12. How Does Coffee Pouch Machine Work To Keep The Freshness Of The Coffee Beans?

One of the important tips to keep the freshness of the coffee beans during the packaging process is to keep the residual oxygen level low. All coffee beans are sterilized and roasted before packaging. When the roasted coffee beans are in the package, if the oxygen content in the bag is reduced, the freshness of the coffee beans will be greatly improved.

How To Reduce The Oxygen Level Low In The Pouches?

After research, the most effective way to maintain the freshness of coffee beans is to use modified atmospheric packaging or nitrogen gas flushing. This packaging method mainly replaces the remaining oxygen by filling the belt with a sufficient amount of nitrogen during the packaging process of coffee beans.

What Is The Nitrogen Gas Flushing System For The Coffee Pouch Machine?
