High speed pod packaging

The CE1 is the new high speed paper pod packaging machine with exceptional process efficiency and flexibility, ensuring the highest product quality on the market.

The CE1 is the new high speed paper pod packaging machine with exceptional process efficiency and flexibility, ensuring the highest product quality on the market.

Fast, Reliable, Precise.

The CE1 combines top performance and top-quality filter paper pod achieving maximum production speed of 450 pods in outer envelope per minute, on three lanes.
Designed for high-performance production lines, this pod packaging solution brings efficiency with intelligent design, ensuring high output rates within a significantly compact footprint compared to market standards. 

An advanced coffee dosing system prior to mechanical compression guarantees even a uniform distribution of coffee inside the pod for excellent and consistent extraction.

An extremely precise and sharp-cut pod profile is guaranteed by an accurate rotating pressure cutting system.

The entire pod production cycle up to its packaging into the heat-sealed outer envelope is carried out in a modified and conditioned atmosphere thanks to the constantly controlled injection of nitrogen into a protective hood, where humidity and temperature are kept constant to guarantee the best product quality. The whole pod production process is equipped with a nitrogen recovery and recirculation system to minimise gas waste.

The modular design of the CE1 ensures outstanding accessibility for cleaning and maintenance and allows seamless integration with end-of-line machines, completing the packaging with a case packer and palletizer.

The machine’s movements are performed by independent brushless motors, allowing quick settings and modifications directly from the operator panel. This allows auxiliary modes activation, which facilitate maintenance, cleaning, and loading of packaging materials.

Sustainability

The CE1 is capable of handling monomaterials and paper-based materials for the outer envelope, and compostable materials for the filter pod.

Through to the optimization of the pod production process of the machine, a significant reduction in filter paper consumption per pod produced has been achieved (up to 20%).
