High throughput capsule filling system

Achieve precise, high-speed capsule filling with versatility, ensuring product integrity for single-serve beverage formats.

Fills and Packages Beverage Capsules

The CR-4P EVOLUTION from Opem is an efficient capsule filling system designed to meet the demands of coffee and beverage manufacturers. Its linear system works with four lanes, enhancing speed and accuracy for high-volume single-serve production. This system integrates seamlessly into continuous operations, using an empty capsules feeding system with random feeding and a denester for stacked capsules. The screw dispensers are driven by a brushless servo motor, ensuring precise filling with an accuracy of ±0.2g. Capable of producing up to 320 capsules per minute, this system caters to espresso coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and Nespresso-compatible capsules.

Equipped with feedback-adjusted dispensers, four in-line weight controls, and rejection of out-of-tolerance capsules, the CR-4P EVOLUTION ensures quality assurance at high speeds. Automation features include two integrated packaging machines for capsules in single and/or double bags, with inert gas injection to maintain freshness. Ideal for food, beverage, and packaging industries, this equipment offers configuration flexibility and engineering support for seamless integration into existing production lines. Built with durable materials, it supports efficient energy use while maintaining the highest standards of processing and packaging.
