Updated: Sep 6
When I started in cannabis, we had a big problem. My team filled every joint by hand. We used scoops. We guessed the weight. We twisted each cone by hand.
It took forever. The cones looked different every time. Some burned too fast. Others were too tight. A few even bent or broke before we could pack them.
We were missing deadlines and losing money. And our customers noticed.
I knew we needed something better.
That’s when we started searching for the best pre-roll cone filling machine. Something fast. Something reliable. Something that didn’t mess up the cones we already used, like RAW.
We tried a lot of machines. Some were fast but made a mess. Others were slow and jammed easily.
But when we found Preroll Pro, everything changed.
Why Preroll Consistency Is So Important
Good joints burn smoothly. They taste great. And they feel it from start to finish.
That doesn’t happen by luck. It occurs because each pre-roll is packed the same way every time.
A cannabis industry study confirmed it. It showed that joints with a water activity level of 0.65 aW had the best results. They burned evenly, had smoother flavor, and activated cannabinoids better.
👉 What’s water activity (aW)?It’s a measure of moisture. Too much? Joints mold. Too little? They burn too fast.
Another report from Custom Cones USA found that when joints were packed consistently at 0.65 aW, producers saved 18 grams of flower per pound. That’s about 4% more product saved, just from using better machines.
That’s what Preroll Pro machines do well. They pack by weight, not volume. So, every joint is even. No waste. No guessing.
Picking the Right Machine for Your Needs
Every cannabis business is different.
Some fill a few hundred joints a week. Others do thousands per day.
Here’s how to choose the right tool:
Type of Filler | Best For | Pros | Cons |
Manual Fillers | Small batches | Cheap | Slow, inconsistent |
Automatic Fillers | Growing businesses | Fast, even, saves labor | More upfront cost |
Automatic machines, like the Preroll Pro Accu-Roller GEN-1200, handle the full job—filling, packing, and even sealing.
Why does it matter?
Because pre-rolls are booming.
Margaret Jackson, a reporter at MJBizDaily, agrees that sales of pre-rolls grew to $4.1 billion in just 18 months. That’s over 394 million joints sold in North America.
If you want to keep up, you need the right gear.
Infused Pre-Rolls: What to Know
Infused pre-rolls are the top trend in cannabis. They’re stronger and more flavorful—but harder to make.
Sticky inputs like wax or kief clog regular machines. You need a system built to handle those.
Custom Cones USA’s 2024 report says 46.3% of all pre-rolls sold were infused. And they bring in more money per unit than regular joints.
If you’re making infused pre-rolls, automation isn’t a maybe—it’s a must.
Preroll Pro designed the GEN-1200 for this. It handles sticky materials without jams. It fills accurately, so you don’t waste product. And it keeps your team moving fast.
Lower Labor, Higher Profits
Labor is expensive. Manual joint filling eats up time and money. And mistakes lead to returns and unhappy customers.
Switching to a machine like Preroll Pro cuts labor costs by over 60%.
One trained person can run the whole thing.
A 2025 report from United Green found that companies saved up to $48,000 a year per workstation just by automating their joint production.
Why That Matters
✅ Fewer staff needed
✅ Fewer returns
✅ Faster training
✅ Higher product quality
Manual vs. Automatic Pre-Roll Cone Filling Machines
Feature | Manual Fillers | Automatic (Preroll Pro) |
Speed | Slow | Fast |
Labor Cost | High | Low |
Fill Type | By volume (guessing) | By weight (accurate) |
Consistency | Low | High |
Long-Term ROI | Low | High |
Got RAW Cones? Choose the Right Machine
RAW cones are some of the best out there. They burn well and are super popular with customers.
But they’re thin and delicate. Many machines tear them or pack unevenly.
The Preroll Pro is made to handle RAW cones. It has:
Adjustable tools
Precision weighing
Cone protection sensors
So, you get clean, smooth joints. No crushed tips. No waste.
Speed That Works: 600 to 1,200 Joints Per Hour
Speed matters—but only if the quality stays high.
The Accu-Roller GEN-1200 does both.
High-speed model: 20 joints per minute (1,200 per hour)
Compact model: 10 joints per minute (600 per hour)
Each one is packed by weight, using a dual-scale system. That means you don’t guess. You know.
And with the “No Cone, No Fill” sensor, the machine stops if a cone is missing, saving product.
Why GEN-1200 Outpaces the Field
Feature | Accu-Roller GEN-1200 | Other Fillers |
Max Output | 1,200/hour | 300–900/hour |
Fill Method | Dual-scale (by weight) | Volume or single-scale |
Infused Support | Yes | Sometimes |
Waste Protection | Yes | Rare |
Control | iOS & Android app | None |
You can even run the machine from your phone. That’s how smart it is.
