SOP Template Pre-Rolls King Kone 512

Standard Operating Procedure: King Kone 512 Pre-Roll Machine

Purpose:
To ensure efficient, consistent, and safe use of the King Kone 512 machine for producing pre-roll cones and tubes at scale.

Applies To:
Inventory techs, production staff, and supervisors involved in pre-roll manufacturing.

1. Pre-Use Checklist

• Machine Inspection: Confirm machine is clean and free from residue or buildup. Check for loose parts, frayed cords, or signs of wear.

• Supplies Check:

  • Pre-roll cones or tubes (make sure correct size trays are available)

  • Ground flower (proper grind consistency: medium-fine, no stems)

  • Tamping tools (short and long)

  • Collection tray

  • Alcohol wipes or spray bottle with 70% isopropyl for cleaning

• PPE: Gloves, hairnet, and apron must be worn before operation.

2. Machine Setup

1. Power On: Plug in and switch the King Kone 512 to ON.

2. Select Tray:

   • Match cone or tube size to the correct filling tray.

   • Lock tray securely into place.

3. Insert Cones/Tubes:

   • Load each cone or tube individually into the tray openings.

   • Ensure all cones sit flush with no leaning or gaps.

4. Load Flower:

   • Distribute ground flower evenly across the tray.

   • Do not overfill to avoid spillage or uneven packing.

3. Operation

1. Start Fill Cycle:

   • Activate the machine’s vibration platform.

   • Allow machine to run for 10–20 seconds or until flower settles visibly.

2. First Tamping Pass:

   • Use the long tamping tool to gently compress flower toward the base.

   • Do not overpack — the goal is to eliminate voids, not crush the material.

3. Top-Off Fill:

   • Add more flower if needed, especially in king-size cones.

4. Final Tamping:

   • Use the shorter tamping tool for the top to finalize a consistent pack and create a flat, even top.

5. Shutdown:

   • Turn off machine after each batch to prevent unnecessary wear or overheating.

4. Post-Fill Steps

• Twist or Fold Tops: Based on your brand SOP (twist, fold, or add a label top).

• Visual Inspection: Check for under- or over-filled cones, gaps, or uneven burns.

• Weigh Spot-Check:

  • Use a scale to verify that pre-rolls are within your target weight range (e.g., 0.95–1.05g for 1g joints).

  • Flag any units outside of tolerance for rework.

5. Cleaning and Maintenance

After Each Use:

• Unplug machine

• Wipe trays and vibration platform with 70% isopropyl

• Remove and clean tamping tools

• Let air dry before storing

Weekly Maintenance:

• Deep clean trays and motor platform

• Check screws and bolts for tightness

• Inspect motor function and noise level

• Replace worn tamping tools if edges are flattened
