Tea Packaging Knives

Here at Precision Edge, since our formation in 1987, we have been providing our clients with a large variety of options when it comes to the machine blades. During this time providing a bespoke machine knife service, we have earned a reputation for producing the best quality products for our customers’ varying needs. Today we are going to turn our attention to tea bag knives, looking at how these knives work in the machines, the benefits of using these knives for tea bag packaging, and what you can expect from us.

How It Works

Although marketed as tea packaging knives, this type of blade is also suitable for packaging for ground coffee powder, herbs, and granular cereals. These knives work with automated machines that make single-use bags using filter paper. In these processes, it is possible to fill each bag, seal it, and cut it, with some machines also able to add a string and tag. Using these automated processes, it’s also possible for machines to count and pack the finished product into boxes. Whatever kind product you’re packaging, there are many possibilities when it comes to tea bag knives, including circular sachet-style bags, pyramid shaped bags, and double chamber filter sachets.

The Benefits of Tea Packaging Knives and Machines

The main reason for using tea packaging knives and machines is that these automated processes have high productivity levels, packing around 1,800 bags an hour. They also create a uniform look, which helps with the brand’s image, by appearing professional and reliable to customers. The stainless-steel material of the blades also helps comply with CGMP and CE, in terms of sanitation. It’s simple to clean, and approved as safe for food handling. Furthermore, such machines don’t take up much space, are versatile to accommodate for different bag sizes, and are a cost-effective solution to tea bag packaging processes, cutting the cost of human labour, with a skilled operator overseeing the packaging process.
