Filling machines and complete lines for jerrycans, drums and IBCs (totes) — from filling to the wrapped pallet
AiCROV designs and builds weigh filling machines for containers from 1 to 1,500 litres (up to 400 gal) — jerrycans, pails, drums and IBCs — and everything around them: conveyors, palletizers and emptying stations, delivered as one project. Our range goes from a semi-automatic filler that needs only power, air and product, to robotic lines that uncap, fill, cap, seal and palletize with nobody in the filling area. See our semi-automatic filling machines and our automatic filling machines. Founded in 2006 in Tarragona, AiCROV has delivered more than 300 projects for producers of chemicals, petrochemicals and lubricants, agrochemicals, food, fine chemicals and bulk pharma.

More than a filling machine
- Turnkey lines — complete lines from the empty container to the wrapped pallet, with one supplier.
- Intralogistics — conveyors, transfers, turntables and buffers built around the filler.
- Palletizing — the RPE robot palletizer for jerrycans, canisters, bottles and pails, and the PBE automatic drum palletizer.
- Drum and IBC emptying and dosing — the same weighing technology, used to empty containers or dose exact quantities into reactors.
- How we run your project — one project manager, stage gates, an internal test before your FAT, and a site readiness check before installation.
Why AiCROV
Your project is not just another order. Engineering-led and close to you: one technical contact from design to start-up. The same team designs, builds and starts up your machine. In a large group your line would be one order among hundreds; here it gets the attention of the people who designed it.
A process that keeps your project on track. Every order runs through our Project Execution Process: five stages with gates, an internal test before your Factory Acceptance Test, a site readiness check before installation, and a monthly report.
Working wherever our customers need us. Since 2006 we have installed machines on five continents. Local agents, remote assistance and spare parts from globally distributed brands keep them running wherever they are.
Current technology, our own software. Industrial robots, 3D vision and AiCROVFill®, our filling software, which compensates the volume of the submerged lance and automatically compensates for the product still falling after the valve closes, container after container. Filling accuracy equal to the scale division: 20 g on a container scale, 0.1 kg on a drum scale and 0.5 kg on a pallet scale as standard, down to 5 g, 0.05 kg and 0.2 kg with higher-class load cells. Confirmed for each application.
Virtually any industrial liquid. Foaming, viscous, corrosive, flammable. What changes with the product is the nozzle and the materials in contact with it, not the model. Explosion proof version for hazardous areas.
Engineered for the regulations of your country. Every project is reviewed by our engineering team against the regulations that apply where the machine will be installed — CE marking in Europe; requirements such as UL, NFPA, NEC or OSHA in the United States; and the local standards of each country. We design, verify and document the machine accordingly, so it can be commissioned and operated without surprises.
AiCROV around the world
We work for customers on five continents through our own sales team and a network of local agents in key markets, so every project has a contact for the sale and for support after installation.

Latest projects
Some of our most recent filling projects.
Turnkey packaging plant for crop protection — four EL2-E-V jerrycan lines and one robot palletizer, Nutrien, Melbourne, Australia
For a new crop-protection factory in Melbourne, Nutrien wanted a single supplier and one technical contact for the whole packaging plant.
EL2-E filling and capping cell for crop-protection products, run by one operator — Nutrien, Kwinana, Australia
Nutrien’s crop-protection plant in Kwinana needed to fill 10 and 20-litre canisters automatically, with a single operator and no operator handling of the product.
EL2-E-V Filling, Capping and Labelling Line for Acids and Bases — Kersia, Poland
Kersia needed, at its plant in Poland, to fill, cap and label aggressive acids and bases in five canister sizes on one line.
Two Robot Fillers for IBCs and Drums, with Nozzle Cleaning in Place — IFF–Danisco, Iowa, USA
IFF–Danisco’s food-ingredient plant in Iowa needed to fill IBCs and drums at high output, with no operator handling the product.
Robot Filler for peracetic acid — IBCs, drums and jerrycans for Christeyns, Belgium
Christeyns needed to fill peracetic acid, corrosive and prone to foaming, and other acid and alkaline products into IBCs, drums and jerrycans from one line.
SP1 with two scales and a gas extraction hood for aggressive products — Bulgaria
A chemicals producer in Bulgaria needed to fill aggressive products into containers on pallets without stopping between containers and without exposing the operator to fumes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does AiCROV make?
Weigh filling machines for jerrycans, pails, drums and IBCs from 1 to 1,500 litres — semi-automatic, automatic, robotic and complete turnkey lines — plus the conveyors, palletizers and emptying stations around them. Everything is designed and built in Tarragona, Spain.
Which containers can your machines fill?
Jerrycans, bottles and pails from 1 to 30 litres, drums up to 250 litres, and IBCs from 800 to 1,500 litres. Several models fill drums and IBCs on the same pallet.
Which industries do you work for?
Chemicals, petrochemicals and lubricants, agrochemicals and fertilizers, detergents, water treatment chemicals, resins and adhesives, fragrances, food and beverage, fine chemicals and bulk pharma.
Should I choose a semi-automatic or an automatic machine?
It depends on the throughput and on how much handling you want the machine to do. Semi-automatic machines keep an operator at the filling point; automatic machines uncap, fill, cap and seal with nobody in the filling area. Our machine range compares them.
Can your machines fill flammable products?
Yes. Every model is available in an explosion proof version, engineered under the certification scheme of the country of installation. See our ATEX filling machines.
How accurate is weigh filling?
Filling accuracy equal to the scale division: 20 g on a container scale, 0.1 kg on a drum scale and 0.5 kg on a pallet scale as standard, down to 5 g, 0.05 kg and 0.2 kg with higher-class load cells. Confirmed for each application. AiCROVFill® re-checks the settled weight after closing and tops up if the product has settled below the target.
Do you build complete lines?
Yes. We supply turnkey lines with uncapping, filling, capping, labelling, palletizing and wrapping, run as one project with one project manager.
Do you support machines outside Spain?
Yes. We work on five continents, with our own sales team and local agents, with remote assistance, spare parts and maintenance plans. Find your contact.
