After the waterbath the cans move to the cap fitting. The machine places white caps to the cans and then presses them in place. The machine works pneumatically.

Pamasol Willi Mäder AG is a Swiss aerosol company founded in 1965 by Willi Mäder. The firm has specialized in filling and sealing machines for aerosols and spray systems.

Taerosol Oy is a finnish firm manufacturing technical aerosols for electronics and industries. They have three aerosol series, PRF, CarEvi and First1 - product families for industry and professionals but also for consumer usage.

Sounds come from manufacturing cleaning sprays. The process includes 7 phases. At first, the valve feeding machine feeds the pipes to empty cans that move in the transport belt to the product filler. Since the cleaning spray doesn’t need any active gases, only chosen propellant is added. The product filler adds the pipes and the gases and secures the velves at the same machine. After that, the cans move to the waterbath for testing and then to the cap fitting. The labels are taped, the extra pipes are added and then cans are packed to boxes and the boxes are taped.
There are strict security measurements in aerosol production and for example the warehouses need to be in an explosion proof room.
