THE CAPACITY GAP
Canadian producers running out of filling capacity have three options.
Two are bad.
3
NA suppliers above 200/hr
Most Canadian plants source from a handful of US dealers who don’t easily cross the border, or from European OEMs with no local presence. Neither is ideal when the line is down.
±1 YR
Direct-from-Europe lead time
Customs, shipping, hazardous location review, CSA field evaluation, on-site commissioning. Every step adds time when there’s no one in-country coordinating.

Canadian AiCROV supplier
Link Pack sells, installs and services AiCROV filling systems from Montreal: bilingual support, Canadian parts inventory, 24-hour on-site response anywhere from Vancouver to Halifax.
INDUSTRIES SERVED
Add stations. Not lines.
Most automatic drum fillers are sold as fixed-capacity machines. You buy the throughput you need today and hope you don’t outgrow it. When you do, the line gets replaced. AiCROV designs around a different assumption: that your production volume will change. Each filling station is an independent module on a shared control architecture. Add stations to scale up. Reconfigure for a new container format. Move from drums to IBCs to FIBCs on the same platform.

Questions buyers ask us
Specifications, throughput, certification, lead times.
The questions most frequently asked by production managers, plant engineers and procurement teams in Canada.
How many drums per hour can an automatic drum filling machine produce?
A single-station automatic drum filler produces 60 to 165 containers per hour depending on container size and product viscosity. AiCROV’s modular platform scales through additional filling stations: up to 400 drums per hour with 4 stations, and up to 1,000 containers per hour on multi-station configurations. Above 4 stations, throughput is limited by available floor space, not by the equipment.
Throughput above 4 stations is limited by available floor space, not by the equipment.
Is AiCROV CSA-certified for Canadian installation?
AiCROV machines are ATEX-configured for European hazardous location standards. They are not CSA-certified out of the box. For installation in a Canadian plant subject to hazardous location requirements, CSA field evaluation is required — and Link Pack coordinates it.

How accurate is net weight filling on AiCROV systems?
AiCROV’s AicrovFill® net weight filling algorithm achieves precision up to 5 grams — the industry-leading spec for large-format containers.
It is measured at the container level, independent of container size. For a 200-liter drum, that translates to ±0.0025% accuracy. AiCROV’s PID control saves approximately 15% filling time compared to conventional gross-fill/fine-fill systems while holding the same precision.
Can the same machine fill drums, IBCs and FIBCs?
Yes, on the Plug & Fill and Compact series. The SP1, SP2 and SP25 systems are specifically designed to fill containers from 20L drums up to 1500L rigid IBCs and flexible FIBC bags, directly on pallet.
Advanced series machines can also be configured for multi-container compatibility, though dedicated lines are recommended above 200 containers per hour. Canister filling (2 to 20 L) is handled by the EL1-E and LSG models.
What is ATEX certification and when is it required?
ATEX is the European directive covering equipment designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres — typically required when handling flammable liquids, solvents, alcohols or volatile hydrocarbons.
ATEX is the European directive covering equipment designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres — typically required when handling flammable liquids, solvents, alcohols or volatile hydrocarbons.
What’s the typical lead time on an AiCROV filling system?
Standard lead time is 4 to 6 months from purchase order to commissioning. This includes manufacturing in Tarragona, Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) at AiCROV, shipping to Canada, CSA field evaluation coordinated by Link Pack, on-site installation, and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) at your plant.
Custom configurations, complex multi-station Advanced builds, or full turnkey lines may extend lead time.
Can AiCROV systems handle viscous products like honey, glucose, paints or heavy lubricants?
Yes. AiCROV configures specialized dosing lances for viscous and semi-viscous products including honey, glucose syrups, greases, gear oils, paints, adhesives and heavy lubricants. Over-bunghole filling mode is available for extremely viscous products that don’t require insertion.
Proportional fine filling adjusts flow characteristics from the control panel, allowing the same system to handle products with varying viscosities without mechanical reconfiguration.
What are dive nozzles and when are they used?
Dive nozzles are filling lances designed to descend below the liquid surface during filling. They are used for foaming, flammable or evaporative products where surface-level filling would create foam, product loss or explosion risk.

What PLC does AiCROV use?
AiCROV supports both Siemens and Allen-Bradley PLC standards — buyer’s choice. Siemens is standard in most European installations; Allen-Bradley (Rockwell) is standard in most North American installations.
Specifying the PLC that matches your existing plant infrastructure means your maintenance team, spare parts inventory and SCADA integration all remain unchanged. Load cells are Laumas across the range.
What’s included in a turnkey filling line from Link Pack?
A turnkey filling line integrates the AiCROV filling machine with all upstream and downstream equipment: container de-palletizing, filling, capping/sealing, labelling, palletising, and stretch wrapping.
Link Pack coordinates equipment specification, project management, single-point commissioning and single-point service across the full line. AiCROV integrates its Advanced series with palletizers, labellers, cappers, sealers and wrapping machines as needed
What financing options are available?
Link Pack offers standard purchase and equipment financing. Through AiCROV, a pay-by-productivity model is also available where equipment cost is tied to production output rather than paid upfront
This can be useful for operations where capital expenditure approval is difficult but operational budget is flexible. Details vary by project size and client profile
What does after-sales service look like in Canada?
Immediate phone troubleshooting from Canadian technicians. 24-hour on-site response anywhere in Canada. Every Link Pack service technician is trained directly by AiCROV at the Tarragona facility.
Common wear parts (filling nozzles, seals, load cell components) are inventoried in Canada — no waiting for Europe. Bilingual (French and English) technical documentation, operator training and on-site service standard.
What does after-sales service look like in Canada?
Link Pack is based in the Montreal area and its engineers and technicians work in French. This covers operation manuals, electrical schematics, PLC interfaces, operator training and phone troubleshooting. Bilingual documentation also supports language compliance in Quebec workplaces.
Where is Link Pack located and does it serve all of Quebec?
Link Pack is based in the Montreal area and serves all of Quebec — from the Outaouais to the North Shore — as well as the rest of Canada.
Technicians are dispatched from Montreal for Quebec, Ontario and Eastern Canada, with regional partners for Western Canada. It is the only supplier in the country that sells, installs and services AiCROV systems locally.
