Automating High-Volume Pre-Roll Production
Utektik engineering focuses on resolving the specific bottlenecks that slow down commercial cannabis facilities: weight variance, infusion consistency, and packaging labor. By integrating mechanical precision into every step, these machines allow operators to increase throughput while significantly reducing waste and labor costs.
Precision Weighing & Infusion Technology
The primary advantage of Utektik equipment lies in its ability to control variables that standard vibration tables often miss. Instead of simply shaking material into cones, Utektik systems measure and manage the inputs for a superior end product.
-
Individual Weighing Accuracy: The
Auto Roller 2.0 distinguishes itself by weighing pre-rolls individually ensuring compliance and customer satisfaction without manual spot-checking.
-
Automated Concentrate Injection: The
Utektik InfuZZion machine handles the complex task of injecting oils and distillates into the center of the pre-roll, creating a premium infused product with rapid changeovers between oil types.
-
Mechanical Packaging: Finish your production run efficiently with the
Pop Top Capper, which mechanically seals containers to prevent the repetitive strain and slowness of manual capping.
Choosing the Right Utektik Solution
Selecting the correct machine depends on which part of your production line currently faces the biggest bottleneck. Utektik offers specialized modules that can work independently or as a complete ecosystem.
-
For Accurate Filling: If your team struggles with inconsistent joint weights, the
Auto Roller 2.0 is the critical upgrade, capable of producing up to 4,000 units per shift with precise compaction.
-
For Premium Infusions: For brands looking to enter the high-margin infused market, the
InfuZZion system automates the injection process, ensuring even distribution without the mess of manual syringes.
-
Workflow Dependency: Before feeding any automated filler, ensure your biomass is prepared correctly. Browse our
Shredders & Grinders to provide the uniform consistency these machines require.
Optimizing Your Pre-Roll Workflow
Integrating automation requires a holistic approach to your production line. To get the most out of Utektik's advanced machinery, focus on the quality of your inputs and the organization of your workspace.
-
Standardize Your Grind: Automation thrives on consistency. Use a commercial grinder to ensure your flower particle size is uniform, preventing voids or clogs during the filling process.
-
Manage Oil Viscosity: When using the InfuZZion, monitor the temperature of your concentrates to maintain the correct viscosity for smooth injection and even saturation.
-
Streamline Packaging: Position the Pop Top Capper immediately after your finishing station to reduce handling time and get products sealed and ready for distribution faster.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Utektik Auto Roller ensure consistent weights?
The Auto Roller 2.0 utilizes a specialized metering and weighing system that measures the flower for each individual cone rather than relying solely on volumetric filling. This ensures that every pre-roll meets your specific weight targets within a tight tolerance.
What types of concentrates can the InfuZZion machine handle?
The InfuZZion machine is designed to work with a wide variety of oil types, including distillates and other viscous cannabis concentrates. It features temperature controls to ensure the oil flows correctly during the injection process.
What is the throughput capacity of the Utektik Auto Roller?
The Auto Roller 2.0 is engineered for commercial production and can produce approximately 4,000 pre-rolls per standard shift, depending on the operator's efficiency and the consistency of the input material.
Do I need specific cones for Utektik machines?
Utektik machines are generally compatible with standard industry cone sizes. However, ensuring you use high-quality, uncrushed cones is vital for machine performance. You can browse compatible options in our
Pre-Rolled Cones collection.
Does the Pop Top Capper work with all tube sizes?
The Pop Top Capper is designed to work with standard pop-top doob tubes commonly used in the industry. It mechanically presses the caps to seal them, significantly reducing the hand fatigue associated with manual closing.
How do I clean Utektik machines?
Proper maintenance involves regular cleaning with isopropyl alcohol to remove resin buildup from contact surfaces. The machines are designed with accessible parts to facilitate easy cleaning between shifts or strain changes.
