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

Weigh filling lines by pack format: pouches, bags, jars and tubs.
Start with the finished pack when the container or pouch format is the main reason the machine route is uncertain.
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
- Pouches and bags may require opening, forming, sealing, coding and discharge control.
- Jars and tubs may need filling, settling, capping or lidding, induction sealing and labelling.
- Rigid containers and flexible packs need different handling, footprints and operator workflows.

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
Pack-format weigh filling line questions.
Straight answers to help you choose the right filling route before requesting advice.
Should I choose the filler or pack format first?
Start with both together. Pack shape, closure, seal style and discharge method can change the practical filler route.
Can weigh fillers be integrated with capping and labelling?
Yes. Weigh filling can be supplied as a standalone station or considered as part of a wider line with closing, sealing, labelling and coding.
What pack details should I provide?
Send dimensions, material, fill opening, closure or seal style, target weight, output and any existing machine connection points.
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.
