A small tea packaging company located in Nigeria, specializing in packaging black tea and local herbal blends, primarily serves the local retail market and regional distributors.
To improve production efficiency and upgrade their production line, this company’s purchasing manager contacted us to find a compact tea bags packaging machine, which is suitable for their small workshop and local power supply conditions.
Potential and challenges of the Nigerian tea market
Nigeria has a large consumer base for tea and herbal beverages. Besides imported black tea, locally processed herbal teas made from ginger, hibiscus, lemongrass, and other plants are becoming increasingly popular. As global consumer demand expands, Nigerian products are also gradually reaching the international market.
Nigeria has a large consumer base for tea and herbal beverages. Besides imported black tea, locally processed herbal teas made from ginger, hibiscus, lemongrass, and other plants are becoming increasingly popular. As global consumer demand grows, Nigerian products are also gradually making their way onto the world market.
However, most tea companies in Nigeria are small-scale enterprises. For them, stable performance, ease of operation, and compatibility with single-phase power are more important than full automation. This limits the quality of their tea product packaging, but a good tea packaging machine can effectively solve it.
Customer requirements and local conditions of the tea bags packaging machine
Our customer chose to invest in a tea packaging machine against this backdrop, aiming to improve overall product quality and meet export standards. Therefore, they proposed the following criteria:
- It needed to be powered by a standard 220V/50Hz single-phase AC power supply commonly found in local factories.
- Due to limited factory space, the tea bags packaging machine needed to be compact.
- This tea packaging machine needs the function of adjusting the packaging weight to accommodate different tea blends.
Finally, our customer selected a Model 40 tea packaging machine that met these criteria with the help of our salesman.
Tea bag packaging machine configuration
Below are the technical parameters of this tea bag packaging machine, which are well-suited for the packaging industry of small and medium-sized tea companies in Nigeria:
