Answers to the most common questions about our Automation Equipment

What cannabis automation equipment does Sana Packaging offer?

Sana Packaging offers commercial equipment for grinding cannabis flower, sifting ground material, filling pre-rolled cones, and improving pre-roll production workflows.

Current options include:

• King Kone 2.0 Metal Pre-Rolled Cone Filling Machine

• King Kone 2.0 Pre-Roll Starter Kit

The King Kone Classic Metal Pre-Rolled Cone Filling Machine and King Kone Classic Pre-Roll Starter Kit have been discontinued and are available only while supplies last. The King Kone 2.0 and King Kone 2.0 Pre-Roll Starter Kit are the current models.

Pre-rolled cones, smoking tubes, finished-product packaging, labels, and other consumable components are sold separately unless specifically included in the product description or quote.

Specifications, accessories, replacement parts, inventory, shipping methods, and lead times vary by product.

Which cannabis automation equipment should I choose?

Choose equipment based on the production step, desired throughput, flower characteristics, cone or smoking-tube format, available workspace, electrical service, staffing, and budget.

Common starting points include:

• Industrial Cannabis Grinder for reducing cannabis flower to a more consistent particle size

• Quick Sift Mini or Quick Sift Commercial for removing stems, large leaves, and oversized particles from already-ground flower

• King Kone 2.0 for filling compatible pre-rolled cones or smoking tubes in batches

• King Kone 2.0 Pre-Roll Starter Kit for purchasing the filling machine and grinder together

• Quick Sift Mini or Quick Sift Commercial with a compatible screen for adding sifting to a starter-kit workflow

• Model-specific Quick Sift screens for testing or replacing mesh sizes

• King Kone 2.0 with the separately sold Tube Conversion Kit and appropriate inserts for filling compatible smoking tubes

When comparing options, consider:

• Current and projected production volume

• Flower density, moisture, stickiness, and particle size

• Cone or smoking-tube dimensions

• Target fill weight and packing density

• Required particle-size consistency

• Changeover and cleaning frequency

• Available labor and operator experience

• Workspace and electrical requirements

• Upstream and downstream production bottlenecks

• Required trays, screens, inserts, and replacement parts

A sifter may not be necessary for every operation. Test the complete workflow with the intended flower, cones, equipment settings, packaging, and operators before establishing production targets.

What is included with the King Kone 2.0 Pre-Roll Starter Kit?

The base King Kone 2.0 Pre-Roll Starter Kit includes:

• One King Kone 2.0 Metal Pre-Rolled Cone Filling Machine

• Standard filling attachments for 84mm, 98mm standard, and 109mm cones

• One Industrial Cannabis Grinder

• Standard 4mm, 5.5mm, and 6mm grinder screens

• One grinder collection container with a lid

A Quick Sift Mini or Quick Sift Commercial can be added to qualifying starter-kit configurations. A compatible, model-specific screen must also be selected when a Quick Sift is added.

The following items are not automatically included:

• Pre-rolled cones

• Specialty filling trays

• Tube Conversion Kit components

• Smoking tubes

• Additional or replacement Quick Sift screens

• Weighing or quality-control equipment

• Closing equipment

• Finished-product packaging

• Labels or tamper-evident components

The discontinued King Kone Classic Pre-Roll Starter Kit contains the Classic filling machine and Industrial Cannabis Grinder. It is available only while remaining inventory lasts.

Confirm the complete equipment list and selected options on the quote before ordering.

Which pre-rolled cones and accessories work with the King Kone 2.0?

The standard King Kone 2.0 configuration includes filling attachments for:

• 84mm pre-rolled cones

• 98mm standard pre-rolled cones

• 109mm pre-rolled cones

Additional filling trays may be available separately for select specialty formats, including 70mm dogwalker cones and 98mm Reefer Slim cones.

Filling compatible pre-rolled smoking tubes requires a separately sold Tube Conversion Kit and diameter-specific inserts. These smoking tubes are filled with cannabis to create a finished smoking product. They are different from the retail packaging tubes used to hold completed pre-rolls.

Other available accessories may include:

• Supplemental top and bottom trays

• Volumetric metering trays

• Tamping tools and attachments

• King Kone Closer

• Clearing tools

• Custom-size attachments for eligible projects

Compatibility depends on the product length, diameter, taper, construction, target fill weight, prepared flower, filling attachment, and machine configuration.

A nominal cone or tube size does not guarantee compatibility with every supplier or format. Test the actual product and complete equipment configuration before production.

How do I choose between the Quick Sift Mini and Quick Sift Commercial?

Choose a Quick Sift model based on production volume, available space, batch size, screen capacity, and workflow requirements.

The Quick Sift Mini:

• Has a machine diameter of approximately 13.75 inches

• Uses screens measuring approximately 12 inches in diameter × 4 inches deep

• Operates on 110V power

• Is suited to compact production areas and smaller workflows

The Quick Sift Commercial:

• Uses screens measuring approximately 16 inches in diameter × 5 inches deep

• Provides a larger-capacity format

• Has a published power specification of 50W and 60Hz

• Requires some assembly

Quick Sift Mini and Quick Sift Commercial screens are different sizes and are not interchangeable.

Lower mesh numbers have larger openings. Screens in the 8- to 16-mesh range are generally used to separate stems, leaves, and oversized particles from ground flower. A 10- or 12-mesh screen is a practical starting point for many pre-roll applications.

Screens beginning around 60 mesh are generally intended for kief or other fine-material separation.

Each Quick Sift machine includes one screen in the selected model and mesh size. Additional and replacement screens are sold separately.

How much can the equipment process, and does it automate the entire workflow?

Published equipment output provides a planning reference rather than a guaranteed production rate.

Current published figures include:

• King Kone 2.0: up to 169 cones per run and approximately 1,200 to 2,200 pre-rolls per hour

• Industrial Cannabis Grinder: approximately one pound of flower per minute

• Quick Sift Mini and Quick Sift Commercial: approximately one pound of ground material in two to three minutes

These figures describe separate production steps and should not be combined into a single guaranteed production-line speed.

The King Kone is a semi-automated batch-filling machine. It does not automatically weigh, correct, tamp, close, inspect, label, package, or establish regulatory compliance for finished pre-rolls.

Actual output depends on the flower, cone format, equipment configuration, settings, staffing, material handling, cleaning, quality control, finished-product packaging, rework, and downtime.

What facility and setup requirements should I confirm?

Confirm the specifications and instructions for every machine before installation.

Current planning information includes:

• King Kone 2.0 and King Kone Classic: approximately 15 inches × 15 inches × 25 inches and 110V power

• Industrial Cannabis Grinder: approximately 18 inches × 18 inches × 12 inches and 110V AC, 60Hz, 750W power

• Quick Sift Mini: approximately 13.75-inch machine diameter and 110V power

• Quick Sift Commercial: larger model-specific components, a published 50W and 60Hz power specification, and required assembly

The Quick Sift Commercial requires a 13mm wrench, 14mm wrench, and needle-nose pliers for assembly. These tools are not included.

Plan for:

• A stable, level work surface

• Adequate equipment and operator clearance

• Safe electrical connections

• Material staging and collection areas

• Cleaning access

• Appropriate ventilation and facility controls

• Ergonomic loading and unloading

• Lot separation and traceability

• Storage for screens, trays, tools, and replacement components

• Applicable workplace, fire, electrical, sanitation, and cannabis-processing requirements

The Industrial Cannabis Grinder is UL Listed. That listing applies only to the specified grinder and should not be extended to other equipment or the complete production system.
