Granule filler can dispense and fill granule porducts (includes pure granular product or a mixture of granules and powder) into bottles or sachets. They are commonly used for packaging grain (like coffee bean, nuts, peanut, peas, seeds), tea, or dry spice (mixture of granules and powder).

Measuring method of granule filling machine
Volumetric cup and weighing-based filling system are the most common measuring methods of granule filling machine.
For volumetric cup:
Using adjustable volumetric cups to measure the fixed volume of granular products. Granules fall into the cup from the hopper and when machine run, filled cups discharge granules into the container or pouch.
Volumetric cup granule filler is not suitable for products with uneven density, irregular shapes, fragile texture, high value, or those requiring strict weight control. If the material contains powder, the powder will fill the gaps between the granules, resulting in inconsistent weight under the same volume and increased errors. Volumetric cup filling machines are more suitable for free-flowing, uniform-density bulk granules such as rice and mung beans.
For weighing-based filling system
Machine uses multiple weighing hoppers, each connected to load cells.Granular products are fed into the hoppers through vibrating channels. Control system calculates the best combination of hoppers to reach the target weight. The selected hoppers release granules simultaneously into the container or sachets.
This kind of granule filling machine has higher filling accuracy, independent of product density or shape. It will be more flexible and suitable for irregular or fragile granules such as nuts, snacks, dried fruits, or mixture of powder and granule like dry spice. Normally, the quantity of weighing heads are customizable for improving working speed.
Applicable packaging of granule filling machine
Granular products are commonly packaged into bottles, jars, or sachets to meet different production requirements. ZONESUN offer different kinds of granule filling machine to meet different kinds of production needs.
Pouch/Sachets Filling Sealing Machine
For premade pouches:
We offer pouch filling sealing machine which can finish pouch feeding, pouch opening, granule filling and pouch sealing.Some pouch filling sealing machine suits various sizes of pouches by changing some machine components.
For roll-film bags:
VFFS packaging machine will be recommended for packaging granules into sachets like nut snacks, tea,and beans.VFFS packing machine supports various sealing type like back sides, three sides or four sides sealing.
Bottle/Jar Filling Machine
Linear bottle filling machines can provide higher working speeds, and slight adjustments to certain machine components can suits bottles of different sizes or heights, usually it is no need to replace machine components.
FAQ
Q: How to adjust filling volume for volumetric cup filling machine?
Changing the cup size or cup depth can reach the purpose of changing filling volume. Normally operation can adjust the depth of measuring cup by moving bottom plate to control the cup depth. Another way is chaging cup sets. When the filling capacity varies greatly, interchangeable cup sets will be offered to meet production needs.
Q: Can it be used for mixture of dry spice?
Actually this depends on your dry spice. Normally we will recommend that you use mixing machine to mix original material, check the mixture first after mixing. If the mixture contains a high proportion of coarse or chunky materials, we suggest weighing-based granule filling machine. If the mixture has only a small proportion of coarse materials but a higher proportion of powder, then auger filling machine will be better.
