Tecnomeccanica T2 Prima

• Packaging of granular products such as tea, coffee, and herbs into individual bags.
• Production of single-chamber tea bags with string, tag, and heat-seal envelopes.
• Forming and sealing of various small, flexible pouches for food and non-food items.
• Automated portion packaging in industries requiring high hygiene and consistent fill weights.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, speeds commonly range from 80 to 200 bags per minute, depending on bag size and product characteristics.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with a power consumption of 3-5 kW.

Bag dimensions

Form-fill-seal machines are often configurable to produce various bag sizes; for tea bagging, common dimensions are around 50-70mm width by 50-80mm length.

Materials handled

Typically processes filter paper for bags and various laminate films for outer envelopes.

Footprint

A machine of this category commonly requires a floor space of approximately 2m x 1.5m, plus space for material loading and maintenance access.

Automation level

This type of machine typically handles bag forming, filling, sealing, string/tag attachment, and envelope creation. Automatic cartoning is often a separate, optional module.

• What is a Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) machine?

  An FFS machine is an automated packaging system that forms a bag or pouch from a roll of film, fills it with a product, and then seals it. This process is continuous and highly efficient.

• What are the common maintenance requirements for a tea bagging machine?

• Can this machine handle different types of tea or other granular products?

• What is a 'stapleless' tea bag machine?

• Is specialist training required to operate this equipment?

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.
