LABCOLD RLDF1510 Climatic Class 4 Refrigerator - IMA C23

• Producing tea bags for retail packaging.
• Packaging herbal infusions and similar dry leaf products.
• High-volume production lines requiring efficient bag formation and filling.

Typical throughput

Form-fill-seal machines in this class commonly offer speeds from 150 to 250 bags per minute for naked tea bags.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz for European models, with an appropriate power rating for motors and heating elements.

Bag dimensions

This category of equipment is designed for specific bag sizes; common dimensions for double-chamber tea bags are around 40mm x 60mm.

Filter paper width

The filter paper width is critical for machine compatibility, typically around 94mm for this type of tea bag machine.

Machine footprint

For this class of industrial equipment, a footprint of approximately 2m x 1.5m x 2m (LWH) is typical, though this can vary by model and configuration.

Air supply

Many form-fill-seal machines require a compressed air supply for pneumatic components, typically 6-8 bar.

• What is a 'naked tea bag'?

  A 'naked tea bag' refers to a tea bag without an individual outer envelope. It is typically a string and tag bag designed for bulk packaging into larger cartons or boxes.

• Can this machine produce different bag sizes?

• What is a 'double chamber' tea bag?

• Is an outer envelope attachment easy to add?

• What kind of maintenance is typically required for a used form-fill-seal machine?

• What should I consider regarding the year of manufacture for a used machine?

Form-fill-seal machines hold strong reputations in food packaging for reliability and consistent output. Buyers typically prioritise machines with clear maintenance histories and verified production specifications. Key strengths include versatility across film types and product formats, alongside relatively straightforward operation. When purchasing used units, inspectors should examine seal quality consistency, film tracking accuracy, and the condition of heating elements. Machines from established manufacturers generally command buyer confidence. Downtime for repairs is a common concern, so availability of spare parts and technical support merits careful consideration before acquisition.
