In many cases, yes—you can fill multiple chemical products on the same machine. If the machine is specified for a range of chemicals, our engineers will select appropriate materials and components to suit those liquids, including any change parts required.

Depending on the products, hoses and seals may need to be changed when switching between certain chemicals. It’s also essential to thoroughly clean all wetted parts with a suitable cleaning agent to avoid cross-contamination between batches.

Machine operators must always be aware of which chemicals the machine was originally specified to handle. If you wish to fill additional products, please consult Universal Filling Machine Company to ensure material compatibility and safe operation.

At Universal Filling Machine Company, we ensure chemical compatibility by combining the expertise of our highly experienced sales team with the knowledge of our in-house design engineers. When you enquire about a chemical filling machine, we take the time to understand the exact nature of the liquid(s) you’re filling—whether it’s corrosive, flammable, viscous, or volatile.

Our engineers will then specify the most suitable machine configuration, including the correct hoses, seals, valves, and other wetted parts, to ensure long-term durability, safety, and performance. If you plan to fill multiple chemicals, we’ll advise on any change parts or cleaning requirements needed to prevent cross-contamination.

Your product’s compatibility is never left to chance—every machine is built to suit the specific chemical(s) you need to fill.

Yes, we offer ATEX-certified filling machines for use in hazardous environments where flammable or explosive vapours may be present. Our ATEX-compliant equipment is designed and built to meet the strict safety requirements of the ATEX Directive (2014/34/EU), making it suitable for filling flammable liquids such as acetone, ethanol, solvents, and other volatile chemicals.

We’ll work closely with you to specify the right machine and ensure all components—electrical and mechanical—are appropriate for your ATEX zone classification. Whether you need a semi-automatic or fully automatic filling system, we can provide a safe and compliant solution tailored to your application.

Our machines are designed to handle a wide range of fill volumes, and with optional change parts, that range can often be extended or fine-tuned for even greater accuracy and speed.

• The Posifill EF and Posifill V-Twin/Four can fill from 5ml to 1.3 litres.

• The P5000 covers 250ml to 5 litres, while the PB5000 handles 500ml to 5 litres. With the Wander Nozzle and Multi-Dose Counter, both the P5000 and PB5000 can both achieve fills up to 50 litres with relative ease.

• The Posimatic EV range offers three configurations: 5ml–1.3 litres, 100ml–2.5 litres, 250ml–5 litres

Depending on your container size and product type, we can often include extra change parts to handle intermediate volumes like 1 litre, 2.5 litres, or 5 litres.

And if your needs change over time, many of these parts can be purchased later—giving your machine the flexibility to grow with your business.

Proper cleaning of chemical filling machines ensures safety, accuracy, and prevents cross-contamination. While procedures vary by chemical and machine type, typical steps include:

• Drain and flush to remove residue.

• Disassemble and clean all wet parts (nozzles, hoses, seals, pistons, etc.) with a suitable cleaning agent.

• Rinse, inspect for wear, and remove any residue.

• Dry, reassemble, and seal components correctly.

Each Universal Filling Machine comes with a tailored manual detailing these steps. Always follow the provided instructions and contact us if you’re unsure about cleaning agents.
