Best Pre Roll Cone Filling Machine – The Rollmaster 420

With pre roll cone filling machines, the industry is filled with misinformation. 

It’s symptomatic of a nascent industry that is still figuring it out at a grassroots level. A few of the big players are more tech-savvy, but the small-to-mid-sized operations, including the mom-and-pop shops, are figuring it out as they go along.  One particular point of processing that is costing companies bundles is pre roll cone-filling machines. Cones are challenging to work with, and the process can be time-consuming.

Made of a thin paper, cones are fragile and easy to break. It doesn’t help that many companies are still filling them by hand. Some use various forms of knock boxes, rocket boxes, bump boxes or any other form of volumetric fillers, but the only efficient (and accurate) way to fill cones, is weight-based pre roll cone filling machine.

Based in Oxnard, CA, ActionPac Scales & Automation recently unveiled the RollMaster420, the only weight-based high-precision pre roll cone filling machine designed for any strain of ground cannabis flower. The company recently administered a comparative analysis to show the difference between weight-based and volumetric cone filling.

To put it simply, there is roughly a 20% loss of product due to various sanitation regulations when volumetrically filling.  That’s because the current process causes product to leak out of the cone and get everywhere, forcing you to sweep up and try to fill again. That’s between 3000 to 10,000 grams lost per day assuming you are following regulations.

In addition to significant losses due to leakage, knock boxes or any kind of volumetric filling machines struggle with compliant fills. Many states have tight tolerances, nearly all of them with 3% or better tolerances, ±0.02 g accuracy on ½ g and 1g fills.  This means that every single cone has to be check weighed and reworked.

With Actionpac’s weight-based pre roll cone filling machine, you remove all product loss and you can 100% know what each and every cone weighs.  This is verified through a weight map that shows exactly how much product is in every cone and even after you run the cones through the compacting station there is no product loss.  Watch their video to see what it looks like.   No rework, no check weighing required.

The cone-filling business can be a costly one; however, by embracing ActionPac’s low profile, low cost technology, everyone from the large scale operations to the small mom-and-pop shops stands to benefit.
