THE CONCEPT Saeco Vending & Professional has always been at the forefront in the development of brewing groups and automatic systems for use outside the home. Technology, research and attention to new consumer trends have led Saeco Vending & Professional to develop the new ‘Vending Capsule System’. The new freestanding automatic machines Atlante Evo CapBean and Cristallo Evo Capsule use a completely automatic system for capsule management. These vending machines represent just the start of further developments in the capsule systems sector: the launch of a whole new range of machines is...

THE EXCLUSIVE CAPSULE SYSTEM The ‘Vending Capsule System’ of Atlante Evo CapBean and Cristallo Evo Capsule is smart, simple and reliable. It can direct the capsules towards the brewing unit in a single, simple operation: just load the capsules in the relevant container, no other manual operation required. The machines are equipped with a capsule search/orientation rotor, a delivery system and a dedicated brewing unit, that make it easy to manage the capsules effectively. Moreover, the vending machine is versatile, thanks to its powder containers (4-5 in Atlante Evo CapBean, 4 in Cristallo...

THE CAPSULES CONTAINER The capsule container was designed to contain the highest number of capsules of the chosen blend and satisfy the highest demand with minimum maintenance. Its funnel shape culminates in the search/orientation system: this is the perfect shape to ensure that the machine continues working to the last capsule present in the container. It is also extremely practical to load: simply tilt the container and fill it with the capsules. If necessary, the container can also be easily and swiftly emptied: just loosen the knob and tilt it by up to 90°, letting the contents...

CAPSULES LOADING PHASE The capsules container can be easily tilted (by 35°) towards the operator to facilitate loading, and then tilted back for operation. No retiming of the rotor at the base of the container is required. The container can then be filled randomly: simply open the boxes and empty the capsules in the container. The operator shall therefore be able to carry out this operation quickly and easily; the system shall then bring the capsules automatically in the right position.

THE SEARCH/ORIENTATION SYSTEM The capsule search and orientation system is placed at the bottom of the container. The main rotor revolves counter-clockwise and is paired with a screw. The screw moves the capsules around until one finds itself perfectly positioned to fall through the opening at the base of the rotor. This mechanism was fine-tuned in terms of dimensions, tolerances and speed, and ensures that the capsule proceeds to the next stage only when it is correctly positioned in a vertical direction.

THE CAPSULE CONVEYOR AND THE BUFFER Once it is correctly positioned, the capsule slides towards the bottom of the rotor, into a conveyor that brings it to a “waiting area“. Here as many as four capsules are automatically positioned, with the first ready to be placed in the brewing unit. The buffer is controlled by two microswitches: one that detects the first capsule and the other that detects the last one. When the first capsule is used, the remaining three move forward by gravity and the microswitch signals the search and orientation system the request for another capsule, that shall be...

EASY MAINTENANCE The Saeco Vending Capsule System requires the least maintenance. Both the search system and the conveyor can be opened easily during service operations, to access all the internal components, without needing to remove the whole system. The majority of components are made of clear plastic, so that the operator can always monitor what is happening inside the individual elements.
