- Typical throughput
- For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 200 to 400 tea bags per minute, depending on the specific configuration and product.
- Power supply
- Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with varying power consumption based on ancillary features.
- Tea bag dimensions
- This specific unit is set up for 45mm x 60mm tea bags, with an option for 40mm x 60mm. Other sizes are commonly achievable on similar machines with change parts.
- Packaging materials
- Typically processes filter paper for tea bags, with various film types for overwrapping and carton board for cartoning.
- Automation level
- Features automatic tea bagging, string and tag application, heat sealing, and either automatic cartoning or overwrapping.
- Footprint
- A machine with both bagging and secondary packaging (cartoning or overwrapping) will require a significant operational footprint, typically several metres in length.
