Spee-Dee and Matrix have teamed up to create a new packaging line that enhances speed and accuracy for Chauvin Coffee. This family-run business in St. Louis, known for its specialty coffee blends and co-packing services, needed a solution to keep up with growing demand. They sought a simple, robust, and low-maintenance machine, finding their answer in the Matrix Morpheus servo-driven continuous box motion bagger.

Chauvin's new packaging line focuses on producing 1 to 2.5-ounce fractional pillow packs at increased speeds. The Matrix Morpheus, with its high-speed jaw system, ensures minimal dwell time for sealing, resulting in faster bagging. The continuous motion design offers smoother operation, better timing, and more consistent temperatures.

To achieve precise and reliable filling, the line incorporates a servo-driven auger filler from Spee-Dee Packaging Machinery. This filler is designed specifically for coffee and other dry particulates, providing repeatable filling cycles with exceptional accuracy.

The new system significantly boosts Chauvin's production capacity, allowing them to fill and pack up to 160 bags per minute, compared to the previous rate of 65 bags per minute. Spee-Dee's servo motors, known for their reliability and minimal maintenance, contribute to the line's impressive performance.

The combination of the Spee-Dee auger filler and Matrix Morpheus bagger not only enhances speed but also maintains high accuracy. The bags are then conveyed and accumulated for cartoning, with an offline check weighing system ensuring fill accuracy.

Chauvin Coffee has experienced a dramatic increase in production and efficiency with their new packaging line. The American-made equipment, backed by robust support staff, offers unparalleled performance and simplicity, making it a highly recommended solution for packaging needs.
