Granule packing machine guide: sugar, rice, beans, seeds and pellets

How granule packing and filling machines dose free-flowing granules by volumetric cups, linear or multihead weighers into bags, sticks, jars and cans.

Short answer: Free-flowing granules — sugar, salt, rice, beans, seeds, pet food and plastic pellets — are dosed by volumetric cups when density is stable, or by linear or multihead weighers when accuracy matters more. A granule VFFS machine forms the bag; multi-lane machines make sticks; weighing fillers dose into jars and cans.

Cup or weigher?

Volumetric cups are simple and fast; adjust the cup volume to the target weight. If bulk density varies between batches (rice, beans, pellets), a weigher avoids overfilling. See weigher vs auger vs cup.

Compact machines for small businesses

The 450K stands about 1.1 × 0.8 m and runs on single-phase power — a common first “small bagging machine” for spice shops, pet food and seed packers.

Questions and answers

What machine packs sugar into small bags?

A granule VFFS machine with volumetric cups, such as the 450K, or a multi-lane stick machine for sugar sticks.

Do I need a weigher for rice and beans?

For accurate retail weights with variable density, a linear or multihead weigher is recommended.

Can granules be filled into jars?

Yes, with a weighing or cup filler such as the KA or KGZ10.

How fast is a granule packing machine?

Our granule VFFS machines list 20–40 or 10–50 bags per minute depending on model and bag size.
