An apparatus for filling a pressurized can is provided that includes a pumping assembly having a piston for driving a liquid into the can. A cabinet encloses the pumping assembly and has a door which provides access to the pumping assembly. A first embodiment of the apparatus includes manual means for driving the pumping assembly such as a lever arm assembly. A second embodiment of the apparatus includes powered means for driving the pumping assembly such as a pneumatic cylinder and means for cycling the pneumatic cylinder. Preferably the cycling means includes a control valve for alternately supplying pneumatic fluid to upper and lower spaces of said pneumatic cylinder and a pair of accumulators for alternating said control valve. A third embodiment of the apparatus includes automatic means for driving the pumping assembly. Preferably, the automatic driving means includes a stroke counter for counting the number of piston cycles and a shut-off valve triggered by said stroke counter to stop cycling of said piston when a predetermined number of piston cycles has been counted. Kits are provided for progressively upgrading the apparatus of the first embodiment to the apparatus of the third embodiment. Therefore, each cabinet is manufactured with means for mounting powered driving means and automatic driving means.
