EC12/T

Teabag machine with pillow bag.

This highly developed model is designed for packing tea automatically in filter paper bags, with thread and tag, which are placed in pillow bags.
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.

THE MOST ECONOMICAL PRESENTATION TO WRAP YOUR TEABAGS
The EC12/T Packer produces, in a completely automatic process, bags for Infusions with thread and tag neatly placed and grouped in pillow bags of heatsealable hermetic material.

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.
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.

PRODUCT PRESENTATIONS
Is the ideal solution to offer the market a very economical final product. The standard presentation is of five teabags inside a bag; nevertheless, a control operated through the screen allows the change of presentations within seconds.
One can vary the quantity of teabags to be packed in each bag, modify the length of the bags, or decide the quantity of bags to be kept together in a stripe, notched to allow their fast separation.

MANUFACTURING OF THE BAG
The EC12/T Packer has its first stage identical to the one of the prestigious EC12 model, in which the teabags are filled with the infusion, completed with thread and tag and delivered on to the final packing process.
Parallelly, the bags are prepared in a continuous process from a roll of heatsealable hermetic material. The foil enters into a system that forms the tube and, after placing into each bag the programmed amount of teabags, they are sealed and cut for delivery.

EMPTY TEABAG REJECTER
A sensing system that operates automatically withdraws the empty teabags or the incomplete groups from the packing circuit.
This control saves bag material and ensures that each bag will contain he proper amount of full teabags.

LARGER VOLUME
The EC12Y/T model has been specially designed when more volume needs to be packed. The content of the teabags can reach a maximum of 10 cm3.
