Volumetric Cup Filler — Consistent Small-Batch Filling for Granules and Pellets

1. Ideal for small bags and small-lot production of granular materials

Our volumetric cup filler is widely used by food manufacturers handling coffee beans, tea leaves, spices, seasonings, and other granular or pellet-type materials.

The key feature is that it does not use a load cell.
Instead, it measures by volume, similar to measuring rice with a fixed-size cup.
This allows the machine to reproduce the same volume accurately and consistently.


2. Simple volumetric mechanism that minimizes filling variation

The cup volume can be adjusted easily by hand, and no specialized skills are required.

Many users appreciate that:

  • Anyone can achieve consistent filling accuracy
  • Changeovers are quick and stress-free
  • No complex calibration is needed compared to weight-based systems

Because there is no load cell, issues such as vibration interference or gradual buildup affecting measurement are avoided.
As a result, the system minimizes variation and maintains stable filling performance.


Additional Option: Screw feeders for powder applications

Today’s article focuses on a cup filler for granular materials.
However, if you need stable and accurate feeding of powders, our screw feeder lineup is also widely used.

For fine powders or materials with poor flowability, a screw feeder may be a better solution.

3. A perfect solution for small-lot, multi-variety production

In the food industry, small batches, daily changeovers, and frequent test production are becoming more common.

The volumetric cup filler is an excellent match for these situations due to:

  • Fast changeovers
  • Consistent results regardless of operator
  • Stable accuracy with granular materials

This makes it especially useful for small and mid-sized food manufacturers.
