Engineered for Commercial Throughput and Reliability

For commercial coffee roasters and growing local coffee shops, the expansion into single-serve pods is a critical move to maximize market share and brand visibility. The Gorby 2000 (GBY 2K) is engineered precisely for this commercial environment, transforming your operation with a fully automatic k cup filling machine designed for consistency, efficiency, and significant output.

Building on the robust foundation of the GORBY 1000, the GBY 2K delivers an expected production rate of 1,550 pods per hour. This level of automation means higher production volume with reduced labor costs—a direct boost to your bottom line.

The GBY 2K’s design is centered around continuous, high-volume operation. Its principle components include:

  • Large Capacity Funnel
  • De-nester
  • Pod Unloader
  • Added Control System

“The Gorby concept packages coffee that is amazing. The smell is divine and it’s as smooth as silk. I grab my cup, pod and head to our staff lounge and the few minutes I steal, enjoying a bit of coffee, are heaven on earth. I’ve tried several blends of coffee made on this machine and the robust flavor leaves me wanting another cup.”
– Sara Svira

Capacity & Flow: Minimizing Downtime

Minimizing machine stoppage for refills is crucial for achieving your target throughput. The GBY 2K excels here:

  • Expanded Coffee Capacity: The stainless funnel and acrylic cylinder collectively hold a total capacity of 22.5 lbs of coffee, including an additional 15 pounds from the new funnel.
  • Guaranteed Flow: A heavy-duty vibrator is integrated to actively aid the movement of coffee, preventing bridging and ensuring a smooth, consistent delivery to the dosing mechanism.

Automated Pod Management (De-Nester)

The De-Nester manages the empty pod supply with mechanical precision, ensuring the filling cycle never lags:

  • High-Volume Feed: A DC motor-driven cam precisely de-nests a pod from each of its four columns of pods into a pod holder.
  • Standby Supply: The total pod capacity is approximately 200 pods.
  • Visibility: A small control panel provides the operator with essential status information.

Clean and Fast Evacuation (Pod Unloader)

The efficiency of the automatic k cup filling machine is maintained post-fill by the Unloader system, which rapidly clears the completed pods:

  • Powerful Transport: Filled pods are transported via a powerful, user-provided vacuum system.
  • Batch Collection: Completed pods are collected in a fiber barrel that holds approximately 600 filled pods.
  • Cycle Synchronization: Controls ensure that filled pods are vacated and immediately replaced with empty pods, with the vacuum active specifically during turntable motion.

Dual Control System for Seamless Operation

Reliable automation at high speeds requires a dedicated control system. The GBY 2K uses a second PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) to manage and synchronize the newly added automation components.

  • Dedicated Diagnostics: An added control panel is used to perform various housekeeping options as well as to display error conditions, facilitating swift maintenance.
  • Operational Flexibility: For maximum utility, the machine can be reverted to standard GBY 1000 operation by simply disconnecting the control cable.

The GORBY 2000 is more than an automatic coffee pod filler; it is an integrated production solution designed to help your brand capture the growing single-serve market with speed and consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What is the expected production throughput of the GBY 2K?

G-Pods

The demand for single-serve beverages is growing dramatically and is expected to keep growing by at least 30% a year (market study). This growth has created a problem. Firstly, coffee quality is being threatened by the process of mass distribution. Second, the BILLIONS of single serve pods sold annually are creating a huge amount of waste, and that’s a problem. Fortunately, we have the answer! 100% degradable and compostable G-Pods sealed fresh locally at your favorite coffee shop.
