Linear weigh fillers
For free-flowing granules, beans, seeds, snacks and small components.

Coffee, tea, seed and grain weigh filling machines.
A focused application route for food producers and packers filling beans, tea, seeds, grains, mixes and similar dry products by weight.
Application planning
Start with your product and finished pack. Lancing compares product behaviour, target weight, pack handling and output so the machine shortlist is practical from the start.
A good recommendation balances product behaviour, target fill weight, pack handling, closure or seal method, throughput and how much operator involvement is acceptable.
Key planning points
- Whole beans and seeds often require gentle feeding and repeatable weight control.
- Ground coffee and fine blends may require auger filling or more controlled product presentation.
- Bag, pouch, jar and tin formats affect discharge, sealing, coding and labelling.

View route →| Factor | Why it matters | Useful enquiry detail |
|---|---|---|
| Product behaviour | Determines whether weighing, auger dosing or hybrid feeding is suitable. | Flowability, dust, particle size, fragility, density and product sample availability. |
| Target fill | Changes hopper size, dosing principle, accuracy expectation and output. | Minimum and maximum fill weights plus acceptable tolerance. |
| Pack format | Controls discharge height, filling mouth, closure, sealing and downstream equipment. | Pouch, bag, jar, tub, bottle, box or existing machine interface. |
| Automation level | Defines operator workflow, speed, footprint and integration requirements. | Semi-automatic, compact automatic, full line or staged upgrade route. |
FAQ
Coffee and tea weigh filler questions.
Straight answers to help you choose the right filling route before requesting advice.
What weigh filler suits coffee beans?
Coffee beans often suit linear or multihead weighing, depending on target output, pack weight and required handling.
What about ground coffee?
Ground coffee behaves differently from whole beans and may require auger filling or a dosing route designed around density and flow.
Can one line fill bags and jars?
Sometimes, but format range, changeover method, discharge height and closing equipment need to be reviewed carefully.
Send the product, target weight, pack format and output target.
That gives Lancing enough information to compare a linear weigher, multihead weigher, auger filler or integrated bagging line.
