EC24 Optima | EC24 Compact
EC24 Optima – Single chamber naked tea bags with automatic cartoning and cartoning unit
In a fully automatised operation, this process combines the preparation of the tea bags with the erection of the boxes that will receive 1, 2 or 3 neatly grouped rows and will end with the closing and delivery of the finished box.
EC24 Compact – Single chamber naked tea bags with automatic cartoning
Thread and label are wound around the tea bags, entering these into the final stage, where they are grouped in rows that are neatly placed in boxes suitable for containing 1, 2 or 3 rows.

EC24 Multipla
EC24 Multipla – Single chamber naked tea bags in heat-sealed outer envelope with automatic cartoning
The teabags with their thread and label are led to the enveloping module where they are individually introduced into the protective material which is then cut and sealed to form an airtight unit. The envelopes are transferred to the grouping mechanism, where they are stacked in programmable quantities and packed in boxes.
