The NEW string and tag tea bag machine, has been built, to be sold, for a very realistic price. It is a double chamber machine, which can produce string and tag tea bags at up to 90 per minute, of either 40mm x 44mm or 40mm x 45mm, which is determined at time of order. The machine was originally designed for black and fruit teas but clearly can handle 2g of any type of tea. The machine can be supplied as string and tag with or without enveloping. The enveloping option can be either crimp sealing or heat sealing.
The tea stick machine was designed for simplicity of use, such as in Hotels, where tea bag paper is not required. Instead, the packaging material can be a normal light laminate as the machine punches water circulation holes in the film, with a special perforating mould, during production. Therefore, the stick can be put in the cup or mug of hot water and stirred around to brew the tea. The machine delivers 2-3g of tea in to each stick, which is 18mm x 135mm. It has a simple slide volumetric dosing unit and a tube vibration unit, so that the tea does not bridge. Photocell for printed film is also included on the machine.

The machine is based on the simple to set up and operate S-110 sachet machine, which has been adapted to produce round tea bags. The tea bags produced are 70mm in diameter and the machine runs at approximately 60 tea bags per minute. The machine is equipped with an auger type feeding unit, as well as a waste paper collection system. Picture not very good but machine is excellent.
