Coffee has been around for hundreds of years and is one of the biggest industries in the world. Everyone has their favourite, from roasted beans to ground coffee and instant blends. Each product requires precise and reliable packaging to preserve freshness, flavour and aroma.

As demand grows, manual packing can become inefficient and inconsistent.

It doesn’t matter the type of coffee you’re packaging, whether it’s coffee beans, granules or single-serve portions, our machines offer the flexibility, accuracy and speed to meet your needs. This guide will explain the different machines available and which will work best for your operations.

Automatic pouch machines

Automatic pouch machines fill and seal granules, powders and liquids, making them ideal for packaging different types of coffee. These coffee packing machines automatically open, fill and seal each pouch, ensuring consistent weights and airtight seals for long-lasting freshness. If you’re after a premium presentation, a high production output and reduced manual handling, our automatic pouch machines come in two types:

• Pre-made – draws pre-made pouches and doypacks into the machine to be filled and sealed.
• Reel fed – creates different pouch types from a reel of heat-sealable film before filling and sealing.
