LABCOLD RLDF1510 Climatic Class 4 Refrigerator - IMA C2002

• Producing tea bags for retail packaging.
• Packaging herbal infusions and similar dry leaf products.
• Forming and sealing small sachets for various granular or powdered products.
• Pilot production or small-to-medium scale manufacturing of heat-sealable pouches.

Typical throughput

For this class of laboratory form-fill-seal machine, typical throughput can range from several hundred to a few thousand bags per hour, depending on bag size and material.

Bag type

Units of this type commonly produce double-chamber heat-seal bags, often with thread and tag attachment.

Power supply

Typically, these machines require a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK, with a specific amperage draw that buyers should confirm with the seller.

Footprint

Laboratory or pilot-scale FFS machines generally have a moderate footprint, requiring dedicated floor space but not typically extensive factory areas.

Materials handled

Designed for heat-sealable filter paper or similar materials for the bag, and mylar tape for tag attachment.

Automation options

Units of this type commonly offer options for automatic carton erection and auto weighing/rejection systems.

• What is a double-chamber heat-seal bag?

  A double-chamber bag has two compartments, allowing for better infusion. Heat-seal refers to the method of sealing the bag using heat and pressure, ensuring product integrity.

• Can this machine handle different bag sizes?

• What kind of maintenance is typically required for a machine like this?

• Is training usually needed to operate such equipment?

• What are the considerations for importing a machine from Sri Lanka?

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.
