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

Tub filling by weight
Fill tubs and rigid containers by weight using a route matched to product flow and container handling.
Planning the right weigh filling route
Tubs and rigid containers can be stable for filling, but the opening size, rim, fill height and closure route still affect machine choice.
Dry products may be dosed using linear weighers, multihead weighers, auger fillers or gross-weigh systems depending on product and output.
If the line includes lidding, capping or labelling, the conveyor and transfer route should be planned from the start.
Key buying checks
- Confirm tub diameter and usable opening.
- Check fill height and product presentation.
- Plan lidding or closure after filling.
- Review conveyor stability and accumulation.
Routes to compare
Machine options to shortlist.
Tub filling by weight should match the filler to the container and downstream closure route.
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 tub filling by weight?
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 tub filling by weight?
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.
