Roasted coffee beans and ground coffee for a coffee packing machine

Coffee Packing Machines for Quad-Seal Bags

Our coffee packing machines pack whole beans and ground coffee into quad-seal bags on the VGT, with a one-way degassing valve, gas flush and zipper as options. Beans are weighed by a multihead weigher; ground coffee is dosed by an auger filler.

Packages: quad-seal bags, with or without a back seal, valve optional

Coffee Packaging Challenges

Six points that decide whether a coffee line packs fresh, good-looking bags.

01

Fresh coffee gives off gas

Freshly roasted coffee keeps releasing CO₂ after packing. Without a way out, the bag swells and can burst its seals.

What we do · The VGT can be fitted with a degassing valve applicator, so each bag carries a one-way valve.

02

Oxygen and aroma

Air left in the bag dulls the aroma over the shelf life, especially for ground coffee with its large surface.

What we do · Gas flush is available as an option and is set up with your bag in the test.

03

Ground coffee dust in the seal

Fine grounds rise as the auger fills the bag and settle on the sealing area, where they weaken the seal.

What we do · A product settler is available, and every test checks what reaches the seal area.

04

Oily dark roasts

Dark roasts carry oil on the bean surface. Oily beans flow more slowly through the weigher and leave a film on the contact surfaces.

What we do · Flow through the weigher is checked with your roast in the test.

05

A bag that stands on the shelf

Coffee sells on the shelf. The bag has to stand square, look full and keep its four corners sharp.

What we do · Four sealed corners from the VGT, with a flat-bottom bag assembly and bag deflators as options.

06

Many roasts and bag sizes

Roasters run several roasts, grinds and bag sizes on one line, often in short batches.

What we do · The VGT has tool-free changeover, a quick film splice table and storage for 100 product recipes.

Recommended Packaging Route

Dose the coffee, form and seal a quad-seal bag with its valve, check it and pack it.

Define Sustainable Good Output

A coffee line runs at the pace of its slowest stage. A valve, gas flush or settler each adds a step to the bag cycle, and an auger runs at its own pace with fine grounds. We set the line target with your options switched on and confirm it in the test.

Count the good bags only: bags with a missing valve, grounds in the seal or the wrong weight do not count towards output.

Test With Your Coffee

Send roasted beans or ground coffee, your film and the details below. We run them before the final configuration is fixed. The test is free; you cover the shipping of your samples.

What to send

  • Coffee samples: beans or ground, and the roast

  • Target fill weight

  • Quad-seal bag size and film

  • Valve type, if you use one

  • Gas flush, zipper or flat bottom, if needed

  • Required good output

  • How many roasts and bag sizes the line runs

What the test checks

  • Flow through the weigher or auger

  • Weight result

  • Grounds in the seal area

  • Valve placement, if fitted

  • Quad-seal corners and bag shape

  • Sustainable output

  • Reject and stop causes

FAQ

Questions roasters ask about coffee packing machines.

Ask an engineer 

Whole beans and ground coffee in quad-seal bags on the VGT. Whole beans can also go into 500–1500 g spouted pouches; see Coffee Bean Spout Pouch Packaging.

Yes. A degassing valve applicator is available as an option on the VGT, so each bag carries a one-way valve. Tell us the valve type you use.

Gas flush is available as an option on the VGT. It is set up with your bag and coffee and checked in the packaging test.

A multihead weigher for whole beans and an auger filler for ground coffee. Both run with the same VGT.

Up to 80 bags/min as the machine maximum. With coffee, the output depends on the fill weight, bag size, film, dosing and options such as a valve or gas flush, so we confirm it in a test.

Yes, as options on the VGT: a zipper applicator, a flat-bottom bag assembly, and a Euroslot or round hole punch. Options are selected per project.

Start With Your Coffee
