The working principle of the RN1S coffee capsule filling and sealing machine
All the filling and sealing work is processed on the round plate in the middle of the machine, which could move clockwise or anticlockwise.
- Vertical cup loading.
The cups are packed into the vertical capsule storage tube made of stainless steel. The diameter of the vertical coffee capsules storage tube is can be adjusted according to the cups, such as Nespresso cups, K-cups, Dolce Gusto cups, Lavazza Blue cups, Nespresso Vertuo cups, and other customized cups based on the customer’s requirements. The tube could contain over 300 Nespresso cups and 100 K-cups, so to save the loading work for employees.
There are 2 air cylinders controlling the cup loading precisely. It could load 50-70 cups of different types onto the round plate each minute. The diameter of the position on the round plate is designed to match the size of the cup. So the cups could be loaded smoothly and precisely.
- Device to detect the cups or capsules.
The second step is for the RN1S filling and sealing machine to detect if there is cups or capsules placed onto the round plate. If there is no cup or capsule detected in one of the positions of the round table, the detector would send this information to the machine and the filling and sealing process would not be carried out in that position.
- Filling the cups or capsules with powder
The RN1S coffee capsule filling and sealing machine is equipped with a servo motor drive auger filling system with a feeding screw. The function of the feeding screw is to obtain the coffee powder from the silo and transfer the powder to the feeding nozzle at the bottom of the screw through the rotation of the thread.
- Cleaning of the cups edge and tamping
The cylinder presses the powder suction barrel down to the laminating die. At this time, the powder head fits the mouth of the cup, and the powder in the cup is pressed tightly. The vacuum generator uses compressed air as the medium to create vacuum pressure, and vacuums the powder barrel to suck the powder away from the cup rim. This process ensures a clean filling and it ready for sealing.
- Film suction and cutting.
Film suction refers to the sucking the film to the cups while film cutting means to cut the film to fit the rim of the cups. Different types of film such as aluminium and plastic films could be used in the filling and sealing machine.
- Film detection.
The RN1S filling and sealing machine is also equipped with a film detection device which is used to confirm if the film is placed precisely to the cups.
- Θερμομόνωση
On the RN1S filling and sealing machine, the cylinder drives the hot sealing head down to press the cup for a short period of time. At this time, under the high temperature of the hot sealing head, the hot sealing coating on the front of the diaphragm melts and sticks to the mouth of the cup to complete the sealing.
- Cups weighed output by conveyor.
The RN1S filling and sealing machine could be equipped with a output conveyor or a scale. The cylinder drives the suction plate to suck the cups and delivery it to the scale for weighing or delivery to the output conveyor for further packing.
- Impurity detection.
Impurity detection of RN1S coffee capsule filling and sealing machine is to ensure that there are no cups in the round plate before entering the next station.
