OPEM CR 16P

• Filling and sealing coffee capsules for retail and commercial markets.
• Packaging powdered or granular food products into single-serve portions.
• Producing compatible capsules for popular coffee systems.
• High-volume production lines requiring precise dosing and sealing.

Typical throughput

For this class of multi-lane capping equipment, output can range from hundreds to over a thousand capsules per minute, depending on the number of lanes and product type.

Accuracy

Dosing accuracy is typically high, often within +/- 0.2 grams for units of this type, crucial for consistent product quality.

Capsule compatibility

Units are commonly configured for specific capsule types (e.g., Nespresso compatible plastic or aluminium) but may offer conversion capabilities.

Power supply

Industrial equipment of this scale typically requires a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Automation level

High-end capsule lines often feature significant automation, including automatic capsule feeding and discharge.

Footprint

Multi-lane capsule filling and sealing lines are substantial pieces of equipment requiring a dedicated production area.

• What maintenance is typically required for a capsule filling line?

  Regular cleaning, calibration of dosing units, and inspection of sealing mechanisms are standard. Wear parts such as seals and chains will require periodic replacement.

• Can this type of machine handle different capsule materials?

• What kind of product can be filled by this equipment?

• Is specialist installation required?

• What are the typical lead times for spare parts?

Laboratory capping equipment is generally regarded as reliable and durable when maintained properly. Buyers typically value machines offering consistent sealing performance and minimal downtime. When purchasing used units, attention should be paid to seal integrity, calibration status, and maintenance history. Common strengths include straightforward operation, compatibility with various container sizes, and longevity when regularly serviced. Buyers often prioritise machines from reputable manufacturers with accessible spare parts and technical support available in the UK market.
