Natural Products + Specialty Coffee Shows
Hello! We’ve already cruised through January and now there's another Super Bowl in the history books...
Product, Process, and Packaging News:
Come early March, Logical Machines will share a booth at the Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, CA with Crystal Vision Packaging. CVP specializes in customized packaging solutions across a variety of industries. If you’re in the area, between 6-9 March 2019, stop by Booth 3893.
In April 2019, Logical Machines will be alongside Cleveland Equipment & Machinery, experts in economically-priced packaging process systems, at the Specialty Coffee Expo in Boston, MA from 11-14 April 2019. It’s always a great trade show that’s produced by the Specialty Coffee Association, a.k.a., SCA, which was established in January 2017 as a result of the unification of the Specialty Coffee Association of America and the Speciality Coffee Association of Europe.
Logical Q&A: In advance of the upcoming SCA Specialty Coffee Expo:
Q: “I’m hand-scooping roasted coffee into coffee bags. How many bags of roasted coffee can I fill with a Logical Machine?”
A: If, for instance, you’re filling two 12 oz. bags per minute, by hand-scooping and hand-weighing, of roasted coffee per minute, it’s possible to increase the speed & accuracy of your bagging by upwards of 10x...which leads to an increase in your production and sales...with a Model S-4 - The Perfect Coffee Filling Machine.
