Do not treat ATEX as an add-on
If a liquid or filling area is classified as hazardous, the machinery specification must consider electrical protection, pneumatics, earthing, product handling and the working environment from the beginning.
ATEX filling machines
ATEX filling machines for flammable liquids and zoned areas.
Flammable liquid filling should be reviewed against the product, vapour risk and site zoning. Lancing can discuss ATEX filling requirements for solvents, alcohol-based products and other hazardous-area applications.

How to choose the right system.
These notes are written for buyers comparing filling machinery options before requesting a quotation.
Information required before specification
Provide the safety data sheet, container details, fill volume, area classification, production rate and any extraction or site safety requirements. This allows the machinery approach to be reviewed responsibly.
Related line equipment
Capping, labelling, conveyors and control systems may also need consideration when a filling line operates in or near a hazardous area.
Key considerations
What affects the machine specification?
Flammable liquids
Solvents, alcohol-based products and similar materials require review.
Area classification
The site zone and product data guide equipment specification.
Line-wide consideration
Filling, conveyors, capping and controls may all need assessment.
Specialist advice
Discuss product and site requirements before assuming a standard filler is suitable.

FAQ
Common questions.
What does ATEX mean for filling machines?
ATEX relates to equipment and protective systems for potentially explosive atmospheres. The machine and working area must be reviewed together.
Can a standard filler be used for solvents?
Not automatically. Flammable products and zoned environments may require ATEX-rated equipment and site-specific review.
What information is needed for an ATEX enquiry?
A safety data sheet, area classification, fill volume, container details and target output are important starting points.
