Single and double chamber teabags

AcmaVolpak machines for making teabags, produced and marketed under the Tecnomeccanica brand, are garnering approval, starting from the latest new feature, launched at Interpack 2014 under the name T4 Modula and already operational with the first international user.

T4 Modula makes “knotted” double chamber teabags at speeds of up to 250 bags/min., and is advanced in terms of sustainability and material savings. The T4 teabag (photo), in addition to its visual appeal, is made with 100% biodegradable non-heat-sealable filter paper and closed without the use of metal staples. The octagonal cardboard tag is placed on the front of the bag, while the thread runs underneath, improving appearance and brand visibility. Meanwhile AcmaVolpak has also  signed a contract to supply ten T2s to a big player in Latin America for the production of “single chamber” teabags, accompanied by a boxing system and heatsealed outer bag. In addition, Saudi Arabia has recently installed the first “full leaf” version of the machine, that can pack tea in leaf form. The T2 full leaf teabag differs from the pyramid type as it enables the stackability of the bags in the box.
