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.
