Linear weigh fillers
Good for moderate outputs, multiple products and controlled dry product dosing.

Pre-made pouch weigh filling
Fill pre-made pouches by weight with a route matched to product, pouch opening and sealing method.
Planning the right weigh filling route
Pre-made pouch filling needs the product dose, pouch opening and closure method to work together. Even a suitable weigher can struggle if the pouch is hard to present or keep open.
Dry products may be filled by linear weigher, multihead weigher or auger depending on product behaviour. The pouch system may be manual, semi-automatic or automatic.
Pouch stability, seal contamination and changeover should be reviewed before the final route is chosen.
Key buying checks
- Check pouch mouth width and gusset style.
- Review product contamination near the seal area.
- Confirm hand-loaded or automatic pouch presentation.
- Plan sealing and coding after filling.
Routes to compare
Machine options to shortlist.
Pouch filling by weight depends heavily on pouch presentation as well as dose accuracy.
Multihead weighers
Useful where speed, accuracy and product combination are central to the project.
View routeAuger fillers
Often compared for powders, fine ingredients and products that need screw dosing.
View routeVFFS weigh lines
For automatic bag forming, weighing, filling and sealing from film reels.

Questions before choosing a weigh filler.
Short answers for production teams comparing dry-product weighing and filling routes.
What information is needed for pre-made pouch weigh filling?
Useful details include the product name, bulk density if known, target fill weight, acceptable tolerance, pack format, output per minute or hour and whether the line must connect to feeding, sealing, capping, labelling or checkweighing equipment.
Which machine type is normally compared for pre-made pouch weigh filling?
Linear weighers, multihead weighers and auger fillers may all be considered depending on product flow, dose size and output target.
Can Lancing help with a complete line rather than a standalone filler?
Yes. Many projects involve product feed, weighing, filling, pack handling, sealing or closing and downstream checking. Sending the full pack route helps avoid choosing a filler that later becomes difficult to integrate.
Send the product, target weight, pack format and output target.
Lancing can advise whether a linear weigher, multihead weigher, auger filler, VFFS line or integrated route is the practical starting point.
