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

Dry product filling machines
Plan dry-product filling equipment by product behaviour, target weight, pack format and line speed.
Planning the right weigh filling route
Dry product filling machines cover a wide range of machinery, including weigh fillers, auger fillers, multihead weighers, linear weighers, pouch fillers and bagging lines. The product behaviour decides the route.
Dry ingredients, granules, coffee, snacks, seeds, pet food and small components can behave very differently even when the target weight looks similar. Good specification starts with sample behaviour and pack dimensions.
Lancing can help UK manufacturers compare standalone fillers with complete line routes where conveyors, sealing, capping, labelling or inspection need to be integrated.
Key buying checks
- Identify if the product is powder, granule, piece or blend.
- Check whether the product breaks, dusts or bridges.
- Compare target output against operator involvement.
- Review future pack sizes before final machine choice.
Routes to compare
Machine options to shortlist.
Dry-product projects should compare the product, pack and line before a machine type is selected.
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 dry product filling machines?
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 dry product filling machines?
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.
