Caffè Borbone

In 2023, Tecnofer had the pleasure to develop a depackaging project for a company of recognized national and international importance, operating in the food sector. We are talking about Caffè Borbone, a company that, starting in Naples in 1999 as a small coffee roasting business tied to the Neapolitan coffee tradition, has become one of the leading producers of single-serve coffee pods and capsules within just a few years. The company produces coffee in various blends and formats, providing a wide and high-quality selection to its clientele.

The company's focus on issues such as sustainability, supported by important awards, as well as attention to the local area and people, allowed our two companies to come together and develop a shared project that goes precisely in this direction.

The Project

A customized depackaging system was developed for the client with the aim of recovering the packaged waste that is periodically generated during the production phase. The material to be processed was mainly of two types:

  • Rigid plastic capsules, individually packaged in laminated foil;
  • Filter paper pods, individually packaged in laminated foil.

Tecnofer depackaging system thus allowed the company to significantly reduce the costs associated with the disposal of packaged waste products. An important aspect was the valorization of this waste, as the components are separated for potential recycling.

The plant was installed directly within the client's facilities, in an area dedicated to this type of processing, and is centrally managed by Tecnofer automation system. This allows the client to independently manage the plant and decide, as needed, the type of processing simply by choosing the "custom recipe" associated with the material to be processed. The automation is equipped with interconnection with the client's company management system, for bi-directional data exchange to enable the analysis of the system
