CA3 Paper pods packaging
Machine overview
Makes the difference
The CA3 packs both soft and hard coffee pods in a modified and conditioned atmosphere, heat-sealing them in a protective outer envelope and finally packing them into cartons at a production speed of 250 pods/minute.
The production cycle of the machine is completed by an integrated, fully automatic, accessible and adjustable cartoning unit.
Prior to being inserted into a heat-sealed outer envelope, a controlled supply of nitrogen is introduced into a protective hood, where humidity and temperature are kept unvaried to guarantee optimum product quality.
