EC12/C

Teabag packing machine with hermetic envelopes.

This model is designed for packing tea automatically in filter paper bags with thread, tag and heatsealable envelope material.
High performance, constant dosage, extreme simplicity and mechanical sturdiness are the most outstanding features of this Packer, result of our long experience in automatic equipments.
Its design allows the operation and maintenance by normally trained technical personnel.

HEATSEALED HERMETIC ENVELOPES
The teabags with their thread and tag are introduced into the heatsealable envelope material, which is then sealed and cut, forming hermetic envelopes that are stacked and packed automatically.

FORMING AND FILLING OF THE TEA BAG
The single chamber tea bag is formed from a roll of heatsealable filter paper, which is folded lengthwise and then closed on three sides by the sealing rollers. The previously dosified product is introduced simultaneously.
The tags, printed only on one side, are cut two at a time and folded over the thread, ensuring their attachment to it with a drop of vinylic glue.
The other end of the thread is joined to the tea bag during the sealing procedure, eliminating the traditional metal staples.

ARRANGEMENT OF THE HERMETIC ENVELOPES IN BOXES

The teabags with their outer envelope are counted, grouped in piles and placed orderly in boxes apt to contain 1, 2 or 4 rows. All this process takes place in a completely automatic way. Aditionally, the machine counts with a Safety Control (CAF) that stops the machine automatically when it detects a shortage of any of the packing materials, and also has an empty teabag ejector, that guarantees the packing of properly dosified units.

ADVANTAGES OF THE HERMETIC ENVELOPE
The heatsealed hermetic envelope has important advantages:
• It preserves the flavour: It solves a problem, specially with flavored and fruit teas, where time spoils the quality of the product.
• It protects from humidity: It ensures the conservation of the product from the packing to the moment it is consumed.
• It positions and gives hierarchy: It grants the possibility of placing your best products in the market, distinguishing them from the others by means of a high quality packaging.

LARGER VOLUME
The EC12Y/C and EC12L/C model have been specially designed when more volume needs to be packed. The content of the teabags can reach a maximum of 10 cm3 and 15 cm3 respectively.
