Vicanpack granule packing machines cover small retail packs, premade pouches, cans, and larger bags for products such as rice, beans, seeds, sugar, salt, nuts, candy, pet food, ice cubes, and other granular materials. Depending on the product and pack weight, the machine can use a volumetric cup, linear weigher, or multihead weigher for dosing.
The range includes vertical baggers, doypack machines, can filling and seaming equipment, and automatic granule packaging machines for heavier packs. Granule packing machine price varies with the weighing system, bag or container type, packing weight, speed, and added functions such as nitrogen filling, coding, conveying, or checkweighing. Vicanpack configures the machine around the actual product and package instead of using one setup for every application.
Granule Packing Machine for Small Bags, Pouches and Bulk Packs
Vicanpack granule packing machines cover small retail bags, premade pouches and larger bulk packs. They handle rice, beans, grains, sugar, salt, seeds, coffee beans, nuts, candy and other dry granular products.
The machine setup changes with the filling weight and bag. A 50 g seasoning pack needs a different weighing and feeding setup from a 10 kg grain bag, even when both products flow well.
Choose the Machine by Bag Format
Roll Film Bags
For pillow bags, back-seal bags and gusset bags, an automatic granule packaging machine can form the bag from roll film, measure the product, fill it and seal the pack.
A typical setup combines a feeder, weighing unit and VFFS machine. This format suits continuous production of rice, beans, sugar, salt, seeds and similar products.
Premade Pouches
Stand-up pouches and zipper bags require a premade pouch machine rather than a standard VFFS machine.
The machine opens each finished pouch, receives the measured product and seals the pouch opening. Nuts, coffee beans, candy and other retail products often use this package format.
Large Granule Bags
Packing several kilograms per bag needs a larger weighing hopper, discharge path and bagging platform.
For rice, grains, beans, pet food and similar bulk products, Vicanpack can configure machines for larger filling weights according to the bag dimensions and required output.
How Does a Granule Packing Machine Measure Product?
The dosing method has a direct effect on weight control and machine cost.
Volumetric cups suit many uniform products such as rice, sugar and salt when their density stays relatively stable.
Linear weighers work with grains, beans, seeds and other regular granules where the customer wants weight-based dosing.
Multihead weighers suit products with more variation in individual piece size or weight. They calculate several hopper combinations before releasing the selected portion.
There is no reason to pay for a complex weighing system when a simple product does not need it. The target weight tolerance should decide the setup.
What Determines Granule Packing Machine Price?
There is no useful single granule packing machine price without knowing the product and package.
The main cost differences come from:
- Filling weight range
- Bag width and length
- Roll film or premade pouch
- Volumetric or weighing system
- Required bags per minute
- Number of weighing heads
- Z-type elevator or other feeder
- Date coder and nitrogen filling
- Checkweigher or metal detector
- Large-bag or special sealing structure
For example, a basic volumetric VFFS setup costs differently from a multihead-weigher line with product feeding, nitrogen filling and inspection equipment.
When comparing quotations, check what equipment each supplier includes. A lower machine price may exclude the feeder, weigher, discharge conveyor or coding unit that the line actually needs.
Which Granules Can the Machine Pack?
Common applications include:
- Rice and grains
- Beans and lentils
- Sugar and salt
- Seeds
- Coffee beans
- Nuts and peanuts
- Candy
- Dry food ingredients
- Pet food
- Fertilizer and other free-flowing granules
Product size still matters. Fine salt can use a much smaller discharge path than large beans. Fragile products may need shorter drops, while dusty granules may need extra control around the filling area.
What Affects Packing Speed?
Bag speed depends on the complete packing cycle, not only the vertical machine.
Large filling weights take longer to measure and discharge. Long bags require more film movement. A slow product feeder can leave the weighing hopper waiting for material.
Actual output depends on:
Product feeding → Weighing → Product discharge → Bag forming → Sealing
Vicanpack checks these steps together when matching the machine to the required bags per minute.
What Do We Need Before Recommending a Machine?
Send:
- Product name and photo
- Filling weight
- Bag style
- Bag dimensions
- Roll film or premade pouch
- Required bags per minute
- Target weight tolerance
If you already have film or bag samples, send them with the product details. This helps confirm the bag width, sealing structure and suitable weighing system before quotation.
Granule Packing Machine FAQs
What is a granule packing machine?
A granule packing machine measures dry granular products and packs them into bags or pouches. Depending on the model, it can form bags from roll film or fill ready-made pouches.
How much does a granule packing machine cost?
The price depends on the weighing system, bag format, filling weight, production speed and optional equipment. A complete quotation should state whether feeders, weighers, conveyors and coding equipment come with the machine.
Which machine is suitable for rice, beans and grains?
For roll-film bags, a VFFS machine with volumetric cups, a linear weigher or a multihead weigher can handle these products. The required weight tolerance and packing speed determine the measuring system.
Can one automatic granule packaging machine pack different weights?
Yes, within its working range. Operators can change the target weight and bag length through the machine settings, while large changes in bag width may require another bag former.
Can Vicanpack supply the feeding and weighing equipment together?
Yes. Vicanpack can match product elevators, weighers, packing machines and discharge conveyors according to the product, filling weight and workshop layout.
