Futurola KB300 Standard Filling Device | 1 1/4, Slim, King Size Cones

Where the Futurola KB300 Standard Filling Device Fits

This plate accepts four cone references across three named sizes. That coverage is the reason it exists as its own reference. The list is 1 1/4 at 84/26, Slim at 98/26, and King Size at both 109/21 and 109/26. Capacities run from 0.5 grams on the 1 1/4 up to 1.0 gram on a king size. What ties them together is the crown, 11 to 12.5 mm for this plate. Anything wider needs its own tooling. For a room that packs a half-gram joint and a one-gram joint, that is one plate instead of two. The part supplied is the device alone. Base, controller and power cord, spill tray, mix tray and unload station are each sold on their own. Standard uses the Plus unload grade. Coverage across four references is what this plate is for.

Running a King Size Cone Plate Next to Half-Gram Work

A king size cone plate earns its place when one room has to serve two price points. The 109 mm paper at a full gram is the retail staple, and the 84 mm at a half gram is the multipack. Both load from the same plate, so the changeover is a grind change rather than a hardware change. Grind is where the two formats actually differ. The half-gram cone wants a finer, drier mix because the shorter column packs faster. A king size tolerates a coarser grind and benefits from a longer vibration cycle before the knock. Futurola fit a 36 mm mix tray in the complete kit, and a bare device arrives without one. Weigh the first row after any grind change rather than assuming the plate self-levels. Keep the plate flat in storage and clean the funnels with isopropyl between runs. Resin in the taper quietly reduces fill weight and shows up as a light row. There is a scaling argument too. All three Standard formats are supported on a Knockbox 500.
