Stable volume behavior
Compare portion stability, refill behavior and sensitivity to particle variation.
Particle-led machine decision
Granule multi-lane packing machines for weighed and counted portion packs.
Use particle size and shape, fines, fragility, separation risk and the weighed or counted portion target to compare feeding, metering, pack and sample-test routes.

A granule label is not enough to select the machine.
Provide the real particles, target portion, pack format and acceptance method. A stable pellet, fragile inclusion, product with fines and countable piece can require different handling.

Place the product in the right decision group before hardware selection.
One product can carry more than one condition. Record the sample observations instead of selecting by category name alone.
- Free-flowing
- Observe discharge, consistency and portion stability.
- Fragile
- Review transfer, drop path, breakage and accepted appearance.
- With fines
- Check dust, separation, seal-area exposure and cleanout questions.
- Countable
- Confirm shape consistency, separation and the buyer's counting method.
Protect consistency from hopper discharge to the open pack.
Bridging, rough transfer, long drops, static and segregation can change the candidate route. Review these risks together rather than treating feeding as an accessory.
- 01Hopper discharge
Record flow interruption, bridging and refill behavior.
- 02Transfer path
Review gentle handling, drop height and product separation.
- 03Metering entry
Confirm a stable presentation to the candidate dosing method.
- 04Pack drop
Observe bounce, fines and seal-area exposure at the target pack.
Compare concepts against the product and acceptance method.
Volumetric, weighing and counting are engineering candidates, not default capabilities across every AIX configuration.
Mass-based decision
Review the target portion, settling, fines, vibration and the agreed weighing method.
Piece-based decision
Review shape consistency, separation, detection conditions and the buyer's acceptance method.
Connect the metering candidate to the finished portion pack.
Stick Pack or sachet dimensions, film, opening, product drop, bounce, fines and seal-area cleanliness must be reviewed together.
Turn uncertain particle behavior into observable project questions.
The Product properties below are the same facts supplied to structured data; they do not contain fixed performance values.
| Project decision | Visible scope boundary |
|---|---|
| Material classification | Record particle size and shape, free-flowing behavior, fines, fragility, segregation risk and whether the target is weighed or counted. |
| Feeding and transfer | Review hopper discharge, bridging, gentle transfer, drop path and the risk of fines or separation before selecting hardware. |
| Candidate metering route | Compare volumetric, weighing and counting concepts against the real product, target portion, breakage, stability and acceptance method. |
| Sample and acceptance basis | Define representative samples, target pack, project conditions, observations, records and buyer-approved acceptance questions. |
Bring representative product and target packs.Record observations and acceptance questions under the intended project conditions before freezing a machine scope.
Choose the industry context
Use Food or Nutraceutical only after the particle route is clear.
Food adds product-contact, presentation and downstream questions. Nutraceutical adds contract-manufacturer, documentation and quality-team inputs.
Is weighing or counting automatically available for every granule?
No. Weighing and counting are candidate routes whose fit depends on the real particle, portion target, fines, breakage, stability and acceptance method.
When should granule sample testing be planned?
Plan testing when fragility, fines, irregular shape, static, segregation or an uncertain metering route can change the machine decision. Use representative product and target packs.
Can lane count, output or accuracy be promised from this page?
No. Those values require an approved configuration, material, pack, operating conditions and acceptance method; this page publishes no fixed performance claim.
