Coffee Packaging
PFM offers coffee producers a complete range of flexible packaging machines designed to preserve aroma, freshness and product quality throughout the supply chain. Easy to operate and highly flexible, PFM solutions allow fast format changes while ensuring reliable sealing and consistent packaging performance.
Example of coffee products:
Whole bean coffee
Whole beans release CO₂ and are highly sensitive to oxygen, requiring aroma protection and durable packs resistant to abrasion and stress. PFM VFFS solutions with multihead weighing, gas flushing, and optional valve and reclosable formats help preserve freshness and ensure pack reliability.
Ground coffee
Ground coffee generates dust and oils that can affect sealing while accelerating aroma loss. PFM VFFS systems with auger dosing, controlled sealing conditions, and optional gas flushing support clean processing and consistent hermetic packaging.
Instant coffee
Instant coffee is highly hygroscopic and prone to caking and aroma degradation when exposed to moisture. PFM powder-oriented VFFS packaging with tight sealing control and reclosable stand-up formats helps maintain product stability and shelf life.
Coffee capsules
Rigid capsules require accurate counting and packaging resistant to puncture while ensuring barrier protection and multipack flexibility. PFM flow-wrap and VFFS solutions with controlled feeding and reclosable pouch options enable efficient and reliable packaging.
Advanced flexible packaging for the coffee industry
Coffee packaging requires precise control of aroma, gas release and moisture protection. Roasted coffee naturally releases CO₂ after roasting, while oxygen exposure and humidity can quickly compromise flavor and freshness. Different formats such as whole beans, ground coffee, instant powders and capsules introduce specific challenges including degassing management, dust control and repeated consumer opening.
PFM packaging technologies address these requirements through controlled dosing systems, high barrier compatible packaging formats and precise sealing control. By integrating vertical and horizontal packaging platforms with weighing and dosing solutions, PFM enables stable production, product protection and flexible packaging configurations tailored to modern coffee markets.
Precision Dosing and Weighing Integration
Vertical packaging machines integrate auger fillers, linear systems and MBP multihead weighers to ensure accurate dosing for beans, powders and capsule multipacks.
High Barrier and Hermetic Sealing Performance
Controlled sealing parameters ensure tight and consistent seals that preserve aroma ensuring airtight seals even at high production speeds
Flexible Multi Format Packaging
PFM solutions produce pillow bags, block bottom bags, steelo formats, stand up pouches and multipacks, enabling producers to package different coffee formats on adaptable lines.
Powder and Dust Management
Machine designs and dosing systems reduce powder dispersion and seal contamination, improving uptime and packaging reliability for ground and instant coffee applications.
