Name: HST - RB 10
Brand: HST

Question 1

What is the HST RB 10 teabag machine?

Accepted Answer

A fully automatic single-chamber teabag machine that makes 70 mm round filter bags at up to 400 bags per minute. This specification helps high-volume producers assess format compatibility, utilities and line capacity before installation.

Question 2

How many teabags per minute does the RB 10 make?

Accepted Answer

The HST RB 10 runs at up to 400 bags per minute under normal production conditions. That equals approximately 24,000 round teabags per hour; the processed tea weight depends on the specified dose per bag. For a factory running two shifts, this output supports high-volume foodservice and retail production from one compact machine.

Question 3

What teabag format does it produce?

Accepted Answer

Round single-chamber filter bags, 70 mm in diameter. This specification helps high-volume producers assess format compatibility, utilities and line capacity before installation.

Question 4

What are its footprint and energy use?

Accepted Answer

About 200 × 90 × 190 cm, ~850 kg, and around 1.8 kWh. This specification helps high-volume producers assess format compatibility, utilities and line capacity before installation.

Question 5

What is a single-chamber teabag?

Accepted Answer

A flat bag with one compartment; the RB 10 makes the classic 70 mm round style. This specification helps high-volume producers assess format compatibility, utilities and line capacity before installation.

Question 6

Is it reliable for high volume?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the HST RB 10 is built around a robust mechanical drive with minimal electronic complexity, which gives long service intervals and low failure rates in continuous multi-shift operation. Its round bag format uses a simple sealing mechanism with fewer moving parts than rectangular bag machines, which contributes to its reliability record. For factories in the Middle East and India running 24/7 with limited downtime allowance, the RB 10's mechanical simplicity is a practical advantage.

Question 7

Does it add a string or tag?

Accepted Answer

No—the RB 10 makes round single-chamber bags; for string-and-tag bags see the PT or SC machines. This specification helps high-volume producers assess format compatibility, utilities and line capacity before installation.

Question 8

Is it energy-efficient?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the HST RB 10 operates at approximately 1.8 kWh, which is low for a machine producing up to 400 bags per minute. Its compact mechanical design avoids unnecessary utility demand while maintaining continuous high-speed output. For tea factories in the Middle East, the combination of high output and low energy draw supports a favourable cost per bag compared with older lines.

Question 9

Who makes the RB 10?

Accepted Answer

The HST RB 10 is manufactured by HST Maschinenundlagen GmbH, a German specialist in tea and herbal infusion packaging machinery with decades of experience supplying production lines to the global tea industry. HST machines are installed in tea factories across Europe, Asia and the Middle East. In the Gulf, India and surrounding markets, HST machines are represented and supported by dph Industries, which handles technical consultancy, commissioning and regional after-sales service.

Question 10

Is it easy to operate?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the RB 10's mechanical design means straightforward controls and low operator training requirements. Bag format changeovers are uncomplicated, and the machine's layout gives good access for cleaning and routine maintenance. dph Industries provides commissioning support, operator training and a regional spare-parts stock for buyers in the Middle East and India, so the machine is productive from day one.
