Hard pod packaging system for coffee

Optimize your coffee production with a compact system designed for high-speed packaging of hard coffee pods, ensuring precise dosing and efficient heat-sealing while accommodating compostable materials to support sustainability goals.

Packs and Seals Coffee Pods Efficiently

The CA 6 from IMA Group is a cutting-edge coffee pod packaging machine designed to streamline coffee pod production with remarkable efficiency. It operates by tightly packing and sealing coffee pods in a modified atmosphere, then enclosing them securely for freshness. The machine excels with a compact, monobloc layout, ensuring minimal power consumption and high-speed output at 130 pods per minute. It handles various applications, including espresso, decaf, and flavored coffee pods, with the versatility to work with compostable and recyclable materials. The CA 6 features a clever modular design allowing quick size changeovers and reduced downtime due to pre-assembled units. The integrated PC control ensures precise operation and product quality, while a specially designed dosing unit guarantees uniform coffee distribution and compression within each pod. Offering lubrication-free operation for cleanliness and equipped with an optional exit belt for bulk packing, the CA 6 integrates seamlessly into continuous, high-speed production lines for the coffee, food, and beverage industries.
