Name: Gutmann - Tea Bag Wire
Brand: Gutmann

Question 1

What is Gutmann aluminium wire for teabags?

Accepted Answer

Gutmann aluminium wire is food-grade wire used to attach tags to teabags on aluminium-wire teabag machines, with a clean, low-oxide finish. Buyers should match the alloy, spool format and order quantity to the wire-folding system and planned production volume.

Question 2

What diameter and alloys are available?

Accepted Answer

The standard diameter is 0.5 mm, in 5052 and 5754 aluminium alloys. Buyers should match the alloy, spool format and order quantity to the wire-folding system and planned production volume.

Question 3

Is the aluminium wire food-safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Gutmann wire is produced in a dedicated cleanroom and supplied on food-grade-compliant spools. The controlled production environment and specialised shaving process provide a clean, low-oxide surface. Food-contact compliance is essential because the wire is fitted directly to teabags used in beverage preparation.

Question 4

How is the aluminium wire packaged?

Accepted Answer

Options include 2 kg × 12 or 1 kg × 24 per box, with 648 kg bulk wooden boxes, pallets and crates available. Buyers should match the alloy, spool format and order quantity to the wire-folding system and planned production volume.

Question 5

Which machines use aluminium wire?

Accepted Answer

It's used on aluminium-wire teabag machines that fold a metal tag onto the bag instead of using thread or heat-seal. Buyers should match the alloy, spool format and order quantity to the wire-folding system and planned production volume.

Question 6

Why does a low-oxide finish matter?

Accepted Answer

Heavy surface oxide can make aluminium wire break or jam in a teabag machine's wire-folding mechanism, causing stoppages and product defects. Gutmann's specialised shaving process removes the oxide layer before spooling, helping the wire feed smoothly and the folded tag sit flush without fraying. For high-speed aluminium-wire machines, consistent wire quality directly supports overall equipment effectiveness.

Question 7

Do you stock aluminium teabag wire in the UAE?

Accepted Answer

dph stocks Gutmann aluminium wire at its Jebel Ali, Dubai warehouse within the DMCC Tea Centre, giving regional tea producers and co-packers local access without direct-import lead times. The wire can be supplied alongside filter paper, thread and tags as a single-source consumables package. This simplifies procurement for Middle East tea-packaging operations.

Question 8

What's the difference between wire and thread tagging?

Accepted Answer

Wire folds a metal tag onto the bag for a firm hold; thread ties or knots the tag. The choice depends on your machine and market preference. Buyers should match the alloy, spool format and order quantity to the wire-folding system and planned production volume.

Question 9

Can I order aluminium wire in bulk?

Accepted Answer

Yes—bulk 648 kg wooden boxes, pallets and crates are available alongside standard boxed spools. Buyers should match the alloy, spool format and order quantity to the wire-folding system and planned production volume.

Question 10

Who makes the aluminium wire?

Accepted Answer

Gutmann is a German specialist manufacturer of food-grade aluminium wire for the teabag industry, produced in a dedicated cleanroom to prevent contamination. Its 0.5 mm wire is available in 5052 and 5754 alloys, and a specialised shaving process removes surface oxide for a clean, consistent finish. dph represents Gutmann across the Middle East and stocks aluminium wire at its Jebel Ali, Dubai warehouse.

Question 11

What is the minimum order quantity?

Accepted Answer

The minimum order quantity is one pallet, i.e. 648 kg. Buyers should match the alloy, spool format and order quantity to the wire-folding system and planned production volume.
