What Sets Bag-On-Valve Aerosols Apart from Traditional Ones?

Products filled using Bag-On-Valve (BOV) technology can be dispensed up to 99% of their contents! The product is completely separated from the propellant gas, maintaining its full quality. This makes BOV a modern solution that is quickly replacing conventional propellant-based aerosols on the market.

How Do BOV Machines Work?

BOV machines, like traditional ones, are powered by compressed air. The key difference lies in the dispensing method: air replaces propellant gas to push the product out of the can.

The BOV system consists of an aerosol valve with an attached bag. The container is filled with non-flammable gas (usually air or nitrogen), while the bag itself is filled with the product. When the actuator is pressed, the product is sprayed by the compression of the internal bag by the surrounding gas.

Advantages of BOV

The BOV technology improves safety on the production floor as it eliminates the need for harmful or flammable propellants during the filling process.

The product is filled into a sealed bag inside the can, which prevents contamination from the propellant – ensuring maximum hygiene.

End-user convenience is another key benefit that can influence purchasing decisions and boost sales. The BOV system allows consistent pressure spraying in any position, offering a premium experience.

As a conscious machine manufacturer, we also care about the environment. BOV is a more eco-friendly alternative to traditional aerosol filling methods. Moreover, it enables products to be used up almost completely by consumers.

Disadvantages of BOV

For balance, it’s worth mentioning a key downside: with BOV, the dispensing pressure decreases as the can empties. This contrasts with traditional aerosols, which maintain relatively constant pressure regardless of how much product remains inside.

Solmatic BOV Machines
