Nitrogen for packaging coffee capsules and pods
Borbone coffee, inimitable taste of Neapolitan coffee to the world
COFFEE BORBONE
Facility based in Caivano – Naples (Italy)
Founded over 20 years ago by Massimo Renda, Caffè Borbone is the third largest coffee producer single dose capsules and
pods after Lavazza and Nespresso. Currently the production is concentrated in Caivano in a modern facility of more
than 13 thousand square meters where 5 roasting lines allow the annual production of about 10,000 tons of coffee.
ISSUES TO SOLVE
Borbone Coffee is one of the leading producers of coffee pods
and capsules. Inside the pods, coffee is enclosed in a paper filter made
out of cellulose. The pods, not being self-protected, are
packaged in a protective atmosphere to retain the aroma.
In capsules, instead, coffee is enclosed in a plastic or aluminum casing
that allows you to store and retain aromas.
The capsules are packaged with nitrogen to eliminate oxygen.
ISOLCELL NITROGEN GENERATOR
THE SAFEST AND COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION
It was May 2012 when L'Aromatika, a company belonging to the group
owned by Borbone Coffee, after purchasing a nitrogen generator from one of
our competitors, decided to upgrade its plant by purchasing one of our
Generators capable of producing about 50 Nm3/ h of food standard nitrogen.
It is the beginning of the collaboration between Isolcell and Borbone Coffee,
a partnership that culminated in 2021 with the installation of the third group of
2D7 generators.
