Lab device for testing coffee capsules

When developing new coffee capsules for commercial production, precise control over filling and reproducibility is crucial for ensuring consistent quality. Traditional methods may lack the accuracy needed for such detailed work, leading to inconsistencies in the final product.

Achieve precise and consistent capsule testing

The AF 50 by Rychiger is a versatile lab device designed for testing and filling coffee capsules with high precision. Capable of handling a wide range of packaging types and products, it is particularly suited for feasibility studies, production tests, and small-series production runs. The device can fill up to 50 grams of coffee accurately, thanks to its auger with a servo motor that ensures reproducible filling quantities. Process parameters are configurable via an intuitive HMI touch panel, and the system can operate in semi-automated or fully automatic mode with an optional powder feed mechanism. Safety features include a two-hand operation start cycle and ergonomic design, making it safe and easy to use in a lab setting. Measuring 0.8 x 0.61 x 1.9 meters and weighing 350 kg, the AF 50 offers compact and efficient performance for lab-scale operations.
