Can this machine handle different tea bag sizes?

This unit is currently configured for 45mm x 60mm tea bags, with an option to change to 40mm x 60mm. For other sizes, change parts would typically be required, and buyers should confirm availability with the seller.

Is it possible to use both the cartoning unit and the overwrapper simultaneously?

No, the seller states that the machine can be set up with either the auto cartoning unit or the overwrapper option, but not both simultaneously.

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

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

What is the typical lead time for installation and commissioning?

Lead times vary significantly based on location, seller support, and buyer resources. It is essential to discuss installation, commissioning, and training directly with the seller.

Can this machine process products other than tea?

While primarily designed for tea, similar machines can sometimes be adapted for other granular or powdered products requiring string-and-tag bags. This would require specific evaluation and potential modifications.
