No DramaBuyer guide · Cannabis & hemp
Dried flower is sticky, light and uneven, so the weigher, not the sealer, decides whether a cannabis packaging machine hits your label weight without giving product away.
01
Flower needs small buckets, dimpled contact surfaces and gentle vibration, or it bridges and clumps. Listings state accuracy from a few hundredths of a gram to half a gram, a factor of ten. Ask at which dose that figure was measured.
Jar lines add an unscrambler, capper, induction sealer and labeller. Pouch lines add a magazine and zip handling. Most of the spread in priced listings is these stations, not the weigher.
Each drop from weigher to container breaks buds. Ask for the drop height and whether a soft-close timing gate is fitted.
A check weigher after filling proves each unit. Ask whether it is in the price and how rejects are held.
Resin builds on buckets and chutes within a shift. Ask how long a full bucket strip-down takes, and whether it needs tools.
02
Send these with the enquiry. Without them, any number a factory gives you is a guess dressed as a quotation.

| Require this | A pass looks like |
|---|---|
| Run a counted batch of your own flower, or a hemp stand-in of similar moisture, at your smallest dose and at target speed. | Every unit on a check weigher is at or above label weight, and the average giveaway stays under the figure written in the contract. |
| Run the same batch for a full hour without stopping, then open the weigher. | No bucket has jammed, accuracy at the end matches the start, and cleaning takes no longer than the quotation states. |
| Cap, seal and label your real containers, including the child-resistant closure. | Caps reach the torque your closure maker states, seals hold under a squeeze check, and labels sit within your position tolerance. |

05
A semi-automatic flower weighing machine with one operator. It costs far less and changes dose in seconds.
A premade pouch machine specified for your child-resistant zip. The zip, not the weigher, becomes the hard part.
06
We name the kind of source, how many and when, and never the factory. Listed prices are asking prices, not landed cost. Where we do not hold a fact we say so: that is a GAP, not an estimate.
07
Every machine we source in this area is on the Cannabis & hemp page. How a project runs, stage by stage, is on how it works, and what it costs is on pricing.
Straight answers
Mostly weigher electronics, servo brand and local service. A Chinese weigher can be as accurate as a European one. Test it on your flower, not on sugar.
Accuracy at your smallest dose, check weigher rejects, contact-part material, guarding interlocks, wiring against the diagrams, manual language, and a resin cleaning test.
Yes. Machinery rules apply whatever the product: you need the Declaration of Conformity and the technical file. Whether you may run this machine, and on what material, depends on the licence your business holds where the machine will be used.
Usually you, as the business placing the machine on the EU market. Your name and address go on the machine or its documents, and you check the conformity documentation.
