STiR coffee and tea 47 Sponsored Content XTREME GRIND delivers premium quality with high operational efficiency, becoming a bench- mark in industrial coffee grinding. CE1: Compact, High-Speed Paper Pod Packaging with Unmatched Precision Designed to combine high output with a minimal footprint, the CE1 is IMA Coffee's newest solu- tion for paper hard pod packaging, engineered to deliver both performance and sustainability. With a production capacity of up to 450 pods per min- ute, the CE1 stands out for its remarkable speed, extremely compact design, and mechanical reli- ability, making it ideal for fast-paced, space-con- strained production environments. Its servo-driven dosing unit ensures accurate and repeatable filling, while the rotating cutting system guarantees clean, consistent pod profiles, optimising sealing and aesthetic quality. Special at- tention has been given to the compaction phase, enabling the production of pods with high density and uniform shape, which is essential for optimal extraction and packaging stability. Fully compatible with compostable filter paper and sustainable packaging materials, the CE1 rep- resents a new standard in eco-friendly, high-speed pod production — combining efficiency, preci- sion, and reduced environmental impact. The CE1 will be available for virtual viewing throughout the exhibition in line with CPVU, the new IMA's advanced vertical case packer, devel- oped to meet the coffee industry's most demand- ing end-of-line requirement, for a complete turn- key pod packaging line. CA3: Flagship Pod Packaging for Soft and Hard Pods Also on display, the CA3 represents the pinnacle of IMA Coffee's technology for soft and hard pa- per pods. Designed for high-volume production, CA3 combines flexibility and performance with advanced process control, ensuring the highest standards in soft and hard pod packaging. The machine accommodates different pod formats and sustainable materials for the outer envelope, enabling top performance across evolving market demands. TWINPRO: All-In-One Grinding and Packaging System for R&D and Small-Scale Capsule Production IMA Coffee Hub will also present TWINPRO, the unique system that integrates the IMA's know- how for grinding and packaging processes for small productions capacities, leading to no less than a tailor-made solution for small coffee cap- sule producers. TWINPRO allows for manual micrometric adjustment of the granulometry and quick changeovers of capsule formats and materi- als, enabling the testing of the optimal product brew, capsule configuration and material compatibility. Developed in collaboration with the IMA Open Lab — the Group's net- work of technological laboratories and testing areas dedicated to sustainable innovation — TWINPRO is the ideal tool for laboratories and R&D centers developing eco-compatible capsule systems, supporting the transition toward compostable and recyclable alternatives.
