SUPERIOR GRINDING FOR CAPSULES, PODS & PADS

Product catalog summary

Introduction
This document from Modern Process Equipment Corporation discusses the importance of superior grinding for coffee capsules, pods, and pads in both espresso and fresh brew applications. It emphasizes the need for precise grind performance to optimize brewing times and quality.

Key Specifications

Brew & Extraction Times: As extraction times decrease, the need for consistent grind design increases.
Grind Size Impact: Small changes in grind size can significantly affect brew strength.
Consistency: Consistent grind and density are crucial for maintaining brew quality and proper packaging.

Density Control

The MPE "Vortex" Normalizer ensures uniform coffee density, which is critical for high-speed pod filling and maximizing coffee weight in limited volumes.

Equipment Solutions

MPE offers roller-style grinders that provide the most defined particle distribution, essential for pod and capsule applications.
Models include IMD 669, IMD 889, and IMD 999.

Technical Data

Tables provide particle size conversions and bulk density conversions, essential for understanding the relationship between grind size and coffee density.
