Particle size
Large, mixed or irregular particles may bridge or affect repeatability.
Granule filling needs the machine to control product flow, fill volume and pack presentation. The right route may be a volumetric cup filler, an auger or a weighing system depending on product flow and accuracy requirements.

Free-flowing granules can often be dosed quickly by volume, but only when the product behaves consistently. Dust, mixed particle sizes, fragile product and variable bulk density need to be considered before specifying the machine.
These checks help Lancing UK narrow the correct filling method, machine format and line layout before quotation.
Large, mixed or irregular particles may bridge or affect repeatability.
Dusty products may need enclosed handling, extraction or alternative dosing.
Decide whether volumetric repeatability is enough or whether weight correction is needed.
The machine needs a clean path from hopper to measuring device and into the pack.
There is rarely one universal filler for every product. The shortlist should compare the practical filling routes against real production conditions.
Best for stable, free-flowing products with repeatable bulk density.
For jars, bottles and tubs where indexing and opening size matter.
For projects where granules need to be paired with bagging or sealing equipment.
| Best-fit products | Beans, seeds, coffee beans, sugar, tablets, small granules |
| Machine routes | Cup dosing, auger comparison, weighing comparison depending on product |
| Important checks | Flow, bulk density, dust, particle size, pack opening, output speed |
| Typical next step | Provide product sample, target fill quantity, pack type and accuracy expectation |

Yes, if the product is free-flowing and has stable bulk density. If the product varies significantly, a weigh-based route may need to be compared.
Some powder products need auger or special feed control rather than cup dosing. The correct route depends on flow, dust and target accuracy.
Yes. It can be integrated with conveyors, container handling, sealing, labelling and coding where the pack format requires it.
Send your product, fill volume, container, throughput target and any downstream equipment needed. Lancing UK will narrow the most practical filling route before quotation.
