Futurola KB300 Slender Filling Kit | Dedicated 98/26 Plate + Mix Tray

What the Futurola KB300 Slender Filling Kit Is Cut For

Slender Reefer is a narrower cone than it looks on paper, and this kit is the tooling built for it. That paper holds close to 0.6 grams. The 98/26 figure alone does not identify the paper, so check the format name on the pack. Slender formats need dedicated slender filling devices. That is the whole reason this kit exists as a reference separate from the Standard one. What ships here is the filling device plus a mix tray. The kit is those two parts, with a shipping weight of 12 lb. The reference is F01-KB300-02-02-V3, the V3 revision of this kit. A Knockbox 3 base, controller and power cord, and spill tray all sit outside the bundle. No unload station is part of this bundle.

Grinding and Packing a Slender Reefer Cone

A slender reefer cone is the fussiest format in the range to fill well, and the bore is why. Material has to pass a narrower throat, so anything coarse bridges and the cone finishes light. A slim paper hides an underfilled cone better than a wide one, which makes the problem easy to miss. Weigh a row, not a cone. A single light cone looks like noise, while a light row tells you the grind is wrong. Run a fine grind here and let the vibration cycle do the packing rather than the hand. The mix tray matters more at this size than at any other. Futurola offer the slender tray in two sizes, 18 mm and 36 mm, matching the cone diameter. Both tray sizes suit the slender format. Maintenance is short and it pays. Isopropyl through the funnels between runs keeps resin out of the taper, where it costs fill weight. Store the plate flat, because a warped slender plate loads the outer rows short. One advantage worth keeping in mind: this cone size also runs on the Knockbox 500.
