Futurola Standard Pre-Roll Cone Filling Kit

For high-volume operations, using multiple Standard Filling Kits creates a continuous production cycle. While one batch is being filled in the Knockbox machine, operators can be loading empty cones into a second filling device. Once the first batch completes, it's removed for post-processing while the second, already-loaded device is immediately placed on the machine. This rotation eliminates downtime between batches and can increase overall production by 30-40% compared to using a single filling device.

The Standard Filling Kit works with several cone formats that all share the same 11-12.5mm crown diameter but differ in length and filter tip size. The 1 1/4 (84/26) is the shortest at 84mm with a 26mm filter. Slim (98/26) cones offer a medium length with standard filter. King Size cones come in two variations: 109/26 with a standard filter, and 109/21 with a shorter 21mm filter for more material capacity. Each format is available in both Classic White and Dutch Brown papers, allowing producers to create diverse product lines with a single filling kit.

Yes, the Standard Filling Kit is designed for maximum compatibility across Futurola's Knockbox lineup. It works with both the older Knockbox 2 and newer Knockbox 3 series machines (including the KB 3/50 and KB 3/100 models). This backward compatibility makes it an excellent investment for operations upgrading their equipment over time, as the filling kits can continue to be used even as base machines are updated to newer models.

The 36mm Mix Tray included with the Standard Filling Kit features an optimal depth specifically calibrated for standard cone sizes. This precise depth ensures even material distribution across all filling positions during the vibration phase. The tray's design prevents material from spilling while allowing enough capacity for the full batch of 100 cones. The larger surface area compared to other filling kit trays accommodates more material, which is essential for the higher cone capacity of the Standard kit.

Regular cleaning is the primary maintenance requirement for optimal performance. After each production run, thoroughly clean all components with isopropyl alcohol to remove residue. Pay special attention to the filling holes in the device, as these can become clogged with material over time. The kit's components are designed for durability, but should be handled carefully during cleaning to maintain alignment precision. With proper maintenance, the Standard Filling Kit can process hundreds of thousands of cones before requiring replacement parts.
