A method of manufacturing a plurality of prerolled cones containing a smokable product using a measuring station and a tamping station, the measuring station comprises a vibratory bowl, a weigh bowl, a load cell, and a puck, the tamping station comprises an upper tube assembly comprising a plurality of tight tubes for containing the plurality of prerolled cones, a lower tube assembly comprising a plurality of loose tubes for containing the plurality of prerolled cones, and a seating platform, the method comprises:
- receiving the smokable product into the vibratory bowl;
- metering the smokable product from the vibratory bowl to the weigh bowl;
- measuring the smokable product in the weigh bowl using the load cell;
- determining that the smokable product in the weigh bowl is within a predetermined tolerance of a predetermined amount of smokable product;
- moving the smokable product from the weigh bowl to a plurality of cavities within the puck;
- transferring the puck to the tamping station;
- stacking the upper tube assembly on the lower tube assembly and the puck on the upper tube assembly;
- and
- vibrating the upper tube assembly, the lower tube assembly, and the puck with the seating platform to tamp the smokable product in the plurality of cavities into the plurality of prerolled cones.
