Packing coffee powder starts with measuring bulk behaviour on your floor, not copying another factory’s HMI recipe. For Coffee, plan around 0.25–0.45 g/ml bulk density and 8–15% roast oils as the primary materials variables. Recommended metering is servo auger with 10–30 rpm agitator (fill code AUGER). YugMach publishes configuration prices from Mathura so buyers get price transparency before GST; final figures still follow pouch size, film, and options. On coffee lines, seal development usually begins near 150–180°C with dwell in the 0.4–1.0 s band, then moves after peel tests on your laminate lot. Gas or barrier target context is <1–2% residual O2. Typical films include Metallised PET/PE, Aluminium foil laminate, Valve-compatible laminate. Pouch bands commonly cover 50g–100g, 200g–250g, 500g. Planning throughput sits near 1,200–2,400 when product, film, and changeovers cooperate. Critical failure modes unique to coffee powder: hygroscopic grind; degassing valve crush; abrasive flight wear; aroma cross-flavour; static fines on seals. Design SOPs and spare kits around those five, not around generic ‘packing machine maintenance’ checklists. Keep free-fall near 400 mm or lower when fracture or dust generation is a risk for this SKU family. Where gas flushing applies to coffee powder, a practical starting purge is about 0.5 L per cycle, then trim using residual oxygen or sensory shelf tests. Do not chase brochure speeds while residual oxygen drifts above the claim window — rancid returns cost more than a slower jaw cycle. Weight control economics for coffee: about 3 g average giveaway at 2,000 packs/hour wastes 6 kg/hour of product. Multiply by your factory cost per kilogram to size the payback for better tooling, more heads, or closed-loop checkweighing. Calibrate weekly with certified test weights and after any collision on the filler frame. Mechanical envelope: expect on the order of 4.0 kW class connected load depending on servos and heaters, and roughly 6 bar clean dry air if actuation is pneumatic. Film path width planning around 140 mm face/web context is a common starting point for mid retail SKUs, but collar selection must match the actual formed cross-section. Wrong collars score film, wander longitudinal seals, and create scrap that looks like a temperature problem. Coffee grind PSD is the silent specification: a 200 µm shift after a grinder maintenance can change auger delivery by several percent without any HMI change. Chicory blends absorb moisture differently from pure roast — write separate RH and RPM cards. Valve SKUs fail when jaw pressure is set for non-valve foil; crush shows as flat valves and bloated packs later as CO2 cannot escape. Fines extraction airflow should be balanced so it does not steal product from the fill stream; over-suction creates systematic underweights. Coastal plants should inspect hopper welds quarterly for crevice staining from coffee acids plus salt air. Housekeeping for coffee powder must match chemistry: wipe intervals, extractor filter changes, and elastomer replacement differ from a dry rice demo line. Never hose electrical cabinets. Dry contact parts fully after wet cleaning before restart. Document screw RPM or weigher combination limits, seal temperature, and flush settings on a laminated card at the machine for each coffee SKU. Factory acceptance should include at least three steady hours on the hardest coffee SKU with agreed scrap and weight or count tolerances. Record film lot, ambient °C, and RH — monsoon air in North India changes powder flow and snack oil feel. Train two operators and one fitter before sign-off; demand drawings, pneumatic diagrams, and password policy with the machine. Spare parts with lead time risk for coffee lines include sealing jaws or Teflon, forming collars for each width, and filler-specific wear parts (auger flights, cups, weigher buckets, linear pans, wrap belts, or count sensors as applicable). Buying the cheapest film that ‘almost seals’ at 150–180°C usually raises scrap more than the reel savings. Commercial comparison: use published prices for price transparency, then insist on trials with your coffee powder and your film. Numbers that decide the purchase are density, 8–15% roast oils, peel strength, giveaway or reject rate, and sustained packs per minute — not marketing adjectives. GST is extra on published tags; nitrogen, extra heads, and special MOC change the final configuration cost. For coffee, revisit film COF if packs slip on inclined outfeeds; a 0.05 COF shift from a new reel lot can raise fall-over scrap without any machine fault. Operators packing coffee powder should know the abort sequence for film break and hopper empty — untrained clears are a top source of bent jaws and cut fingers. Keep a scrap Pareto for coffee with categories for seal, weight/count, and print; fund fixes for the tallest bar first. When ambient RH jumps 15–20 points, re-check the first 50 packs of coffee powder before releasing the shift’s production. Align purchasing of film and spare collars for coffee so a width change does not strand the line waiting for tooling. For coffee, revisit film COF if packs slip on inclined outfeeds; a 0.05 COF shift from a new reel lot can raise fall-over scrap without any machine fault. Roasteries that gas-flush coffee should budget cylinder logistics: a busy 30 packs/min foil line can empty standard nitrogen cylinders faster than purchasing expects. On-site generation helps only if dew point and purity are monitored. Chicory percentage above roughly 30% often needs its own screw RPM map. If you add a one-way valve applicator upstream of the jaws, include valve presence sensors — missing valves on ‘valve SKUs’ create bloated carton claims weeks later.
