How Does a Capsule Filling Machine Work?
- Empty capsules are fed into the machine's moulds.
- A doser fills each capsule with an accurate weight of ground coffee.
- The coffee is tamped (pressed) to the right density.
- A foil lid is heat-sealed on top, often with nitrogen flushing to keep the coffee fresh.
- Finished capsules are ejected for packing.
Coffee Pods vs Capsules
Capsules are rigid cups (plastic, aluminium or compostable material) sealed with foil; pods are soft paper sachets of coffee. Each machine fills a specific capsule size and shape, so decide which brewers your customers use before choosing the capsule.
What a Coffee Capsule Business Needs
- Fresh roasted coffee and a grinder set for capsule extraction.
- Capsules and lidding foil that match the machine.
- Packing (boxes or bags), batch coding and dates: see batch coding.
- Food-business licensing and product standards: KEBS for packaged foods.
