Perfectly dispensed single-serve packets are practical and are enjoying increasing popularity, especially for fast coffee preparation. Compostable capsules made of paper, for example, and single-serve aluminum packs are becoming increasingly popular, although plastic capsules continue to lead in some markets. No matter which material your customers prefer or whether you want to manufacture single-serve packets with tea, nutritional supplements or liquid concentrate instead of coffee capsules, Optima will supply you with highly efficient and flexible standalone machines as well as high-performance turnkey systems.
Consumers are increasingly demanding sustainability, especially in the single-serve packaging sector. In addition, consumers like to have a choice between different packaging sizes. As a manufacturer, you have to meet these demands and at the same time face increasing cost pressures. That's a balancing act you can easily manage with Optima as your partner: Countless successful solutions for start-ups to major corporations attest to it!
The precise weighing and filling of valuable and sensitive products has been our passion for 100 years. We bring this incalculable wealth of experience to every single-serve application. Whether you want to fill capsules with fine powder, granulate or liquid, Optima will provide you with core processes tailored to your needs from a single source – from a standalone machine to a complete line, including filling, boxing, tray packaging and palletized options.

With your experience and our expertise, we will develop together perfect technologies tailored to your special requirements. What’s in it for you:
Liquid, powder or granule form – your product and requirements will determine the single-serve packaging. They are the benchmark for the entire process. For the best results and outstanding in-cup quality:
Listening is one of our greatest strengths. We take on board customers' experience, and turn them into a perfect customer-specific solution with them. That's how we achieve the best results.
We use the appropriate dosing technology depending on whether you want to fill up with powder, granules, liquid or flavorings. Solids can be gently compressed without changing product quality. The filling process in a controlled atmosphere ensures reduced oxygen levels. One hundred percent weighing guarantees continual self-optimization of the filling weight. Fluctuations in bulk density are immediately detected and corrected.
You can also be flexible with the material for lids: Our system processes laminates, aluminum foil, paper or filter materials from a stack or roll. Foil-saving modules ensure optimum use of material. Lids are securely sealed using thermal sealing, induction or ultrasound.
One of our most important innovations is the patented gap closer. It allows any setting pattern to be generated and the desired number to be dispensed. Every capsule has its own controllable shuttle so that the correct number of units is continuously conveyed to the correct place for the boxing machine. The best part: The system does not require a format change for a setting pattern thanks to the state-of-the-art linear motor system that reduces the footprint for the entire system as well. A format change of about 15 minutes is only required for changes to the final packaging.
Our systems erect the selected box flat blanks. The toploader carefully picks up the pre-grouped capsules and sets them into the packet – each rotated or not rotated, depending on the pattern. To separate the capsule layers, intermediary layers and or punched intermediary layers that secure the capsules can be inserted. If a box does not meet the high quality standards, the whole box is rejected; the good capsules can be returned and repackaged.
The filled boxes are grouped according to your requirements and packed in trays. While doing this, we pay attention to space-saving feed technology adapted to your production space as well as efficient shapes of the trays. One-item and two-item trays marked and labeled inline are possible.
Do you want to manufacture single-serve packets efficiently and with the highest quality standards? Do you want your system designed according to your requirements and have in the end the greatest flexibility in cartoning? We will be happy to help: At Optima, you have a single point of contact for your entire production line. Your requirements be met, and you will benefit from integrated interfaces and a minimum footprint.
We will be happy to send you the key facts on line competence for portion packs. You will receive an e-mail with a download link.
Efficiency all along the line: maximum setting pattern flexibility without format changes with the OPTIMA CBF cartoner
Although Optima was confronted during the course of the project with several challenges, for example, the conversion to aluminum capsules, the staff did their best to keep the project on track and always weighed up all possible options.
The OPTIMA CFL is a flexible filling and closing system for single-serve packets made from a range of different materials. It is available in various versions, from an entry-level model to a high-performance solution with an output of 2,000 capsules per minute. But no matter which CFL you choose, your production will protect the environment and save resources thanks to optimized foil utilization, very high dosing accuracy, reduced gas consumption and extremely low energy consumption.
With the compact CFL1, you will produce up to 360 capsules per minute
The CFL 10 processes up to 780 capsules per minute
The CFL40 processes up 2,000 capsules per minute
The OPTIMA CBF high-performance boxing machine offers maximum setting pattern flexibility and can be switched to other box sizes in no time at all. This is made possible by its state-of-the-art linear motor system that reduces the footprint of the entire production line.
Each capsule has its own controllable shuttle that facilitates individual groupings. This always allows exactly the desired number of capsules to be conveyed to the boxing machine.
The OPTIMA TMF casepacker pre-groups the boxes from the OPTIMA CBF and then packages them in one-item or two-item trays. The trays are labeled and marked inline. Developed for integration into production lines, the OPTIMA TMF works perfectly with other machines in the line.
Whether new on the market or contract filler, the OPTIMA CFR will give you a decisive edge: Thanks to its modular, configurable design, it can have production up and running in just a few months so that you can quickly and safely get capsules to the point of sale. It also takes up little space, because the control cabinet is built-in. The "balcony design" provides optimum accessibility and makes cleaning and maintenance easier. The required functional units can arranged how you want.
Cooperation with Optima was outstanding. The installers were real experts and well prepared. They set up the system within two days. So we could perform test runs and train operators.
