Semi-Automated and Small Batch Coffee Filling Machines 

Coffee packaging for small companies or for small batch production can require semi-automated equipment. Our semi-automatic operation for augers for ground coffee and cup fillers for whole bean coffee can be as simple as adding foot switch for operator driven filling. These same machines are capable of growing with your production needs, easily integrating with a more automated solution when your sales exceed semi-auto capabilities.   

 

Our company is rooted firmly in the understanding of what it takes to grow from a small family-owned start-up to a leader in dry fill packaging equipment, and that includes having partners and support from our suppliers. We offer that level of support and partnership to every customer that purchases from Spee-Dee Packaging machinery and strive to build those long-term partnerships with every level of customer we can.
