CFM-1800: Automated Cartridge Filling & Capping
The CFM‑1800 is built for high-throughput cartridge filling and capping in cannabis production — up to 1,800 cartridges per hour with ±1% fill accuracy. It features the industry’s lowest dispensing temperature for handling live resins and distillates, along with a powerful built-in press for reliable capping.
CFS-1800: Automated Cartridge Filling
The CFS‑1800 is a compact, high-throughput cartridge-filling system capable of up to 1,800 cartridges per hour with ±1% fill accuracy. Designed for live resins and distillates, it features the industry’s lowest dispensing temperature and a true-rod positive-displacement valve.

Frequently asked questions
The CFM-1800 includes an integrated 30,000-lb capping press for automated filling and capping, while the CFS-1800 is a compact system focused on filling only. Both systems fill 1,800 cartridges or infuse 1,500 pre-rolls per hour with ±1% accuracy and feature the same low-temperature filling technology.
Low-temperature filling means dispensing cannabis oil at the lowest possible temperatures (as low as 50°C) to preserve terpenes and prevent degradation. DDS systems operate at industry-leading low temperatures compared to competitors that require 70-80°C.
Both the CFM-1800 and CFS-1800 deliver ±1% dosing accuracy using true-rod positive displacement valve technology, ensuring consistent fill weights across every cartridge.
The CFM-1800 and CFS-1800 both fill up to 1,800 cartridges per hour with a single operator, producing 14,000+ cartridges per 8-hour shift.
DDS cartridge filling systems handle distillate, live resin, and other high-viscosity cannabis oils. The low-temperature filling capability is particularly beneficial for preserving terpenes in live resin products.
No. Both the CFM-1800 and CFS-1800 require only one operator to achieve full production capacity of 1,800 cartridges per hour.
Automated systems can reduce labor costs by 85% or more compared to manual filling. A single operator on an automated system can produce the same output as 6-9 manual fillers, generating annual labor savings of $300,000+ for mid-sized operations.
Yes. Low-temperature filling combined with rapid capping prevents oil from soaking into cartridge atomizers, which is a primary cause of clogging and leaking. The ±1% fill accuracy also prevents overfilling that leads to leaks.
DDS cartridge filling systems offer the option of a 3L or 6L 316L stainless steel reservoir, allowing operators to select the capacity that best fits their production needs and throughput requirements.
Yes. All DDS equipment is designed, engineered, and manufactured in Troy, Michigan, USA, providing faster support response times and easier access to service compared to imported equipment.
