Optima CFL 2-6

• Production of single-serve coffee pods for domestic and commercial use.
• Packaging of ground coffee into pre-formed or form-fill-seal soft pods.
• Manufacturing of portioned beverage products requiring precise dosing and sealing.
• High-volume production lines in the food and beverage industry for consistent product output.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, speeds commonly range from 300 to 600 pods per minute, depending on pod size and product characteristics.

Dosing system

Units of this type typically feature multi-head auger dosing for accurate filling of powdered or granular products.

Pod type compatibility

This model is designed for soft pods, often utilising filter paper for both top and bottom seals.

Automation level

Fully automatic operation is standard, encompassing processes from material unwinding to pod discharge.

Power supply

Typically requires a three-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz.

Compressed air

Units of this nature commonly require a supply of clean, dry compressed air for pneumatic components.

Footprint

A machine of this capacity will require a significant industrial floor space, typically several metres in length and width.

• What kind of maintenance is typically required for a machine like this?

  Regular maintenance for filling machines includes checking and replacing wear parts, calibration of dosing systems, cleaning of product contact areas, and inspection of seals and bearings. Electrical and pneumatic systems also require periodic checks.

• Can this machine be adapted for different pod sizes or products?

• What are the typical installation requirements?

• What is the expected lifespan of a used filling machine?

• Are spare parts readily available for Optima CFL series machines?

Filling machines remain sought-after on the secondhand market due to their durability and long operational lifespan. Buyers typically value models from established manufacturers known for robust construction. When purchasing used units, inspectors should verify seal integrity, calibration accuracy, and maintenance history, as these directly affect product consistency and line efficiency. Common strengths include straightforward mechanical design facilitating repairs and adaptability to different container sizes. Reliability and minimal downtime are frequently cited priorities among processors seeking cost-effective production solutions.
