An automated cartridge filler dispenses precise doses of cannabis oil into vape carts, replacing hand syringes and semi-manual filling guns. The best and most efficient systems, like Xylem’s, also cap in-line, so filling and capping occur as a single continuous process rather than two separate labor steps. Compared to manual methods, an automated cart-filling and capping machine is faster, more accurate, and retains the quality of your resin, since the oil spends less time at high temperatures and is exposed to air.

The X4 is Xylem’s flagship cart filler and capper, and the fastest on the market. It fills and caps in a single continuous flow at speeds over 1,650 units per hour, using the industry’s lowest fill temperatures, starting at 38°C, so live resin and other premium concentrates retain their terpenes. Run it standalone or connect it in-line with Xylem cleaning and packaging equipment for a fully automated production line.

Because hand filling doesn’t scale. An automatic vape filling machine like the X4 produces over 1,650 carts per hour with one operator, at roughly one cent per packaged unit and a weight deviation of 0.25% or less. The payback comes from three places at once: labor you no longer need, oil you no longer waste, and carts that consistently look full on the shelf instead of varying from tube to tube.

Carts are sorted and conveyed automatically, filled by precision ceramic pumps drawing from a heated 2-liter stainless steel tank, then capped within about three seconds of filling. That instant cap does two jobs: it locks in a high fill line and creates a strong vacuum seal before any oil can settle or leak. A center post defect checker screens every cartridge along the way, and finished units can hand off straight to downstream packaging with no worker action in between.

Speed is the headline: 1,500-1,800 units per hour with a single operator. But the quality features are what keep customers loyal. The 38°C fill temperature is the lowest in the industry, instant capping virtually eliminates leaks, and the optional nitrogen or argon overlay suppresses oxidation so resin stays bright on the shelf. All of it fits in a compact, enclosed, GMP-ready platform on casters that you can position almost anywhere.

Four things: fill accuracy, low-temperature operation, integrated capping, and resin compatibility. A great vape cartridge filling machine should handle everything from distillate to live resin without cooking off terpenes, cap instantly to prevent leaks, and hold weight deviation tight enough that you’re not giving away oil. Sanitary stainless steel and ceramic contact materials matter, too, if GMP is in your future. The X4 was engineered around this exact checklist, which is why the top brands in the market use Xylem vape filling equipment.

The AX is an AI-enabled vape cart filler that uses machine vision to see and fill carts the way a person would, just faster and more precisely. It handles all 510 thread carts, pods, disposables, and all-in-ones up to 4.7mL from any manufacturer, with no specialized trays or jigs required. The pressurized stainless steel tank and lines are built in accordance with GMP guidelines.

You place foam blocks of unfilled vapes on the platform and press start. That’s genuinely most of it. The AX’s dual RGB and lidar cameras map everything on the plate, locate each injection point, and fill at 700+ units per hour without any alignment or tray setup. Multiple blocks can go on at once, as long as they fit within the vision boundary.

It’s a filler that makes its own decisions. Traditional automated fillers need hardware-specific jigs, so every new cart format means new tooling and a slow changeover. An autonomous cart-filling system uses AI vision to identify whatever is in front of it and fill it correctly, which means one machine can handle unlimited form factors, and changeovers take minutes, not days. That flexibility is the whole point.

Universal hardware compatibility is the big one, since it protects your equipment investment when cart trends shift. Beyond that: 700+ units per hour, 1% fill precision, operating temps down to 40°C to preserve volatile compounds, and under 2% transfer loss between batches when running two or more kilos. The stainless steel components clean easily, and the whole system fits in a 5ft x 5ft workspace, which makes the AX a strong fit for small and mid-sized operations. (For high-volume 510-only production, the X4 Cart Filler & Capper fills and caps at over 1,650 units per hour.)

Because hardware changes, and jigs don’t. Every time a fixed automation system meets a new cart format, you’re buying tooling and losing production days. An autonomous vape cartridge filler sidesteps that entirely. The AX adapts to new pods, carts, and all-in-ones on sight, so you can chase whatever SKU the market wants next without retooling. For new formats, you send Xylem two blocks of hardware, and training takes about two weeks.

Very. Load a foam block, press start, walk away. There’s no alignment step or tray to configure, and the system automatically detects everything within its 7.5″ x 10″ vision area. If you want to see it before buying, Xylem offers live and video demos where you can run your own carts and formulations, plus on-site commissioning and operator training after purchase.

The Y2 is Xylem’s automated pre-roll infusion system, built for one of the hardest jobs in cannabis manufacturing: getting concentrate inside a finished pre-roll cleanly, consistently, and fast. It infuses up to 700 units per hour and works with any liquefiable concentrate, which is what makes products like donut joints and hash holes viable at commercial scale. Sealed stainless steel and ceramic contact components keep it GMP-ready.

Precision pumps inject concentrate directly into each pre-roll at the lowest fill temperatures on the market. That low-heat approach matters more here than almost anywhere else in the plant, because the concentrates people infuse with live rosin, live resin, batter are exactly the ones whose terpenes and volatile esters degrade fastest under heat. The Y2 runs cones, straight pre-rolls, and blunts on one platform, and it’s designed for high uptime in daily production.

Pre-roll manufacturing equipment that mechanically injects concentrate rather than by hand. If you’ve ever watched a team infuse pre-rolls with syringes, you know the problems: it’s slow, it’s messy, and dosing varies from unit to unit. An automatic pre-roll infusion machine fixes all three, delivering repeatable doses at commercial speed so every infused pre-roll tests at the potency on the label.

Consistent dosing is the one your compliance team will care about. Speed is what your CFO will care about, with the Y2 running at up to 700 units per hour. And flavor is the one your customers will notice, since low-temperature infusion preserves the compounds that make premium concentrates worth the price. Put together, automated pre-roll infusion turns a labor-heavy specialty product into a scalable, high-margin SKU.

Concentrate mainly on compatibility and format flexibility. The Y2 infuses any liquefiable resin at the lowest fill temperature on the market, and it moves between cones, straight pre-rolls, and blunts without complicated changeovers. Other pre-roll infusion equipment tends to force a tradeoff between speed and gentleness with the concentrate. The Y2 doesn’t ask you to pick.

Cones, straight pre-rolls, and blunts, infused with anything you can liquefy: live rosin, live resin, batter, distillate. Because the infusion occurs at such low temperatures, delicate concentrates retain their terpene profiles, so the Y2 is particularly well-suited to premium infused products like donut joints and hash holes, where flavor is the selling point.

The XB is the first fully automated vape bagger system on the market. It auto-loads both carts and bags, then sorts, orients, inserts, and seals at 800+ units per hour, while an operator mostly keeps the inputs topped up. Run it on its own, or connect it in line with Xylem filling equipment for end-to-end vape packaging automation.

Finished carts go into a 500+-unit autoloader, and bags go into a magazine that holds 150 to 600 at a time. From there, the XB does everything: it orients each cart, pulls and opens a bag, inserts the cart, and heat-seals it shut. For child-resistant packaging, it goes one step further and closes the child lock too, so what comes off the line is finished, compliant vape cart packaging ready for distribution.

Final packaging is usually the most labor-intensive step in vape production, and automated vape cart bagging removes almost all of it. You get 800+ units per hour, seal quality that doesn’t vary with who’s working that day, and the option of an argon overlay for modified-atmosphere packaging, which extends shelf life and prevents resin from discoloring in the bag. For most operators, it’s the fastest single lever for cutting cost per packaged unit.

Mostly by taking human hands out of it. Auto-indexing means every cart faces the right way, precision heat sealing between 140°C and 180°C produces the same clean seal every time, and CRP child locks close automatically instead of relying on a tired operator at hour seven. Connected in line with filling and cleaning, the XB completes the production flow where no one touches a cart from fill to sealed bag.

Yes. It runs 0.5ml, 1.0ml, and 2.0ml carts, covering all 510 thread top-filled cartridges with press, screw, or click closures. On the packaging side, it’s just as flexible: standard and CRP bags, top- or bottom-seal, sizes from 140-170 mm long by 70-100 mm wide, and film thicknesses from 0.1mm to 0.15mm.

800+ units per hour, and that’s sustained throughput, not a burst number. The high-capacity autoloader and bag magazine mean the system rarely stops to reload, so real-world output over a full shift remains close to the rated speed. That combination of speed and low operator involvement is what makes the XB the best vape packaging machine for commercial-scale final packaging.

The XCB is the world’s first fully automated vape cartridge filling-to-packaging line. Empty carts go in one end; filled, capped, cleaned, QC-checked, and bagged carts come out the other at 1,600 packages per hour. One or two people run the entire vape manufacturing system, which is how it achieves the lowest cost per finished unit of anything on the market.

One cartridge at a time, in continuous flow. Each cart is sorted, filled, and capped by the X4 module, then moves by conveyor through automated vape cleaning and packaging until it exits as a sealed, distribution-ready bag. Processing in flow rather than batches is what keeps fill precision high and eliminates the bottlenecks where trays of product usually sit waiting between steps.

The economics, first: labor cost lands around 1.2 cents per packaged unit, with just one or two people on the line. Then the practicality: the modules sit on casters, the systems are enclosed, and utilities are simple, so the line launches in minutes rather than requiring facility buildout. And it’s built for multi-state operators, configurable for either pre- or post-packaging compliance testing depending on what each state requires.

Filling and capping, cart cleaning, quality control, and final bagging, all in one integrated line. The vape cart filling system sorts and fills each cartridge before capping it instantly, automated cleaning brings every cart to a GMP-ready fit and finish, in-line QC screens every unit rather than a sample, and the bagging module seals finished carts into standard or CRP packaging.

Direct machine-to-machine hand-off is the key. Carts flow from filling through vape cleaning and packaging without trays, jigs, or anyone touching the product between steps, which removes the labor, the contamination risk, and the handling errors that batch production carries. The line runs 1,500 to 1,800 units per hour, and everything that comes off it is finished and packaged, not waiting for another department.

Yes. The line accepts all 510-thread top-filled carts with press, click, or screw closures, and its resin compatibility is universal so that you can run distillate on Monday and live resin on Tuesday. The bagging end supports both standard pouches and CRP bags, meaning multiple SKUs and packaging formats can share the same vape cart manufacturing line.
