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

Stand-up pouch weigh filling
Fill stand-up pouches by weight with attention to pouch opening, product drop and seal cleanliness.
Planning the right weigh filling route
Stand-up pouches are popular for retail dry products but require good control of pouch opening and seal area. Product bounce, dust or poor discharge can affect presentation.
Depending on product, the filling route may use a multihead weigher, linear weigher or auger filler. The pack handling route decides how automated the final line can be.
Testing pouch samples with the product is useful before committing to the machine route.
Key buying checks
- Check pouch stability before and after filling.
- Review seal contamination risk.
- Confirm product drop height and bounce.
- Plan manual, semi-auto or automatic pouch loading.
Routes to compare
Machine options to shortlist.
Stand-up pouch projects need the pouch, product and filler considered together.
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 stand-up 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 stand-up 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.
