Finlays installs world's latest tea bagging machine

NEW MACHINE: The worlds leading tea bag machine manufacturer Industria Machine Automatiche (IMA) of Italy, and James Finlay & Company (Colombo) Limited announced the arrival and installation of the worlds latest tea bagging machine, the IMA C27 in Sri Lanka.

The high-tech C27 tea bagging machine was launched in April 2005 at the Interpack in Dusseldorf and James Finlays became the first company in Asia to purchase one.

The C27 has the ability to produce up to 250 tea bags per minute and is based on a traditional non heat-sealable double chamber bag (flow thru type), that guarantees optimum infusion efficiency enabling the natural tea aroma to flow out.

Other advantages of using the C27 machine include high process control, high flexibility and versatility, reduced maintenance and spare part consumption, and easy maintenance.

All these, together with the added benefit of producing 100% fully natural tea bags utilising a knot technology (also referred to as the stapleless technology), make the C27, the most advanced tea bagging machine available in the market at present.
