C24-IQ Tea bag packaging

Machine overview

Intelligence talks

Reaching up to 450 bags per minute, in any configuration, this tea bag filling and packaging machine encompasses an outstanding compact and clean design guaranteeing a substantial reduction of overhanging parts and therefore a consequent extraordinary decrease in cleaning operations. The new C24-IQ encompasses the most innovative technological and digital features with the precise aim to improve accessibility for daily operations and cut replacement and adjustment time losses. Based on an intelligent and predictive maintenance management platform, the new C24 IQ is aimed to “talk” to the operator by monitoring and anticipating functionality troubles or required operations, thus enhancing a prompt and effective intervention.
