Scale Production and Ensure Consistency
In the competitive cannabis market, consistency is currency. A reliable pre-roll machine does more than just speed up the filling process; it standardizes the weight, pack density, and burn quality of your final product. By automating the vibration and settling phases, you eliminate the human error that leads to canoeing or under-filled joints, ensuring your customers get a premium experience with every purchase.
Precision Engineering for High-Volume Output
Modern cone filling technology integrates advanced vibration mechanics to settle material evenly without over-compacting, allowing you to maximize throughput while maintaining strict quality control standards.
-
Vibration Technology: Systems like the
King Kone Pre Roll 169 utilize variable-speed vibration to gently settle ground flower, ensuring uniformity across massive batches.
-
Adjustable Density: Many units offer customizable settings to accommodate different strain densities and grind consistencies, giving you granular control over the final draw resistance.
-
Modular Versatility: Advanced machines support various tray sizes, allowing you to switch between standard 109mm king cones, 98mm reefers, and 84mm sizes to meet diverse market demands.
Choosing the Right Pre-Roll System
Selecting the correct machine depends on your daily production targets and facility workflow. Looking for just the paper? Browse our

Shredders & Grinders section.
-
The Craft Producer: For boutique operations needing flexibility, the
Humboldt Filling Machine offers a perfect balance of manual control and mechanical assistance for medium-sized batches.
-
The Commercial Operator: Facilities aiming for thousands of units daily require the robust architecture of the
STM Canna RocketBox Pro, which maximizes efficiency and integrates seamlessly into GMP-compliant workflows.
-
Essential Input: No machine works without the right consumables. Ensure your workflow runs smooth by stocking up on compatible
Pre-Rolled Cones that fit your specific machine's trays.
Optimizing Your Pre-Roll Workflow
To get the most out of your automated filler, you must treat the entire production line as a cohesive system. The machine is only as good as the material you feed it.
-
Consistent Grind: Use a dedicated
commercial shredder to achieve a uniform particle size. Uneven grinds lead to air pockets and uneven burning in the final product.
-
Moisture Management: Ensure your flower is at the optimal humidity level (typically 10-12%) before filling. Too dry, and it turns to dust; too wet, and it clumps, clogging the machine's distribution capabilities.
-
Automated Closing: Don't let the bottleneck be the final fold. Integrate a
Pre-Roll Closer Machine to finish your joints with a professional dutch crown or twist in seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pre-rolls can these machines produce per hour?
Production capacity varies by model. Entry-level vibration tables like the King Kone can fill 169 cones in a few minutes, potentially yielding 1,000+ per hour. Industrial units like the STM Canna RocketBox are designed to produce over 10,000 joints per day with a proper team operating the workflow.
Do I need a specific type of grinder for my pre-roll machine?
Yes, a consistent grind is critical. Standard grinders often leave chunks or pulverize material into dust. Commercial shredders and grinders designed for pre-roll production create a uniform particle size that ensures the material flows evenly into the cones and burns smoothly.
Are these machines compatible with different cone sizes?
Most professional pre-roll machines are modular and can accommodate various cone sizes, including 84mm (1/2 gram), 98mm (0.75 gram), and 109mm (King Size). However, this usually requires purchasing specific trays or attachments for each size you intend to produce.
How do I prevent my pre-rolls from being too loose or too tight?
Control the density by adjusting the duration and intensity of the vibration cycle. Most machines allow you to fine-tune these settings. Additionally, ensuring your material has the correct moisture content and particle size is essential for achieving the perfect pack.
Can these machines handle infused flower?
Yes, many growers use these machines with infused flower. However, infused material is stickier and heavier, which may require shorter vibration cycles or specific cleaning protocols to prevent buildup in the trays.
What maintenance do pre-roll machines require?
Regular cleaning is mandatory to maintain performance. Resin buildup can clog trays and reduce vibration effectiveness. Most machines feature stainless steel or food-grade plastic components that can be easily wiped down with isopropyl alcohol between runs.
