Unika Series Unika Series

Machine overview

Accurate dosing, superior efficiency, unique quality.

UNIKA is able to handle any capsule type available on the market, fed in bulk or stacked. The denester is a space-saving cost-effective solution to feed stackable capsules. The centrifugal unscrambler allows handling of all capsule types, stackable and non-stackable, granting high autonomy. A robotized depacker unit is available for Nespresso compatible aluminum stacked capsules only. Capsules can be closed at the top with aluminum film, micro perforated, filter paper, triplex coupled, PP and compostable lid. Filters and diaphragms can be inserted into capsules and on their bottom.
Accurate product dosing is made possible thanks to precise and extremely gentle product handling to suit a wide range of products to be filled – coffee with different densities, tea and soluble powders. Liquid flavor dosing is also possible.
The pull-out operating system significantly reduces line downtimes resulting in a great efficiency increase. The entire production process can easily be monitored by a single operator performing all operations on the front side of the machine. The unique ergonomic cantilever design assures great accessibility for maintenance, service and easy cleaning both from the front and from the back side of the machine.
According to the machine configuration, UNIKA is able to reach up to 600 capsules per minute.
