Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, pyramid tea bag production commonly ranges up to 100 bags per minute (bpm). Outer envelope machines, if integrated, typically operate up to 80 bpm.

Bag types

Units of this type are designed for both pyramid (triangular) and rectangular tea bags.

Sealing mechanism

Commonly features an ultrasonic sealing and cutting system for precise and secure bag closure.

Outer envelope capability

Many units are equipped to produce tea bags with or without a heat-sealed outer envelope.

Power supply

Typically requires a three-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz for UK/European operation, though specific unit requirements may vary.

Materials

Suitable for various filter materials, including nylon, PLA, and non-woven fabrics, compatible with ultrasonic sealing.

Speed adjustment

Units commonly feature variable speed adjustment to optimise production rates.

• What are the advantages of pyramid tea bags?

  Pyramid tea bags typically allow more room for tea leaves to unfurl, enabling better infusion and flavour extraction compared to traditional flat tea bags.

• Can this machine handle different tea types?

• What kind of maintenance is typically required?

• Is an outer envelope machine always included?

• What is meant by 'ultrasonic sealing'?

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.
