Small Bag Filling Equipment
Fill 500-1,500 small bags, pouches, or containers per hour with precision weigh-fill equipment.
Small bag filling equipment is used to weigh and fill bags, stand-up pouches, and rigid containers with free-flowing, dry bulk products. This includes food items like coffee beans, nuts, seeds, candy, pasta, granola, hop pellets, pet food, feed pellets, and rice, along with a wide range of other bulk solids.
Each machine is built for a specific product type or output speed. Options range from compact tabletop units for lower-volume operations to high-speed, multi-scale systems for commercial packaging lines. All of them replace hand-scooping and manual weighing, which speeds up production and improves fill accuracy.
Every model includes a digital scale controller for quick setup and on-the-fly adjustments, so you can switch between products without reprogramming from scratch. Browse the four available models below to find the small bag filling equipment that fits your product, bag type, and required output.

Looking to fill larger bags?
Fill larger bags weighing 20-110 pounds using an Open Mouth Bagging Machine or a Valve Bag Filling Machine.
Available Models
Models S4 and S4 Tabletop
The S4 and S4 Tabletop are entry-level small bag filling equipment built for free-flowing, dry bulk products, everything from fine powders to larger flakes and granules. Product is loaded into the supply hopper, a vibratory feeder moves it into the weigh hopper, and once the target weight is reached, the controller automatically opens the hopper to dump product into a bag, pouch, or container below. Bags can then be routed through an optional bag sealer.
The S4 Tabletop delivers the same performance in a smaller footprint, a good fit when floor space is limited.
For faster fill speeds (up to 1,500 fills per hour) and the ability to mix products, see the S7 Dual Filling System in the Images & Videos tab below.

Model S6
The S6 is small bag filling equipment purpose-built for non-free-flowing or irregularly shaped products: crackers, chips, candy, cookies, and similar items that don't flow evenly through a standard vibratory feeder. It uses a cascading scale system paired with a precise pan-depth monitoring component to keep fills consistent, even with awkward or delicate product shapes. The S6 shares many core components with the S4, including the same weigh controller, and can fill multiple bags or pouches at once before sending them through a bag sealer.

Model SM900 (8-15 Bags, Stand Up Pouches, or Containers / Min)
The SM900 is medium-duty small bag filling equipment built for years of continuous use, including regular washdowns. This isn't an entry-level machine. It runs on a single or double scale with foot pedal activation and is available as a tabletop unit or with a standing leg kit. It's electrical only, with no compressed air required, which simplifies installation in facilities without an existing air line.
Like the S4 and S6, it uses a vibratory feeder to move product from the supply hopper into the weigh hopper. Once the target weight is reached, the controller stops the feeder and opens the weigh hopper to discharge product into a bag, pouch, or container below, which then moves on to bag sealing equipment.
For faster fill speeds (up to 900 fills per hour) and the ability to mix products, add a second scale and vibratory feeder.
Electrical only. No compressed air required.
