Soft and Hard pod packaging

The newly designed CA3 monobloc machine for boxed, heat-sealed pods integrates an advanced dosing and compression system enabling even distribution of coffee inside the pod and a precise pod profile, and can easily connect to alternative end-of-line machines.

The newly designed CA3 monobloc machine for boxed, heat-sealed pods integrates an advanced dosing and compression system enabling even distribution of coffee inside the pod and a precise pod profile, and can easily connect to alternative end-of-line machines.

Makes the difference

The CA3 packs both soft and hard coffee pods in a modified and conditioned atmosphere, heat-sealing them in a protective outer envelope and finally packing them into cartons at a production speed of 250 pods/minute.

The production cycle of the machine is completed by an integrated, fully automatic, accessible and adjustable cartoning unit.

Prior to being inserted into a heat-sealed outer envelope, a controlled supply of nitrogen is introduced into a protective hood, where humidity and temperature are kept unvaried to guarantee optimum product quality.

Sustainability

The CA3 can handle compostable and recyclable materials (filter paper, envelope).

CA 3 Highlights

1.
Pre-assembled units for size changeover: greater speed and less downtime thanks to fewer on-machine adjustments.
2.
Production cycle controlled by integrated PC: ensures correct operation and final product quality.
3.
CA3 is a lubrication-free machine for cleaner processing.
4.
Can fully integrate a coffee grinder to complete production cycle.
The machine flexibility allows alternative packaging solutions: Hand removal for counted and stacked pods with outer envelope; Exit belt for pods without outer envelope foe end of line packaging; Exit belt complete with flip-flop and programmable count for random pod packaging in cartons or bags.
