LABCOLD RLDF1510 Climatic Class 4 Refrigerator - IMA C21

• Packaging of individual tea bags with string and tag for retail.
• Production of heat-sealed filter paper envelopes for tea bags.
• High-volume manufacturing lines requiring automated tea bag production and cartoning.
• Food and beverage processing facilities specialising in hot beverage products.

Typical throughput

For this class of tea bagging machine, throughput typically ranges from 180 to 250 bags per minute, depending on bag size and material.

Tea bag type

Units of this type are commonly designed for producing single-chamber tea bags with string, tag, and an outer heat-sealed envelope.

Power supply

Industrial tea bagging machines commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with varying power consumption based on configuration.

Footprint

The footprint for a machine of this nature can be substantial, often requiring a dedicated area for the main unit, material feeds, and outfeed conveyors.

Materials handled

Typically processes filter paper for tea bags, cotton string, paper tags, and various heat-sealable packaging films for envelopes.

Automation level

Units like the IMA C21 are generally fully automatic, handling dosing, bag forming, sealing, string/tag attachment, and enveloping.

Cartoning equipment holds strong reputation for reliability in pharmaceutical and food processing sectors. Buyers typically value machines offering consistent case erection, product loading and sealing with minimal downtime. When purchasing used units, inspectors should assess wear on servo motors, gripper mechanisms and seal tooling, as these components incur significant usage. Industry sentiment favours models demonstrating straightforward maintenance access and parts availability. Durable construction and precise automation remain key strengths. Operational history and maintenance records prove essential evaluation criteria for secondhand purchases.
