CT10 Tea bag packaging
Machine overview
Shaping tea naturally
The CT10 processes tetrahedral tea bags with a string and tag at a speed of 300 bags/minute. Thanks to their shape and stability, such bags are ideal for long-leaf products which consequently have more room to move and infuse for a better brew.
A specially designed volumetric rotating doser reduces fragmentation to a minimum so as to preserve the original properties of the product.
Equipped with a dedicated cartoning attachment, the CT10 packs the tea bags into stylish, open and re-closable caddy style cartons. Once closed, carton weight is checked and automatic dose regulation is performed.
All main machine stations incorporate specific product control devices for maximum product quality. Automatic rejection procedures enable non-stop processing maintaining production efficiency at the highest level.

Machine highlights
-
High production speed
Up to 300 bags/minute.
-
Ultrasonic sealing
Ultrasonic sealing technology for woven (PET) and non-woven (PET/PLA) materials.
-
Volumetric doser
Volumetric rotating doser reduces fragmentation of long leaf tea and herbs (coarse cut).
-
Increased productivity
Forced filling mechanism to accelerate process and significantly enhance productivity.
-
Reduction in changeover times
Rapid cleaning of volumetric doser reduces changeover times from one product to the next.
-
Single bag rejection
Single bag rejection to maximise production efficiency and quality.
-
Integrated cartoner
Integrated carton unit for re-closable caddy cartons, including checkweighing unit with automatic dose regulator.
-
On-Machine Assembly
No use of expensive pre-assembled materials. Filter bag material, cotton thread and tags are assembled directly on the machine for significant savings.
Volumetric rotating doser
Gentle product handling is key to preserving product quality. The special volumetric rotating doser protects coarse-cut leaves with fragments up to 10 mm, including blossoms and flower parts. Forced product ejection into bag ensures high processing speeds.
