Product Overview
The tea beverage production line handles extraction of tea leaves to produce tea soup and finished tea beverages by mixing tea extract with water, sugar solutions, acids, natural flavors, fruit juices or plant/cereal extracts. The line is designed for industrial-scale manufacturing of ready-to-drink tea, flavored teas, compounded teas and concentrated tea products.

Classification
According to national standards, tea beverage types include:

• tea beverage (tea soup)
• flavored tea beverage
• compound tea beverage
• concentrate tea beverage

Typical Process
Processing typically includes tea extraction (water extraction, concentrated extraction or use of instant tea), mixing with additives and auxiliaries, filtration, pasteurization, filling, capping and final inspection. The line supports batch or continuous extraction methods and can integrate CIP and PLC control for sanitary operation and process automation.

Features

• Multiple extraction equipment options to match raw material and product type.
• Fully automatic slagging (dregs) removal system to reduce manual handling and improve safety.
• Rapid, homogeneous mixing equipment for dissolving sugar and other ingredients.
• Modular pasteurization units selectable to production requirements.
• Hygienic design with options for CIP and automated control systems.
