SINGLE SERVE
SENZANI BREVETTI
LIMITLESS POSSIBILITIES
SENZANI BREVETTI HAS UNVEILED 0MNIA, REPRESENTING A NEW GENERATION OF AUTOMATIC COFFEE CAPSULES PACKAGING MACHINES, WITH A FOCUS ON CUSTOMISATION IN A COMPACT FOOTPRINT.
T
he single-serve coffee market is constantly evolving and pivoting. Coffee brands and copackers need to produce capsules and pods for a variety of brewing equipment to reach the entire market and fresh packaging formats are required for marketing, distribution, and diversification. With more than 65 years of experience in packaging equipment and as a forebearer in coffee capsule cartoning, Italian company Senzani Brevetti has launched 0MNIA, an all-in-one cartoner to meet demands for customisation. “We call this machine ‘0MNIA’ because it’s very flexible, capable of packing many types of capsules into different styles of boxes in interesting configurations,” says Adele Rava, Marketing and Sales Area Manager for Senzani Brevetti. “Today, the market may prefer a certain type of box and capsule configuration, but tomorrow it could be something new, so our customers need a cartoner that is flexible and can support their needs.” 0MNIA is capable of single or multi-layer configurations with or without honeycomb sheets and interlayer pads in two-by-two configuration. It can arrange capsules in flip-top closure cartons, standing, alternated, or nested configurations, in tubes or sticks, and three-by-three or four-by-four boxes. It can pack many different types of capsules, including popular formats like Nespresso and

Nespresso Vertuo, Caffitaly, Keurig, and Lavazza blue and A Modo Mio. Rava says 0MNIA’s flexibility has been well received since the machine’s launch in 2020. “The capsule market is growing quickly, so large roasters and capsule producers need to continually expand and increase their number of production lines – and each time they do, space becomes a bigger problem,” she says. “This machine is a very compact one, which the market appreciates a lot.” Despite a small footprint of 1.6 by 3.9 metres, 0MNIA is capable of high throughput. With an infeed speed up to 800 capsules per minute, the machine can prepare up to 80 cartons per minute, depending on the desires of its user.
