Volumetric Cup Filling Machine for Salt, Sugar and Granular Food Products

For manufacturers packaging salt, sugar, grains, seasoning particles and other free-flowing granular products, achieving consistent filling volume and efficient production is essential. Guangzhou Full Harvest Industries Co., Ltd. provides practical filling solutions designed around the characteristics of different products and containers.

Our Volumetric Cup Filling Machine uses adjustable measuring cups to control the filling volume of granular products. It is particularly suitable for free-flowing materials where stable volumetric measurement and continuous automatic filling are required.

How the Volumetric Filling System Works

Unlike filling systems that rely primarily on weighing each portion, a volumetric cup filler determines the filling quantity through a preset cup volume.

The measuring cups are adjusted according to the required filling volume. During operation, the cups are filled with product and then discharged into the containers, providing a simple and efficient filling process.

This working principle makes the machine especially suitable for granular products with relatively stable bulk density.

Suitable Products

The machine can be applied to a wide range of granular and free-flowing food materials, including:

Salt · Granulated Sugar · Seasoning Granules · Rice · Grains · Seeds · Beans · Small Cereals · Other Free-Flowing Granular Foods

For example, when packaging table salt or granulated sugar into cans, jars, bottles, or other containers, the volumetric cup filling system can provide a convenient solution for repeated portion filling.

A Practical Choice for Granular Product Packaging

One advantage of volumetric filling is its straightforward operating principle. The filling volume can be adjusted according to different packaging requirements, allowing manufacturers to handle different product sizes and package specifications.

For products such as sugar and salt, which generally have good flowability, the measuring cup can efficiently complete repeated filling operations and support continuous production.

The machine can also be incorporated into a larger automated packaging line together with equipment such as container unscramblers, conveyors, can sealing machines, capping machines, and labeling machines.

From Filling to Finished Packaging

A complete granular food packaging process can be configured according to the customer's requirements:

Container Feeding → Volumetric Cup Filling → Can Sealing / Capping → Labeling → Finished Product Collection

This type of automated workflow helps reduce manual handling and creates a more organized packaging process for food manufacturers.

Applications Beyond Salt and Sugar

Although salt and granulated sugar are typical applications, the machine is not limited to these two products. Its volumetric filling principle can also be considered for other free-flowing granular materials.

The final configuration can be selected according to the material characteristics, target filling volume, container dimensions, production capacity, and required automation level.
