- Typical throughput
- For single-lane Nespresso-compatible machines of this class, output commonly ranges from 30 to 60 capsules per minute, depending on fill weight and product characteristics.
- Fill weight range
- Units of this type typically offer adjustable fill weights, often between 5g and 20g, to accommodate various coffee blends and desired strengths.
- Capsule compatibility
- This specific unit is configured for Alusense Aluminium Capsules. Machines in this category are generally designed for a particular capsule format, such as Nespresso-compatible, K-Cup, or Dolce Gusto.
- Power supply
- Typically requires a three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with specific amperage requirements varying by model and installed features.
- Compressed air
- Most capsule filling machines utilise compressed air for pneumatic operations, requiring a clean, dry air supply, typically 6-8 bar.
- Nitrogen flushing
- Units designed for extended shelf-life often incorporate nitrogen flushing, which displaces oxygen within the capsule before sealing.
- Control system
- Modern machines in this category commonly feature PLC control systems, often with a touchscreen HMI for operation and parameter adjustment.
