C27-E Tea bag packaging
Machine overview
Clean forever. Clever
Based on extensive research to minimise the amount of tea dust deposited on the machine, the C27-E implements a host of clever solutions such as the incorporation of groups inside the machine frame, also significantly reducing the footprint of the machine.
The C27-E produces knotted tea bags at up to 300 bags/minute and handles tea as well as non-free-flowing products thanks to a special vibrating feeding system for herbs.
The C27-E is a medium-speed solution for all tea and herb varieties. Naked bags and sealed outer envelopes are the two available packaging methods. It is equipped with a new cartoning attachment with a level of flexibility allowing both 1 to 4 row processing, as well as carton types including tuck-in, Kurzlaschen and caddy style.
Complete working cycle control is enabled via a PC with a user-friendly on-board HMI. Machine operators also benefit from remote monitoring on a mobile device (tablet or smartphone) thanks to Open Standard software and full interoperability.
