CA1 Paper pods packaging

Machine overview

A soft pod packaging line in one single machine

The CA1 is a unique, high-speed machine able to produce soft pods in one single lane, counted, stacked and packed into a block bottom bag.
Auxiliary units for pod counting, stacking, pack forming, filling, closing and weight-checking all fit into little more than a 4.3 metre length layout, making the CA1 an efficient, comprehensive and extremely compact machine processing up to 800 soft pods/minute.
