Uncompromising Safety Engineering for Flammable Liquid Packaging

The LR-200 in its Explosion-Proof (Ex) execution represents the pinnacle of risk-averse engineering for industrial and pharmaceutical packaging. This machine is purpose-built for environments where flammable atmospheres (Zone 1, Zone 2 as per ATEX/Directive 2014/34/EU) are a constant consideration due to the evaporation of alcohols (ethanol, isopropanol) and solvents. Its design philosophy transcends standard GMP; it integrates Fundamental Safety Requirements for equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. By employing certified explosion-proof enclosures (Ex d) that contain any internal ignition, increased safety components (Ex e) that prevent excessive temperatures and sparks, and advanced pressurized purging systems (Ex p) for control panels, it ensures no single point of failure can trigger an incident. This makes it the mandatory and intelligent choice for facilities producing disinfectant wipes solution, fuel line antifreeze, laboratory reagents, and high-proof spirit-based products, where safeguarding human life and physical assets is the non-negotiable foundation of operational integrity. Investing in this technology is an investment in sustainable, responsible manufacturing.

Detailed Technical Specifications & Certified Safety Configuration

• Machine Type & Certification: Fully Automated, ATEX/IECEx Certified Rotary (Carousel) Monoblock for Group II (Gaseous atmospheres), Category 2G or 3G equipment. Delivered with full EU Declaration of Conformity and Ex Certification Dossier, ensuring audit-ready compliance for global markets.

• Core Filling Technology: High-precision volumetric dosing system with four (4) AISI 316L stainless steel piston cylinders. All pneumatic valves and cylinders can be specified with Ex-certified solenoids and actuators. The filling nozzle area can be fitted with local nitrogen inerting to displace oxygen and prevent formation of explosive mixtures at the point of fill.

• Explosion-Proof Electrical System: All electrical components are housed within ATEX-certified Ex d (flameproof) or Ex e (increased safety) enclosures. Certified barrier glands are used for all cable entries. Motors are Ex d or Ex e rated. The control system incorporates intrinsically safe (IS) circuits for sensors where required.

• Static Control & Grounding: The entire machine framework and all product-contact parts are electrically bonded and grounded to prevent the accumulation of static electricity, a critical ignition source when handling low-conductivity fluids like alcohols.

• Capping Station: The screw capping head utilizes Ex-certified servo or pneumatic drives. The station can be partially enclosed with vapor extraction to remove flammable vapors released during the capping process.

• Control & Safety Monitoring: Central PLC-based control system housed in a pressurized (Ex p) or Ex d control panel. The system includes continuous monitoring of purge pressure, motor temperature sensors, and gas detection system interlocks (optional). All operator HMI terminals are certified for the intended zone.

Ideal Product Applications & Packaging Formats

• Target Products: Exclusively designed for flammable and combustible liquids: ethyl alcohol (ethanol) for pharmaceutical/sanitizer use, isopropyl alcohol (IPA), methylated spirits, solvent-based antiseptics, certain chemical thinners, and fuel additives.

• Target Containers & Closures: Handles HDPE, PET, and glass containers typical for chemical and pharmaceutical products. Applies plastic (PET) or metal screw caps, often with induction-sealed liners for an additional vapor barrier.

Strategic Business Advantages: Safety as a Competitive Edge

• License to Operate in Regulated Industries: An ATEX/IECEx certified machine is not optional—it is a legal requirement for packaging flammable liquids in most jurisdictions worldwide. This certification is your license to operate, protecting you from catastrophic liability, insurance voids, and regulatory shutdowns.

• Unmatched Risk Mitigation and Asset Protection: By design, this machine prevents the primary cause of industrial fires and explosions in solvent handling areas. It protects your most valuable assets: your employees, your manufacturing facility, and your company’s continuity.

• Global Market Access and Compliance Assurance: ATEX and IECEx are globally recognized standards. This certification simplifies exports to strict markets in the EU, Middle East, Asia, and beyond, as it demonstrates conformity with the highest international safety benchmarks.

• Enhanced Operational Confidence and Productivity: Removing the ever-present risk of ignition allows operators and plant managers to focus on efficiency and quality, not just hazard avoidance. This leads to smoother, more confident, and ultimately more productive operations.

• Future-Proof Investment with Specialized Support: This represents a long-term capital investment in core safety infrastructure. Our support includes specialist Ex equipment technicians, certified spare parts supply chains, and audit support documentation from our global hubs, ensuring your certified equipment remains compliant and operational for its entire lifecycle.
