Question 1

How many bags per minute does the Smart Line PB 50T pack?

Accepted Answer

The PB 50T packs up to 50 naked pyramid teabags per minute without an outer envelope. At the rated speed, eight hours of uninterrupted running represents up to 24,000 bags before allowing for cleaning, changeovers and normal production stops. This capacity suits small and growing tea brands moving from manual packing to automated production.

Question 2

Can the PB 50T make both pyramid and rectangular teabags?

Accepted Answer

Yes—it switches between triangular (pyramid) and rectangular teabags at the touch of one button. This gives tea producers a clear basis for matching the machine to the intended bag format, product positioning and daily production requirement.

Question 3

How are the teabags sealed?

Accepted Answer

By 3-side ultrasonic sealing and cutting, so no thread or staples are needed. This gives tea producers a clear basis for matching the machine to the intended bag format, product positioning and daily production requirement.

Question 4

What filter materials does the PB 50T run?

Accepted Answer

Nylon, non-woven fabric and other ultrasonic-sealable filters, 120–180 mm wide. This gives tea producers a clear basis for matching the machine to the intended bag format, product positioning and daily production requirement.

Question 5

What's the difference between the PB 50T, PB 70T and PB 50E?

Accepted Answer

The PB 50T runs naked pyramid bags at up to 50/min and the PB 70T at up to 70/min; the PB 50E adds an outer envelope at up to 48/min. This gives tea producers a clear basis for matching the machine to the intended bag format, product positioning and daily production requirement.

Question 6

Which filter does the PB 50T use?

Accepted Answer

It runs pre-tagged pyramid teabag filter, which dph stocks at its Jebel Ali (Dubai) warehouse. This gives tea producers a clear basis for matching the machine to the intended bag format, product positioning and daily production requirement.

Question 7

What teabag sizes can it make?

Accepted Answer

Triangular 50–80 mm per edge, and rectangular 40–80 (W) × 50–80 (L) mm. This gives tea producers a clear basis for matching the machine to the intended bag format, product positioning and daily production requirement.

Question 8

How is the tea dosed?

Accepted Answer

A slide doser as standard, with a load-cell weigher or auger filler available as options. This gives tea producers a clear basis for matching the machine to the intended bag format, product positioning and daily production requirement.

Question 9

How easy is it to operate and clean?

Accepted Answer

The 3E principle—Easy to Operate, Easy to Clean and Easy to Maintain—structures the PB 50T around reducing downtime and training needs. Toolless format changes and quick-release components allow cleaning between flavour runs without lengthy dismantling. This self-sufficiency is valuable for smaller tea operations without dedicated maintenance engineers.

Question 10

Does the PB 50T add an outer envelope?

Accepted Answer

No—it makes naked bags; for an enveloped pyramid bag choose the Smart Line PB 50E. This gives tea producers a clear basis for matching the machine to the intended bag format, product positioning and daily production requirement.
