Pocket fillers, often referred to as cup fillers, are specialized packaging machines designed for the precise dispensing of dry goods, including but not limited to cat treats, nuts, grains, and small candies. These machines operate by transferring the product from a storage hopper into a pre-measured chamber. Once filled, this chamber releases the product into the packaging, ensuring a consistent volume in each package. This type of machinery is essential for businesses looking to maintain accuracy and efficiency in packaging operations where the quantity of product per package is a critical factor.

Typical products and applications include:

• Cat treats or dry pet food: Dispensed into pouches or tubs with consistent volume per serving
• Nuts, trail mix, or seeds: Volumetrically filled into bags or snack packs for retail
• Candies, gumballs, or chocolate pieces: Portioned evenly for single-serve or multi-pack formats
• Grains or rice: Filled into bags for retail or foodservice with reliable consistency
• Powdery or granular products (e.g., drink mixes): Measured into cups or sachets with minimal dusting

Additional Considerations:

• Ideal for free-flowing dry products: Best suited for small items that settle easily into volume-based chambers
• Provides repeatable fill volumes: Ensures consistent product presentation and packaging weight
• Simple and cost-effective operation: Often used in mid- to high-speed packaging lines with minimal product waste
• Adjustable cup sizes: Allows for quick changeovers between product fill volumes
• Integrates with sealing and form-fill systems: Easily fits into automated lines for efficient bagging or pouch filling
