Name: HST - ZE 30
Brand: HST

Question 1

What is the HST ZE 30 overwrapping machine?

Accepted Answer

A high-speed full-impact overwrapping machine with rotating folding and sealing, running up to 200 packs per minute on thin PP films. The ZE 30 is intended for producers that need repeatable small-to-medium overwrapped packs with consistent presentation and controlled film handling. dph can match the machine configuration to the required pack dimensions, output and downstream equipment.

Question 2

How fast is the ZE 30?

Accepted Answer

Up to 200 packs per minute. At rated speed, that equals approximately 12,000 finished packs per hour before allowance for changeovers and planned stops. Actual output depends on pack dimensions, film, product flow and the selected line configuration, so dph confirms capacity against the buyer's format before specification.

Question 3

What pack sizes can it wrap?

Accepted Answer

From 40 × 20 × 10 mm up to 190 × 110 × 65 mm. The supported range allows producers to cover 40 × 20 × 10 mm to 190 × 110 × 65 mm on the same platform when the correct tooling is installed. Final dimensions, film specification and change parts are confirmed from sample packs before the machine is ordered.

Question 4

What film does it use?

Accepted Answer

Thin polypropylene (PP) films, handled reliably at high speed. Correct film selection and tension are important for clean folds, secure seals and a consistent retail appearance. dph can test the buyer's intended material and pack samples before tooling is finalised.

Question 5

How does the ZE 30 differ from the Marden Edwards overwrappers?

Accepted Answer

The ZE 30 is a high-speed full-impact rotary machine (up to 200/min) for small-to-medium packs; the Marden Edwards range runs up to 60/min with wider pack sizes. The choice therefore depends on required speed, pack-size range, control preference and future SKU plans. dph can calculate expected capacity and changeover needs from the buyer's actual product mix.

Question 6

What are its power and size?

Accepted Answer

A 4 kW connection with ~2.5 kWh average use, in a compact 310 × 70 × 185 cm footprint. This utility profile supports continuous production without disproportionate energy demand for the stated output. Final electrical and compressed-air requirements are confirmed for the ordered configuration before installation planning.

Question 7

Is it energy-efficient?

Accepted Answer

Yes—its compact layout and ~2.5 kWh consumption keep energy use low. This utility profile supports continuous production without disproportionate energy demand for the stated output. Final electrical and compressed-air requirements are confirmed for the ordered configuration before installation planning.

Question 8

What products is it best for?

Accepted Answer

The ZE 30 is best suited to small-to-medium retail packs of tea, herbs and similar dry goods that benefit from a transparent overwrap for shelf visibility and tamper evidence. Common applications include overwrapping tea cartons (individual or multi-pack), sachet boxes, and other branded retail formats in the 40 × 20 × 10 mm to 190 × 110 × 65 mm size range. For coffee, the ZE 30 can overwrap retail cartons and gift packs where a premium presentation finish is required.

Question 9

Does it have safety features?

Accepted Answer

Yes—it includes comprehensive safety features. This feature supports repeatable small-to-medium overwrapped packs during routine production and reduces dependence on manual correction. Its practical value should be assessed together with the required output, operator availability and planned SKU changes.

Question 10

Who makes the ZE 30?

Accepted Answer

The ZE 30 is manufactured by HST Maschinenundlagen GmbH, a German specialist in tea and infusion packaging machinery. HST has broad experience in high-speed wrapping systems, and the ZE 30's full-impact rotating folding mechanism is designed for reliable performance on thin PP films at up to 200 packs per minute. In the Middle East and India, HST machines are represented and supported by dph Industries.
