Tea Bag Production Line and Factory Setup

A tea bag production line is a complete industrial system designed to grind tea leaves, homogenize the blend and form finished tea bags under controlled process conditions. The line produces standard tea bags with string and tag depending on the selected packaging equipment.

From an industrial perspective, tea bag manufacturing is important because it combines precise grinding, blending, high-speed bag forming, string attachment and secondary packaging to achieve consistent fill weight and appearance. The process relies on a defined sequence of unit operations that must be correctly engineered, sized and integrated.

Primary materials typically include tea leaves, filter paper, string, tags, glue and cartons. The core machinery set consists of tea grinders, mixers, fully automatic tea bag machines, cartoners and labelling equipment.

The Industrial Department supports investors who want to establish a new tea bag factory as well as existing plant owners who need repair, overhaul, capacity expansion or automation of their current lines. Projects can start from an empty site or from an operating facility that requires technical upgrading.

Whether the goal is a green-field turnkey tea bag plant in Iraq, Kurdistan Region, Afghanistan or other regional markets, or the modernization of an existing line in Iran, engineering, machinery supply or manufacturing, installation, commissioning and ongoing technical support can be provided under defined contractual scopes.

Production Line Overview

The tea bag production line is engineered as an integrated process system covering grinding, blending, bag forming, coding and cartoning. Design capacity is determined during the engineering phase; a typical reference is around 8000 bags per 8-hour shift depending on machine selection.

Product types include standard single-chamber tea bags with string and tag. The overall process flow follows a defined sequence: grinding of tea leaves, homogenization, automatic bag forming and filling, coding, cartoning and labelling.

Main machinery groups include tea grinders (100–500 kg/h), mixers, fully automatic tea bag machines, cartoners and labelers. Supporting infrastructure covers electrical power and compressed air.

Manpower requirements are relatively low due to the high degree of automation. Quality control covers fill weight, bag integrity, string attachment and package appearance.

Manufacturing Process

Grinding – Tea leaves are ground to the required particle size.
Mixing / Homogenization – Ground tea is blended for uniformity.
Automatic Bag Forming and Filling – The tea bag machine forms the bag, fills it, attaches string and tag and seals it.
Coding – Date and batch information are printed.
Cartoning – Bags are placed into retail cartons.

Machinery & Equipment

Tea Grinder – Reduces leaf size. Position: first stage. Importance: determines infusion rate. Quality impact: incorrect particle size affects taste and dust. Maintenance: knives and screens. Sahi Rasa support includes design, installation and spare parts.
Mixer – Homogenizes the blend. Position: after grinding. Importance: ensures consistent flavour. Quality impact: incomplete mixing causes batch variation. Maintenance: agitators and seals.
Automatic Tea Bag Machine – Performs filling, bag forming, string attachment and sealing fully automatically. Position: core of the line. Importance: determines speed and bag quality. Quality impact: seal integrity and fill weight accuracy are critical. Maintenance: forming dies, sealing elements and drive systems.
Cartoner and Labeler – Completes secondary packaging. Position: end of line. Importance: retail presentation. Quality impact: incomplete cartoning affects shelf appearance. Maintenance: folding and labelling mechanisms.

Factory Layout & Building Requirements

Typical areas include tea storage, grinding, blending, bag forming, cartoning, packaging materials storage, quality control, utilities and staff facilities. Exact area is determined during engineering.

Utilities

Electricity: 380 V three-phase, 20–50 kW
Compressed air as required
Water: 2–5 m³/day

Turnkey Factory Setup

Projects can be accompanied from idea through commercial production under defined contractual scopes.

EPC & PMC
