The AILE AL-BOV-A is a compact, bench-style semi-automatic Bag-on-Valve (BOV) filling and crimping machine designed for laboratory formulation, pilot batches, and small-to-medium commercial production. Integrating under-the-cap gas charging & crimping with positive displacement liquid dosing on a unified stainless steel workstation, it allows a single operator to achieve continuous packaging with zero changeover tooling required.
Delivering a stable working output of 500–700 cans/hour (8–12 cans/min), the system uses clean compressed air or nitrogen (N2) as the propulsive medium, completely isolating high-value active ingredients inside a laminated pouch. Controlled by a Siemens PLC and responsive touchscreen, it features a secondary multi-stroke filling mode for high-capacity containers (up to 550ml+). Built with sanitary SUS316L fluid contact pathways for pharmaceutical and cosmetic purity.
Core Machine Highlights:
• Integrated 2-in-1 Workstation: Left Station for Vacuum/Under-the-Cap Gassing & Sealing; Right Station for Through-the-Valve Dosing
• Production Throughput: 500–700 cans/hour (One-operator setup)
• Dosing Flexibility: Single-stroke up to 280 ml (equipped with repeat dosing logic for large cans)
• Tooling Advantage: Fits Ø35–70 mm diameter and 100–270 mm height without swapping starwheels or molds
• Sanitary Execution: Full SUS304 body casing with SUS316L fluid contact components
• Premium Electronics: Siemens PLC & HMI, Schneider air breaker, SMC / AirTAC pneumatics
The AILE AL-BOV-A solves the barrier of entry for Bag-on-Valve packaging. While large-scale factories deploy fully automatic BOV filling lines, this semi-automatic system gives emerging producers the same pharmaceutical-grade barrier protection at a fraction of the capital cost.

Fits can diameters from Ø35mm to Ø70mm without replacing costly molds. Height is dialed in rapidly using an ergonomic manual handwheel.
Equipped with repeat-stroke automation on the touchscreen to fill high-capacity pouches (e.g. 400ml–500ml) without sacrificing dosing precision.
All fluid pathway parts, dosing pistons, and nozzles are machined from certified SUS316L stainless steel, resistant to corrosion and acid formulations.
Eliminates the danger of flammable hydrocarbons. Powered simply by standard single-phase 220V power and an industrial air compressor.
