Coffee packaging lines

Coffee Packaging Machine

Pick the machine from the coffee pack you sell. Drip bag coffee runs on the SPM-T300. Whole beans and ground coffee in flat-bottom, side-gusset or zipper pouches run on a rotary premade pouch machine with a weigher or auger. Roll-film coffee bags run on a high-speed VFFS, and instant coffee sticks and sachets on the VFFS-320 / 420. Send your coffee and your bag: we return a test video within 3 working days of receiving the samples.

Quick answer

Which coffee packaging machine do I need?

Start from the coffee and the bag on the shelf. Premade pouches point to the rotary machine, roll-film bags to VFFS, and drip bags to the SPM-T300. Whole beans are weighed; ground and instant coffee are dosed by auger.

Freshness and output

What we check on a coffee line

These are the points we check with your coffee and bags before stating a speed and configuration in the quotation.

Degassing valve

Freshly roasted beans release CO₂. Premade bags usually come with the one-way valve fitted; on roll-film bags the valve is an option set on the drawing. Read more on coffee valves.

Nitrogen flushing

Nitrogen pushes out oxygen before the seal to slow staling. Tell us your residual-oxygen target; it changes the flush setup and the speed. See our nitrogen flushing guide.

Grind and dust

Fine grinds and instant powders need an auger matched to the dose and dust control at the bag mouth, because coffee in the seal area causes leaks.

Oily dark roasts

Surface oil on dark-roast beans can slow product flow on the weigher. We check hopper surfaces and discharge with your beans.

Film and pouch barrier

Seal temperature and time follow the laminate, often foil or metallized layers for coffee. Send the material spec or a sample. See coffee pouch seal failures.

Dose, bag volume and output

A 1 kg flat-bottom bag runs slower than a 250 g pouch, and nitrogen adds time per cycle. We state your rate after the sample test.

Common questions

Coffee packaging machine FAQs

Which machine is best for packing whole coffee beans?

For retail bags of whole beans in flat-bottom, quad-seal, side-gusset or stand-up zipper pouches, use a rotary premade pouch machine (SPM-200R, 250R or 320R) with a multihead weigher. For pillow or gusset bags made from roll film, use a high-speed VFFS machine with a multihead weigher.

Which machine is best for ground coffee?

Ground coffee is dosed with an auger filler. Put the auger on a rotary premade pouch machine for stand-up, flat-bottom or zipper pouches, or on a VFFS machine for pillow bags, sachets and stick packs. Fines and dust are part of the sample test because they can get into the seal.

Which machine makes drip bag coffee?

The SPM-T300 drip coffee bag packing machine doses ground coffee, forms and ultrasonically seals the hanging-ear filter bag, then seals it into an outer envelope. It runs 30–70 bags/min with a 90 × 70–74 mm inner bag and a 100 × 120 mm envelope.

Can the machine flush the coffee bag with nitrogen?

Yes, as an option. On the SPM-T300 nitrogen is flushed into the outer envelope before the final seal. The rotary premade pouch machine has a configurable gas-flush station, and gas flush is an option on the VFFS lines. Nitrogen is quoted as a separate item and needs a nitrogen supply on site; tell us your residual-oxygen target.

How is the one-way degassing valve added?

Premade coffee pouches usually arrive with the valve already fitted by the pouch supplier, so the rotary machine fills and seals them as they are. On roll-film VFFS bags a degassing valve is a named optional feature; we confirm the valve type and position with your bag drawing before quoting.

How many coffee bags per minute can a machine pack?

SPM-T300 drip bags: 30–70 bags/min. Rotary premade pouches: 10–60 bags/min (SPM-320R: 10–50). VFFS-320 / 420 sachets and stick packs: 10–60 bags/min. High-speed VFFS: up to 100 bags/min as a screening figure. Your rate depends on the dose, bag size and options such as nitrogen, so we state it after the sample test.

How much does a coffee packaging machine cost?

The price depends on the line, the model, the filler (multihead weigher or auger), the elevator and options such as nitrogen, coding or a zipper opening device. Every quotation is itemized so you can compare each part. Send your coffee, bag size and target output for a quote.

Can I test my coffee and bags before ordering?

Yes. Sample testing is free. Send your coffee and your bags, pouches or film; we send a test video within 3 working days of receiving the samples.

Are the coffee packaging machines CE marked?

Yes. SPM-T300, VFFS-320, VFFS-420, VFFS-320S, VFFS-420S and the SPM-200R, 250R and 320R rotary machines are CE-marked under Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC (EN ISO 12100, EN 60204-1, EN 415-1). The technical file was reviewed by UDEM, certificate M.2024.206.C100050, valid to 2029-04-25.

What is the lead time and warranty?

Lead time is 14–40 days from deposit, and 28 days for the standard SPM-T300 drip bag machine. Warranty is 12 months from machine receipt, with remote support first and on-site visits on agreed terms.
