LABCOLD RLDF1510 Climatic Class 4 Refrigerator - IMA C21

• Producing individual heat-sealed tea bags for retail packaging.
• Packaging herbal infusions and similar dry, particulate products into filter bags.
• High-volume production lines requiring automated tea bag filling and cartoning.
• Operations seeking to upgrade or expand existing tea bag manufacturing capabilities.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, units commonly achieve throughputs of several hundred tea bags per minute, depending on bag size and product density.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a three-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK, with varying power consumption based on ancillary equipment.

Bag type

These machines are designed for heat-sealable filter paper, forming pillow-style tea bags.

Automation level

The C21 model, especially with PLC upgrades, offers automated filling, sealing, and carton insertion, reducing manual labour.

Footprint

The physical footprint for a single unit can vary, but buyers should anticipate a significant space requirement for the machine and its associated carton insertion module.

Maintenance requirements

Regular preventative maintenance, including cleaning, lubrication, and inspection of wear parts, is crucial for optimal performance and longevity.

• What kind of tea bags can these machines produce?

  These machines are designed to produce heat-sealed tea bags, typically the pillow-style, without a string and tag. They are suitable for various loose leaf teas and herbal infusions.

• What does 'Carton Insertion' mean?

• What are the benefits of having new PLC Controls?

• Are spare parts readily available for older IMA C21 machines?

• What kind of product can be filled by these machines?

Filling machines remain sought-after on the secondhand market due to their durability and long operational lifespan. Buyers typically value models from established manufacturers known for robust construction. When purchasing used units, inspectors should verify seal integrity, calibration accuracy, and maintenance history, as these directly affect product consistency and line efficiency. Common strengths include straightforward mechanical design facilitating repairs and adaptability to different container sizes. Reliability and minimal downtime are frequently cited priorities among processors seeking cost-effective production solutions.
