R&R - Aerosol Propellants and Propellant Filling Machines
R&R Aerosol Systems specializes in the design, manufacture, and installation of comprehensive aerosol production lines. Their range includes propellant filling machines designed for both liquid and compressed gas propellants. Liquid propellant systems often involve configurations suitable for LPG and require safety compliance with ATEX Zone II/2G, typically involving external mounting in a 'Gas House'. Compressed gas systems use inert gases like air, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide, meeting ATEX Zone II/3G standards. These versatile machines can be integrated into filling machines, featuring either in-line or rotary indexing to handle single or multiple aerosol containers per cycle. Additionally, R&R provides auxiliary machines like the Aerosol Overcap Placer and Aerosol Actuator (Button) Placer, both employing rotating turrets for precise cap and actuator placement over aerosol containers. Their equipment is widely used by blue-chip clients, underscoring their reliability and technical proficiency in the aerosol production industry.
R&R - Aerosol Actuator Button Placer Machine
The Aerosol Actuator Button Placer Machine features a dual-level rotating turret that effectively loads actuators from a queue and places them on aerosol containers transported via a conveyor system. Utilizing shaped tooling and pneumatic mechanisms, this machine ensures actuators are securely pressed onto aerosol valves. The turret system then transfers the containers back onto the transport conveyor. The machine also includes a button elevator that moves buttons from a floor-level hopper up to a rotary button sorter positioned at the machine's top. Sensors are in place to maintain a proper queue of buttons, ensuring continuous operation. Additionally, the machine is equipped with its own control panel and operator interface, providing a complete, user-friendly solution for aerosol actuator placement.
R&R - Aerosol Overcap Placer
The Aerosol Overcap Placer consists of a two-level rotating turret designed to effectively handle and position overcaps onto aerosol containers. The machine takes caps from a queue and places them over containers transferred from a transport conveyor using shaped tooling and pneumatic systems. The turret mechanism then returns the capped containers to the transport line. Additionally, the system features a cap elevator that loads buttons from a hopper into a rotary cap sorter, which feeds the caps into the machine via an air-operated chute. Adjustable sensors are integrated to maintain the cap queue and orientation, accommodating different cap sizes and styles. The unit includes a control panel and operator interface for ease of use. This specialized equipment is essential for efficient and precise aerosol production line operations.

R&R - Manual Aerosol Filling Machine for Entry-Level Production
R&R Aerosol Systems offers a range of semi-automatic aerosol filling machines designed for entry-level production needs. These machines require an operator to load and unload the aerosol containers while the process operations are managed through a compact PLC/HMI system. Featuring single head fillers that incorporate product filling, crimping, propellant filling, and leak detection, the machines can be either bench-style or free-standing based on client specifications. All models are equipped with comprehensive guarding, door-interlocked sensors, and emergency stop circuits ensuring operator safety. Capable of handling variable container types and fill volumes, these machines operate at speeds of 5 to 10 containers per minute depending on manual handling efficiency and product specifications.
Aerosol Machines - Aerosol Testing Equipment
R&R - Aerosol Crimp-Checker Machine
The Aerosol Crimp-Checker from R&R Aerosol Systems is designed to verify the integrity of crimped valves on aerosol containers before they move on to processes such as propellant filling or pressurization. The machine primarily handles tinplate aerosol containers or those with a defined upper shoulder. For other materials like aluminum and plastic, a Full-Body Crimp Checker is needed. The Crimp Checker is ATEX Zone II/2G compliant, ensuring suitability for hazardous environments. Essential for high-viscosity products like paints and glues, it helps prevent faulty cans from reaching the gassing stage, which could cause significant production delays and cleanup efforts due to propellant leaks. Failed containers are managed by reject mechanisms that need regular inspection to avoid overfilling.
R&R - Burst Pressure Testing and Aerosol Test Bath
R&R Aerosol Systems provides an aerosol test bath designed with a continuously rotating turret mechanism that transfers aerosol containers from a conveyor to a series of holding clips on a chain. This chain then moves the aerosols through a temperature-regulated water trough, known as an aerosol waterbath, ensuring that each container is immersed for a minimum of 3 minutes to reach a temperature of 50°C. The system is equipped with air knives to remove residual water before returning the aerosols to the conveyor. The water trough is designed to withstand violent failures and includes features for lifting the aerosols out for maintenance and cleaning. Additionally, the bath uses a closed loop heating system that prevents contaminants from entering the heating system. It can be heated using various external sources like electricity, gas, or steam, and is typically built to comply with ATEX Zone II/2G regulations (classification Zone 1).
R&R - Aerosol Checkweigher Machine
The Aerosol Checkweigher Machine accurately weighs aerosol containers and classifies them based on predefined parameters within the PLC/HMI system. It removes containers that do not meet the specified weight tolerance. The machine is designed to handle various process speeds and container diameters. An indexing machine can weigh containers with up to ±0.1 gram accuracy at 120 containers per minute but requires changeparts for different diameters. Alternatively, a chain drive checkweigher processes up to 300 containers per minute for diameters from Ø45mm to Ø65mm without needing changeparts but with slightly less accuracy. Machines are constructed to comply with ATEX Zone II/3G regulations and can be adapted for Zone II 2G environments. Regular inspection of the Bin and Reject conveyor is needed to ensure they do not overfill.
R&R - Aerosol Leak Detector for Micro-Leak Detection
The aerosol leak detector by R&R Aerosol Systems is a precise micro-leak detection tool designed to conform with FEA guidelines and BAMA recommendations. It ensures rigorous testing of aerosol containers using various gases such as compressed air, nitrogen, CO2, and other inert gases. The detection process involves enclosing the aerosol valve and crimp area, or the entire container, in a vacuum chamber to identify any leakage. This is achieved by testing to an adjustable setpoint and marking containers that do not meet the ADR 2007 leak rate requirement of no greater than 2.0 x 10^-3 mbar.l.s^-1 at 20°C. This detector supports a wide range of materials and shapes, making it versatile for different aerosol containers. Additional features include an integrated or stand-alone crimp-checker for verifying valve quality, a burst pressure testing machine with a rotating turret system for water trough immersion, and a visual recognition system that checks packing integrity.
