Name: Rychiger - RD 06
Brand: Rychiger

Question 1

What is the Rychiger RD 06?

Accepted Answer

A rotary dosing machine for R&D and prototyping, up to 6 capsules per minute. This gives buyers practical information for matching capsule format, output and line configuration to the intended production plan.

Question 2

How fast is the RD 06?

Accepted Answer

The Rychiger RD 06 runs at up to 6 capsules per minute in normal production. At that speed, a single machine fills and seals 360 capsules per hour — approximately 2.52 kg/h at a 7 g fill weight. This output gives buyers a clear basis for sizing upstream product supply and downstream cartoning capacity.

Question 3

What is the RD 06 used for?

Accepted Answer

Testing new capsule formats, blends and packaging innovations in a compact bench-top setup. This gives buyers practical information for matching capsule format, output and line configuration to the intended production plan.

Question 4

Who is the RD 06 for?

Accepted Answer

The RD 06 is designed for R&D teams, product developers and capsule brands validating new blends, doses and formats before production investment. Its bench-top scale allows controlled trials with production-relevant dosing principles and minimal material use.

Question 5

Can I test new formats on it?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the RD 06 is built specifically for format flexibility at bench scale. Its rotary dosing mechanism accepts different capsule formats through tooling changes, so R&D teams can trial Nespresso®-compatible, Dolce Gusto®-compatible, K-Cup and proprietary formats on the same machine. Because it uses the same Swiss dosing principles as the production FS machines, fill parameters developed at bench scale transfer directly and reduce validation time when scaling up.

Question 6

How does it relate to the production FS machines?

Accepted Answer

The RD 06 uses the same dosing principle as Rychiger's production FS line, so recipes and capsule profiles developed at R&D scale transfer directly to the FS 150, FS 190 or higher-volume machines. This avoids re-validating a formula from scratch when scaling up, reducing launch time and development cost. dph Industries can support the journey from RD 06 sampling through to FS production equipment.

Question 7

Is it bench-top?

Accepted Answer

Yes—a compact bench-top configuration. This gives buyers practical information for matching capsule format, output and line configuration to the intended production plan.

Question 8

Is it flexible on formats?

Accepted Answer

Yes—flexible formats for innovation. This gives buyers practical information for matching capsule format, output and line configuration to the intended production plan.

Question 9

Is it for coffee or tea capsules?

Accepted Answer

The Rychiger RD 06 fills and seals capsules for both coffee and tea. On the coffee side, compatible formats include Nespresso®-, Dolce Gusto®- and Keurig® K-Cup-style capsules, depending on tooling specified at order. For tea, the machine handles fine-particle blends and powdered infusion mixes that flow consistently through its dosing system. Other applications include dry products that require precise portion dosing into a sealed single-serve format.

Question 10

Who makes the RD 06?

Accepted Answer

The Rychiger RD 06 is manufactured by Rychiger AG, a Swiss precision engineering company specialising in capsule filling and sealing systems for the coffee, tea and food industries. Rychiger has built its reputation on dosing accuracy, hygienic design and modular formats that allow the same machine to fill multiple capsule types — Nespresso®-compatible, Dolce Gusto®-compatible and Keurig® K-Cup-compatible formats, among others. In the Middle East and South Asia, Rychiger machines are represented and supported by dph Industries, which provides technical consultancy, commissioning support and access to regional after-sales service.
