Vicanpack granule filling machines measure and fill free-flowing products such as rice, sugar, coffee beans, tea leaves, seeds, nuts, candy, pet food, and dry snacks. Depending on the product size, density, and target weight, the machine can work with a multihead weigher, linear weigher, or volumetric cup system. It supports bottles, jars, cans, tins, and other rigid containers.

For continuous production, an automatic granule filling machine can connect with container feeding, capping or can seaming, labeling, coding, and checkweighing equipment. Vicanpack also supplies a complete granule filling line based on your product, fill weight, container size, required speed, and downstream packing process.

Vicanpack granule filling machines measure and fill free-flowing solid products into bottles, cans, jars, cups and other rigid containers. They suit products such as rice, beans, coffee beans, nuts, seeds, candy, sugar, salt, dried fruit, pet food and similar granules.

The right machine starts with the product itself. Granule size, shape, weight, flow and filling quantity all affect the dosing method. Vicanpack can supply a standalone filler or build an automatic granule filling line with container feeding, capping, sealing, labeling and downstream packing equipment.

Granules differ in shape and density, so one dosing system does not fit every product.

Multihead Weigher

A multihead weigher works well with nuts, candy, coffee beans, dried fruit, snacks and other products that need weight-based dosing. Multiple weighing heads calculate combinations and release the target portion into the container.

Linear Weigher

Linear weighers suit many regular granular products and moderate production speeds. They often handle grains, beans, seeds and similar materials.

Volumetric Cup Filler

Volumetric cups measure products by volume rather than weight. They work well with uniform, free-flowing granules such as rice, sugar, salt and some grains when the product density stays relatively stable.

Vicanpack chooses the dosing unit according to the actual material instead of selecting it only from the required filling weight.

A granule filling machine can handle many dry solid products, including:

• Rice, beans and grains
• Coffee beans
• Nuts and cashews
• Seeds
• Sugar and salt
• Candy and gummies
• Dried fruit
• Pet food
• Tea leaves
• Small food pieces and dry ingredients

Irregular, fragile or mixed products need more attention during feeding. For example, mixed nuts require weight control, while fragile products may need lower drop heights to reduce breakage.

An automatic granule filling machine can run with a conveyor that positions each container below the filling outlet. Sensors control container arrival and product discharge while the conveyor moves the filled containers to the next process.

For factories that need more than filling, Vicanpack can connect the equipment into a complete granule filling line:

Container Feeding → Granule Weighing → Filling → Capping or Sealing → Labeling → Coding → Collection

Depending on the container, the line can use:

• Bottle unscramblers
• Multihead or linear weighers
• Cup filling systems
• Screw or press capping machines
• Can seamers
• Cup sealing machines
• Labeling machines
• Date coders
• Checkweighers
• Case packing equipment

A bottle line and a cup filling line may handle the same granules, but they need different container feeding and closing machines.

Machine speed does not depend only on the number of weighing heads.

Large filling weights take longer to discharge than small portions. Irregular products may need more weighing time. A narrow bottle opening can also slow product transfer even when the weighing system works quickly.

Actual output depends on:

• Product size and flow
• Target filling weight
• Container opening
• Dosing method
• Number of filling stations
• Capping or sealing speed
• Required weighing tolerance

For this reason, Vicanpack checks the complete product and container combination before recommending machine speed.

A granule filling machine can handle several bottle, jar or can sizes when they stay within its adjustment range.

Operators can change conveyor guides, container positioning and filling height for different formats. Large differences in container diameter or opening size may require replacement funnels or other change parts.

If your factory runs several products, send all container drawings before confirming the machine. This gives a more realistic usable range than selecting equipment from one sample bottle.

These two terms often refer to different package formats.

A granule filling machine normally doses products into rigid containers such as bottles, cans, jars or cups.

A granule packing machine usually packs the product into flexible packaging such as pillow bags, premade pouches or sachets.

If you need both formats in one factory, Vicanpack can configure separate filling and packing sections around the same product.

For machine selection, provide:

1. Product name and photos
2. Granule size and shape
3. Filling weight or volume
4. Container type and dimensions
5. Container opening diameter
6. Cap, lid or sealing type
7. Required containers per minute
8. Number of products and container sizes

A short product video or physical sample also helps us choose the weighing and feeding method.

What is a granule filling machine?

A granule filling machine measures dry solid products such as grains, nuts, candy or coffee beans and dispenses them into bottles, cans, jars, cups or similar containers.

Which filling system works best for granules?

It depends on the product. Multihead weighers suit many irregular or mixed products, while volumetric cups work well with uniform free-flowing granules. Linear weighers cover many regular granular products.

Can Vicanpack build a complete automatic granule filling line?

Yes. Vicanpack can connect weighing and filling equipment with container feeding, capping, can seaming, cup sealing, labeling, coding and case packing according to the production process.

Can the same machine fill different granules?

Yes, when the products fit the machine's weighing and feeding range. Products with large differences in size, density or flow may need different weighing settings, hoppers or feeding parts.
