Capsule filling and sealing for lab purposes
Streamline your lab-scale coffee capsule production with a compact solution designed for precise filling and sealing, ensuring consistent quality and efficiency in your experimental batches.
Fills and Seals Coffee Capsules
The SB1 Lab from IMA Coffee is a compact rotary capsule filling and sealing machine designed for lab-scale operations. This equipment excels in precision dosing and sealing of Nespresso-compatible capsules, allowing versatile production of single-serve espresso, compostable, and aluminum coffee pods. The ergonomic design facilitates easy maintenance and cleaning, thanks to the pull-out dosing system that minimizes downtime. The SB1 processes up to 25 capsules per minute, handling both manual and automatic capsule loading through an integrated de-stacking unit. Equipped with a nitrogen flushing option, it ensures product freshness by operating in a modified atmosphere. Constructed with attention to material compatibility, the SB1 Lab supports a variety of lid materials, including aluminum, filter paper, and compostable options, suitable for use in coffee, food, beverage, and packaging industries. Its rapid size changeovers and minimal maintenance needs make it ideal for coffee manufacturers and research labs looking to innovate and streamline small-batch production.
