Complete Automatic Granule Filling Line
Depending on the customer’s production requirements, the machine can be configured as an individual weighing and filling unit or as a complete automatic bottle/can packaging line.
The complete line can automatically perform:
Material Loading → Weighing → Filling → Container Handling → Cap/Lid Placing → Sealing → Labeling → Batch Coding / Inkjet Printing
Different equipment configurations can be selected according to the product characteristics, container type, filling range, production capacity and automation requirements.
Accurate Weighing & Filling
The machine uses a multi-head weighing system to achieve reliable and repeatable quantitative filling. Multiple weighing heads operate simultaneously, allowing the system to select suitable weight combinations and achieve the required target filling weight.
The filling system is suitable for a broad range of filling applications, with a typical filling range of:
10–1000 g
The number of weighing/filling heads can be selected according to the required production capacity and product characteristics.
