One size paper stock
“One of my favorite features of the Aura X is the scissor system. We now only need to keep one size of paper in stock: the king size. Before, we had to stock three or four different cone sizes. Now, we just set the scissors to the length we want, and the system cuts it perfectly, vacuuming up the trim automatically.”

One cone fits all
“My team here at Seed & Smith runs everything from 1.5g joints all the way down to .35 dog walkers. The machine’s able to do all that with one cone size as the starting SKU. We’re not having to stock king size, 98s, and smaller cones. We keep one cone in stock, load the machine, and just dial where it’s going to cut. It allows us to run different SKUs much quicker than changing over parts to accommodate different sizes.”

Easily a 10x improvement
“In the early days when Seed & Smith first got rolling there wasn’t a lot of options for automation, especially in the pre-roll world. We were hand filling and using more analog methods, and on a good day with a full team we were probably seeing 1,200–1,500 units max start to finish. The major step came when we decided to move to a Hefestus machine. Now, with just a two-person crew, we’re seeing anywhere from 10,000 to 15,000 units a day start to finish; easily a 10x improvement upon what we were able to do early.”

Every joint the same
“I was at a friend’s facility and saw the Hefestus machine in operation. I was impressed with the efficiency, the minimal labor required, and the consistency—every joint coming out the same. That got my attention. After research and comparisons, we knew we wanted to purchase a Hefestus machine and get it running in our facility to greatly increase the automation we were lacking.”

The AutoBag: Cannabis Bag Filling Machine FAQs
What bag materials are compatible with the AutoBag automated cannabis packaging machine?
The AutoBag works with most heat-sealable bag materials commonly used in the cannabis industry, including Mylar, compostable film, and child-resistant options. Material thickness and seal strength should be reviewed before use.
Can I switch bag sizes easily during production?
Yes. AutoBag supports fast changeovers between bag sizes, allowing operators to package different SKUs without lengthy downtime or tool-intensive adjustments.
Does the AutoBag require a specific environmental setup or room size?
While the AutoBag is compact and designed to fit into standard production spaces, optimal performance is achieved in clean, climate-controlled environments with proper ventilation and electrical access.
How does AutoBag integrate with weighing systems?
AutoBag pairs seamlessly with Hefestus’s MultiBud-24 weighing system for automated, accurate flower distribution before bagging—helping to reduce overfill and ensure regulatory compliance.
Is the machine suitable for both small-batch and large-scale runs?
Absolutely. The AutoBag flower packaging device is scalable for both boutique brands and enterprise-level operations, with adjustable speed settings to accommodate lower-volume test batches or high-throughput production runs.
What kind of operator training is included with purchase?
Hefestus provides on-site or remote installation training, including system operation, cleaning procedures, and troubleshooting basics to ensure your team is confident from day one.
