatable gas filling for MDI containers
  • Fully compliant with pharmaceutical quality requirements
  • No-Can-No-Fill safety system prevents accidental gas release
  • Standard adapter for 20 mm MDI valves
  • Custom adapters available on request
  • Powered exclusively by compressed air – no electrical power required
