Empowering Czech Customers to Build Efficient Canned Coffee Powder Packaging Lines

HOME > Case

Union Machinery's canned coffee powder packaging line successfully settles in the Czech Republic, solving production challenges in high-humidity 


In today's booming global food industry, for coffee producers, an efficient, precise, and stable packaging line is a key element to enhance competitiveness. In October 2023, we had the honor to collaborate with a large-scale coffee enterprise from the Czech Republic (anonymous at the customer's request), customizing and successfully delivering a canned coffee powder packaging line for it.

Customer Pain Points: Special Challenges in the Czech Market

As a hub for food manufacturing in the EU, the Czech Republic has strict requirements for equipment. The Czech enterprise focusing on high-end canned coffee powder faced two major dilemmas:
 
1.Poor Environmental Adaptability: When the original equipment was in continuous production, the humidity in the workshop often reached more than 80%, leading to frequent mechanical corrosion and electrical failures, with monthly downtime losses exceeding 50,000 euros.
2.Insufficient Packaging Accuracy: Due to the characteristics of coffee powder being prone to dispersion, the filling error of the existing equipment was ±3%, far exceeding the customer's required standard of ±1%, resulting in an annual raw material waste of 12 tons.

Breakthrough Solution: The "Triple Composite Armor" of Chinese Intelligence

After in-depth research on the Czech production environment, our company customized and delivered a full-automatic canning line, with core technological breakthroughs directly addressing the pain points:
 
Module Innovative Design Solved Pain Points
Moisture-proof and Anti-corrosion System Stainless steel one-piece forming body + nano hydrophobic coating Achieves IP66 protection level and acid mist tolerance
Filling Module Servo screw weighing + AI dynamic compensation Reduces the filling error from the original ±3% to within ±1%, saving 180,000 euros in raw material costs annually
IoT Hub Cloud diagnosis system Shortens the fault response time from 48 hours to 2 hours, and increases the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) to 92%
 
Of further note: Aiming at the common voltage fluctuation problem in Czech factories, a wide-voltage power module (170V-270V self-adaptive) is built-in, completely avoiding the shutdown risk caused by unstable power grids.

Achievements: From Cost Center to Profit Engine

Six months after the project was put into operation, the key indicators of the Czech customer have all shown significant improvement:
 
Moisture-proof performance: During 30 consecutive days of high humidity in Prague in spring 2024, the failure rate was zero.
 
Economic benefits: Canning efficiency has increased to 2,400 cans per hour, labor costs have been reduced by 40%, and the ROI cycle has been shortened to 9 months.
 
Quality improvement: The oxidation control level of coffee powder has been improved (residual oxygen content <0.8%), helping customers secure orders from high-end supermarkets.
 
"This production line is not just an equipment upgrade, but also our pass to enter the high-end EU market."
