Aerosol Fillers for Automotive Lubricants, Cleaners, Paints and other Sprays
Accommodating the full range of light and foamy to semi-viscous automotive aerosol products requires versatile automotive filling equipment, which is why Pacific is the choice of numerous leading automotive manufacturers and contract packagers. Our automotive lubricant filling equipment is ideal for filling aerosol cans with products such as cleaners, lubricants, and paints.
For high-production-speed applications, Pacific’s timed-orifice rotary automotive filling system provides the flexibility to accommodate a wide range of product viscosities and container sizes. The flexibility in Pacific’s rotary liquid filler is a result of our Variable Rate of Product Flow manifold, standard on our timed-orifice arrangement. Like every Pacific filler, we maintain exceptional accuracy, which is critical for automotive lubricant fillers, as these products are often quite expensive. The accuracy savings over your current filling system will often justify the project return on investment.
For high-speed applications that don’t require a wide viscosity range, where accuracy is the most critical factor, our flow meter automotive filling equipment is a proven solution with excellent performance. Although flow meter-based systems are extremely accurate, they cannot be arranged with our Variable Rate of Flow system. Consequently, they do not offer the same price performance per station as the timed-orifice solution.
For slower-speed applications, we provide inline machines that utilize volumetric pump or flow meter filling technology. Our patented top-fill nozzles with displacement-style automatic shutoff valves or diving nozzles with laminar flow screens at the point of discharge provide accuracy and good production capacity for non-foamy liquids.
Many of our customers also fill foamy products, such as windshield washer fluid or diesel additives, on the same automotive filling system. If this is a current or future requirement, we can arrange the filling system with our bottom-up fill, positive shutoff nozzles. The bottom-up fill nozzle arrangement offers increased production on fewer stations compared to competing fillers.
For applications where zero drip is required, we incorporate a nozzle-based vacuum system into both our top-fill and bottom-up fill nozzles.
All of our automotive lubricant filling equipment is constructed from 304SS, with options available in 316 and titanium stainless steel for hazardous, explosion-proof environments. Our filling machines are designed for Clean-in-Place washing and require minimal maintenance.

Light to Semi-Viscous Filling Fillers for Automotive Lubricants, Oils, Additives and more
Accommodating the full range of light to semi-viscous automotive products requires versatile automotive filling equipment, which is why Pacific is the choice of numerous leading automotive manufacturers and contract packagers. Our automotive filling systems can handle everything from foamy additives and windshield wiper fluids to heavy oils and transmission fluids.
For high-production-speed applications, Pacific’s timed-orifice rotary automotive lubricant filling equipment provides the flexibility to accommodate a wide range of product viscosities and container sizes. The flexibility in Pacific’s rotary liquid filler comes from our Variable Rate of Product Flow manifold, standard on our timed-orifice arrangement. Like every Pacific filler, we maintain exceptional accuracy, which is critical for automotive filling equipment, especially when dealing with high-value products. Often, the accuracy savings over your current filling system will justify the project's return on investment.
If your high-speed application does not require a wide viscosity range and accuracy is the primary concern, our flow meter automotive filling systems are proven solutions with excellent performance. While flow meter-based systems are extremely accurate, they cannot be arranged with our Variable Rate of Flow system. Consequently, they do not offer the same price performance per station as the timed-orifice solution.
For slower-speed applications, we offer inline and drum automotive filling equipment that utilizes volumetric or flow meter filling technology.

Viscous filling: supplying time-orifice viscous rotary filling which is the ideal solution for major manufacturers.
The most common viscous automotive products include grease, wax, and hand cleaners. Where higher production speeds are required, Pacific’s timed-orifice viscous rotary automotive filling equipment is the ideal solution, with installations at major manufacturers such as Exxon-Mobil, Citgo Petroleum, and BG Products. The proven design, which originated when the company was founded in 1962, remains our most simple yet accurate automotive lubricant filler system.
The keys to filling viscous products are (1) being able to move the product easily and consistently, (2) maintaining low-pressure operation throughout the automotive filling system, and (3) placing the product into the container without aeration pockets.
Pacific solves these design challenges by integrating a positive displacement pump that operates at a constant speed with our rotary timed orifice. The timed-orifice manifold is custom-designed to maintain low-pressure flows to our bottom-up fill nozzles. The nozzle technology is also custom-designed for special flow rates, ensuring the container is always in the proper position relative to the product flow, thanks to our camming system.
Versatile and flexible, Pacific’s viscous automotive lubricant filling equipment is customized to accommodate a wide range of filling systems. These systems are designed to accurately fill various container sizes, across a range of speeds, with minimal changeover time.
For slower-speed requirements, we also provide inline and drum automotive filling machines that utilize volumetric pump or flow meter filling technology. Whether an inline or rotary filler is best for your production speeds, we arrange the automotive lubricant filling system with our bottom-up fill open flow nozzles.
Our viscous fillers do not require a supply tank, and the pump can be directly fed from your supply system. Special bypass and load balancing systems are incorporated into each pump to facilitate constant flow.
All of our automotive filling equipment is constructed from 304SS materials. The filling machines are designed for Clean-in-Place washing and can be arranged for hazardous explosion-proof environments if necessary.
