Erica Record - ICA CSV-30

• Vacuum packaging of whole bean coffee to preserve freshness and extend shelf life.
• Suitable for packaging various dry food products requiring an oxygen-free environment.
• Used in food processing facilities, coffee roasteries, and packaging plants.
• Ideal for products where aroma and flavour retention are critical.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly, but units are commonly designed for medium to high volume production, typically handling hundreds to thousands of packs per hour depending on bag size and product.

Bag sizes

Units of this type are often configurable for a range of bag sizes; this particular unit is noted for 200gm and 500gm coffee bags.

Packaging material

Typically uses pre-formed bags or roll stock compatible with vacuum sealing processes, often multi-layer barrier films.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, with voltage and frequency varying by region, typically 400V, 50Hz in Europe.

Vacuum level

Capable of achieving high vacuum levels to ensure optimal product preservation, typically below 10 mbar.

Footprint

A complete vacuum packing line, including conveyors and sealing stations, will require a substantial footprint, typically several metres in length and width.
