Constanta F5

• Producing individual tea bags for retail or hospitality sectors.
• Packaging granular or powdered products into small, sealed pouches.
• Forming and filling small sachets for samples or single-serve portions.
• Creating double-chamber bags for enhanced infusion or specific product separation.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 100 to 200 bags per minute, depending on bag size and product characteristics.

Bag format

Units of this type are typically configured for specific bag dimensions, often in the range of 40mm x 60mm to 50mm x 70mm for tea bags.

Power supply

Most industrial packaging machines of this nature commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz.

Footprint

Laboratory or smaller-scale production form-fill-seal machines typically require a floor space of approximately 2m x 1.5m, plus space for material handling.

Materials handled

These machines are designed to handle various filter paper materials for bag formation and granular products such as tea, herbs, or similar free-flowing items.

Automation level

Units from this era typically feature semi-automatic or automatic operation for bag forming, filling, sealing, and often include an indexing system for boxing.

• What kind of maintenance is typically required for a used FFS machine?

  Routine maintenance typically involves checking wear parts, lubrication, cleaning, and calibration of sealing jaws and dosing mechanisms. Regular servicing helps ensure consistent performance and extends machine life.

• Can this machine be reconfigured for different bag sizes?

• What are the typical lead times for spare parts for older models?

• What are the typical safety features on this class of equipment?

• Is specialist training required to operate such a machine?

Laboratory form-fill-seal machines are valued for their precision in packaging powders, liquids and granules into sachets and pouches. Buyers typically appreciate their compact footprint and reliability when maintained properly. When purchasing used equipment, inspectors should verify seal integrity, check for wear on forming dies, and confirm maintenance records are available. Common strengths include versatility across multiple product types, straightforward operation, and reasonable spare parts availability. Condition of the heating elements and film feed mechanisms warrant particular attention during assessment.
