Small Pouch Granules Packaging Machine
On small-pouch granule production lines, slow manual weighing and packaging, large weight errors, and high labor costs are common pain points. The Small Pouch Granules Packaging Machine automates bag making, feeding, and sealing, achieving a packaging speed of 30 to 80 bags per minute, directly replacing the manual labor of several workers. This model primarily covers a bag size range of 50 to 180 mm in length and 30 to 140 mm in width.

To maintain high output while controlling costs, this machine employs a sophisticated measuring cup feeding process. This process utilizes fixed-volume metal or POM measuring cups for rapid, volumetric dispensing, eliminating the need for complex electronic sensor weighing. Granules fall instantly into the packaging bag under gravity, making it a reliable solution for production lines seeking high economic returns.
What Can Our Small Pouch Granule Packaging Machine Pack?
The Small Pouch Granule Packaging Machine is suitable for handling materials with good flowability, non-stickiness, and uniform particle size. Specific applications include granulated sugar, refined salt, coarse salt, desiccant granules, cat litter, activated carbon granules, detergent granules, and bird feed and lightweight feed pellets. This model is not recommended for irregularly shaped flakes or high-viscosity powders.

Regarding bag type selection, the equipment can support the following mainstream appearance shapes by changing the bag maker.
Back-sealed bag: The packaging bag has a sealing line in the middle of the back, commonly used for supermarket strips or small bags of sugar.
Three-side sealed bag: The three edges of the bag are heat-sealed, resulting in a smooth appearance.
Four-side sealed bag: All four edges are sealed, resulting in a more square and compact overall shape.
Small bag pellet packaging machine accessories
The small bag pellet packaging machine consists of multiple components that work together, and the configuration can be flexibly adjusted according to budget. The system includes a measuring cup turntable for material measurement, with an adjustable telescopic measuring cup as standard. A fixed measuring cup tray can be purchased separately for larger weight variations. A PLC touchscreen controls bag length, temperature, and cutter speed; the interface is intuitive and easy to use. A bag maker folds the roll film into shape; its size is fixed, and different sizes must be purchased separately for different bag widths. For budgets, a basic color mark sensor can be selected, or a thermal transfer coding machine can be added to meet date printing requirements, or a nitrogen filling device can be installed to extend the shelf life of food products.

How much does a Small Pouch Granules Packaging Machine cost?
The standard price range for this equipment is typically between $2,200 and $5,800. The specific reasons for price fluctuations are as follows.
| Physical Configuration Affecting Price | Causes of Price Difference |
| Overall Material | Models with product contact parts in 304 stainless steel and carbon steel frame cost less; fully 304 stainless steel construction raises price by around 15%-20%. |
| Brand Components | Standard ordinary electric parts come at lower cost; customized configuration with Siemens PLC and Schneider contactors will lift hardware expenses. |
| Optional Functional Accessories | Basic package includes main machine and one set of dosing cups; each extra fitting such as coding printer, continuous cutting blade, nitrogen filling valve or conveyor belt adds extra cost ranging from 200 to 800 US dollars. |
Success Story
A small to medium-sized coffee factory in Chile introduced a Machrise measuring cup granule packaging machine in 2024 for packaging 10-gram packets of white sugar. Previously, the factory relied on a semi-automatic benchtop scale and manual bagging, with a production rate of only 12 packets per minute. After switching to this automated equipment, connected to a 220V power supply and equipped with composite film rolls, the dispensing speed steadily increased to 55 bags per minute. Thanks to the uniform physical density of crystalline sugar, the volumetric error of the measuring cup is controlled within ±0.2g. Customer feedback indicates the equipment has run continuously for 18 months, requiring only periodic replacement of the Teflon tape on the cutter and heat-sealing strip; the transmission system experienced no downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the grammage error of the measuring cup dispensing and packaging machine?
A: For free-flowing materials such as granulated sugar and salt, volume is directly proportional to weight, and the error is typically controlled within ±1% to ±2%. If the material itself is of varying sizes or prone to moisture and clumping, the error will increase.
Q: Can one machine package 10g and 100g products simultaneously?
A: If the bag width is the same, the volume can be changed by fine-tuning the screw of the adjustable measuring cup. However, since the volume difference between 10 grams and 100 grams is tenfold, exceeding the adjustment limit of a single measuring cup, it is necessary to purchase two measuring cup trays of different sizes for replacement.
Q: How are after-sales service and machine installation issues resolved for overseas customers?
A: The machine is fully assembled and the circuit is debugged before leaving the factory. After receiving the wooden box, customers can start the machine by connecting the power and air pump. We include a high-definition assembly video and circuit diagram, and spare parts kits are provided for daily consumables such as heating coils and cutters.

The Small Pouch Granules Packaging Machine provides a low-investment, quick-return automation solution for small and medium-sized enterprises through its mechanical measuring cup structure. It abandons high-cost electronic weighing components and focuses on improving the dispensing speed of uniform granular materials. If your factory is packaging granules such as sugar, salt, and desiccants and wants to increase daily output, please provide Machrise with material samples and bag dimensions, and our technical team will match suitable measuring cup specifications and equipment quotes.
