We've seen many businesses transformed by the efficiency increases and throughput gains that result from automating their packaging process.

We recommend 5 main types of packaging equipment for coffee roasters and producers.

1. Pillow bagIf speed is your top priority and your bag style does not deviate from a simple fractional pack(PILLOW BAG), you can’t go wrong with a CONTINUOUS MOTION VFFS MACHINE. Continuous motion machinery offers incredible packaging speeds

2. Flat bottom/quad seal bags.

A versatile intermittent motion VFFS machine is a solid pick for most coffee producers who seek to package their product into the iconic FLAT BOTTOM/QUAD SEAL bag types which are standard in the industry. You will sacrifice some speed when choosing an intermittent machine but will gain the flexibility to create more complex package styles.

3. Pre-made pouch

Just want to automate the filling and sealing of your preformed coffee pouches? This is an easy one: Keep it simple with a PREMADE POUCH FILL AND SEAL MACHINE. This equipment is easy for novice operators to learn and quick to set up. And if you have multiple bag sizes, you're in luck: Changeover takes a MATTER OF MINUTES.

4. Stick packs

A multilane STICK PACK MACHINE is perfect for packaging ground or powdered coffee products into long, narrow single-serve packs. Because of the multilane setup, your throughput can reach up to 1,600 bags per minute! Don't need nearly that much? Opt for fewer lanes and a smaller model.

5. Bag in bag

A BAG-IN-BAG machine is what the doctor ordered. This machine is essentially two intermittent packaging machines stacked on top of one another: The top machine forms, fills, and seals the smaller fractional packs which are then automatically counted and dropped into the machine below, which forms, fills, and seals the large outer bag.
