The Matrix Bag in Bag machine is showcased, highlighting its unique applications. The Elite Bag in Bag machine features two machines on a shared frame, packaging ground coffee in heat-sealable filter paper bags and over-bagging them in a larger plastic film bag. The machines operate independently, with touch screen controls for setting bag length and seal time.

The machine runs small bags of candy in the top section and larger clear bags in the bottom, with programmable ratios for bag counts. Another configuration runs ground coffee in filter paper bags, which are then over-bagged in clear plastic film. The machine features an auger filler for dispensing the correct amount of coffee.

In the Q&A session, Mark explains the direct transfer of bags between the top and bottom machines, ensuring seamless operation. The machine is versatile, capable of packaging products like tea, snacks, and pet food. It can run either the top or bottom section independently, and speeds depend on the product and film, with ground coffee running up to 80-90 bags per minute. The machine stands at 107 inches tall and can handle standard roll diameters of up to 14 inches. An all-stainless steel and washdown format is available.
