South American Tea & Yerba Mate Packaging Solutions
Customized technology engineered specifically for South American agricultural standards, packaging materials, and regional consumer preferences.
Adapting to Yerba Mate & Herbal Infusion Cultures
In South America, tea is not just a beverage; it is a profound cultural ritual. From the traditional Yerba Mate (chimarrão or tereré) consumed heavily in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay, to the soothing herbal infusions like té de tilo, chamomile, and boldo favored in Chile, Peru, and Colombia, the raw materials present unique packaging challenges. Yerba Mate, in particular, is characterized by its high dust content and varying particle sizes, including stems (palo) and leaves.
Ludyway has engineered dedicated dust-extraction systems and high-precision volumetric and weigh-dosing technologies that prevent sealing contamination. This ensures that even the finest herbal powders and dusty mate blends are sealed perfectly without compromising the packaging integrity.
Our machines are fully compatible with local packaging materials, including biodegradable filter papers, heat-sealable non-woven fabrics, and outer protective envelopes. We help South American manufacturers meet both domestic demand and stringent export regulations for North American and European markets.
Compliance with MERCOSUR GMC food contact regulations and customized electrical configurations (220V/380V, 50Hz/60Hz) configured directly at our factory.
