C58 Tea bag packaging

Machine overview

Single by choice

Designed to offer a new generation of single-chamber bags, the C58 benefits from our extensive experience in the tea packaging sector. Producing up to 300 bags/minute, the machine exploits an innovative vertical bag-forming process together with consolidated knot technology.
Lateral gussets on the new single-chamber bags give products more room to move, letting them infuse for a better brew.
Naked, crimped and heatsealed bags are all possible, and ultimate flexibility is achieved with a host of final packaging solutions. Customers can choose to incorporate cartoning units from flat blanks, pre-formed cartons or pre-glued cartons. As an alternative, the C58 can integrate units allowing final packaging in flow-packs or pouches.
Working cycle is achieved by a fully integrated PC which also guarantees quality control together with further specific product control devices.
