Tea Packaging Machine for Loose Leaf and Flower Tea

Loose leaf and flower tea can be light, irregular and fragile. The filling method must handle low bulk density and product variation without excessive damage, while the package protects aroma and moisture-sensitive ingredients.

Published HYS Configuration Facts

  • Published VFFS speed range: 25–55 bags/min
  • Published VFFS bags extend to L 320 × W 250 mm across the model range
  • PY-210G supports published pouch sizes W 50–95 mm × H 100–280 mm
  • Low-density flower tea must be sample-tested for feeder compatibility

Final model, feeder, accuracy and output are confirmed from product and package samples.

Custom functions: Nitrogen flushing, dust extraction, metal detection and checkweighing require a customized machine or line configuration.

Tea Feeding and Dosing

  • A suitable weigher or volumetric system must account for low density and irregular leaf shape.
  • Gentle transfer helps reduce crushing of flowers and large leaves.
  • Blends should be tested for segregation and dose consistency.
  • Hopper geometry and vibration settings must support stable product flow.

Package and Barrier Selection

  • Define pillow, gusseted or premade zipper pouch presentation.
  • Film or pouch barrier should match aroma, moisture and shelf-life targets.
  • Package volume can be more important than fill weight for bulky flower tea.
  • Seal areas must remain free from stems, leaves and powder.

Testing and Changeover

  • Provide every tea blend, target weight and density range.
  • Confirm bag dimensions, film or pouch and artwork requirements.
  • Define cleaning and cross-contact procedures between flavors.
  • Verify stable output, package appearance and seal integrity.
