Vertical Packaging Machine for Coffee Beans Packing adopts an automated assembly line design. After the empty bag is accurately positioned by the automatic bagging device, the quantitative filling of coffee beans is completed by the metering system, and then the freshness is optimized by the vacuum or nitrogen filling device, and the heat sealing technology is used to ensure the sealing of the packaging. Finally, the date coding and finished product output are automatically completed.

What types of materials are packaged by Vertical Packaging Machine for Coffee Beans Packing?

Coffee products mainly involve three types of material forms according to the processing method: granular, powdered and blocky. Vertical Packaging Machine for Coffee Beans Packing is suitable for the above different forms of materials.

Granular: such as roasted coffee beans, the particles are uniform, the surface is smooth, the fluidity is good, and the material is easy to discharge. Usually, a multi-head electronic combination scale is used for high-precision measurement (accuracy can reach ±0.5g), or a measuring cup is used for volumetric measurement, and the material discharge efficiency can reach 60-80 bags/minute, which is suitable for high-speed production lines.

Powder: such as ground coffee powder, the texture is fine, easy to agglomerate, and the fluidity is poor. It is necessary to equip the spiral discharge mechanism (screw diameter 30-50mm) with a vibration device to avoid blockage and powder spraying problems. The air pressure balance needs to be controlled during filling to ensure that the accuracy is stable within ±1g.

Block or mixture: such as sugary coffee blocks, flavored particles, etc., with large density differences (0.3-1.2g/cm³) and irregular shapes. A flexible discharge system (such as belt conveyor or robot gripper) needs to be customized, and multi-stage vibration screening is required to ensure that the material is evenly distributed and not broken, and the compatibility requirements are higher.

What are the packaging bag forms of Vertical Packaging Machine for Coffee Beans Packing?

The core goal of coffee packaging is to prevent moisture, oxidation, and UV rays to ensure that the flavor does not lose. Aluminum foil composite film or PE/PET composite material is usually used, which has good air tightness and strength. There are various packaging forms:

Prefabricated bags: pre-made, the open end is to be sealed, the structure is simple, the production efficiency is high, and it is suitable for automatic packaging. Commonly used in food, daily chemical and other industries, it needs to be used with a filling machine. In coffee bean packaging, prefabricated bags are suitable for mass production, can be quickly filled and sealed, and are suitable for mid- and low-end coffee bean products, saving packaging costs.

Flat-bottom bag: The bottom is flat, with strong uprightness, stable placement, and large capacity. It is mostly used for gifts, clothing and other goods that need to be displayed, with a neat and beautiful appearance. In coffee bean packaging, flat-bottom bags are often used for boutique coffee or gift packaging. They are placed upright for easy shelf display and improve product grade.

Four-seal bag: four-side sealed, fully enclosed structure, excellent moisture-proof and leak-proof performance. Commonly used in electronic products, medicines and other products with high requirements for sealing, with good safety. In coffee bean packaging, four-seal bags can effectively isolate oxygen and moisture, extend the shelf life of coffee beans, and are suitable for high-end or long-term storage products.

Pillow bag: The middle seam is sealed, the two ends are heat-sealed, pillow-shaped, and flexible. It is widely used in snacks, puffed foods, etc., suitable for high-speed packaging machines, and has low cost. In coffee bean packaging, pillow bags are suitable for economical products, with high production efficiency, and suitable for supermarkets and other distribution channels.

Vacuum brick bag: After vacuuming, it forms a brick shape, saves space, has strong barrier properties, and extends the shelf life. It is mainly used for foods that need to be kept fresh, such as meat and coffee, and the material is mostly multi-layer composite film. Vacuum brick bags can maximize the freshness of coffee in coffee bean packaging, and are suitable for long-distance transportation or long-term storage.

Gusseted bags: Add folds on both sides of the bag to enhance the three-dimensional sense and capacity, and facilitate stacking and display. They are often used for medium-sized coffee products, such as convenience stores or supermarkets. In coffee bean packaging, gusseted bags take into account both capacity and beauty, are suitable for the mid-range market, and are easy to display on shelves.

Self-supporting bags (with zippers): The bottom can be unfolded and self-supporting, and the zipper design is convenient for opening and resealing. It is suitable for boutique coffee, home or high-end market sales, and enhances brand image and user experience. Self-supporting bags combine convenience and quality in coffee bean packaging. The zipper design is convenient for multiple use, which is suitable for home or office scenes.
