Stainless Steel Tea Extraction System for Beverage Production

Product Introduction

The Tea Extraction System is an advanced extraction and concentration solution designed for tea beverage production and natural food ingredient processing. By combining vacuum extraction, low-temperature operation, solvent reflux and concentration technology, the system efficiently extracts valuable tea components while maintaining product quality.

The low-temperature vacuum extraction process helps preserve heat-sensitive tea ingredients, improve extraction yield and reduce unwanted thermal degradation. The integrated design combines extraction and concentration functions, reducing processing steps and improving production efficiency.

Equipped with PLC automatic control, the Tea Extraction System enables precise management of temperature, vacuum level and processing parameters. It is widely used for green tea extract, black tea extract, herbal tea beverage ingredients and functional beverage production.

Working principle

The Tea Extraction System uses vacuum-assisted low-temperature extraction technology to efficiently extract soluble tea components from tea leaves and botanical materials.

Processing Flow:

Tea Leaves Loading → Solvent Addition → Vacuum Low Temperature Extraction → Solvent Reflux → Filtration → Concentration → Tea Extract Collection

Working Process:

1. Tea leaves or botanical materials are loaded into the extraction tank.
2. Water or ethanol solvent is added according to the production requirements.
3. The vacuum system reduces the boiling temperature of the solvent, allowing extraction under mild conditions.
4. The solvent penetrates tea materials and dissolves valuable components such as tea polyphenols, flavors and natural compounds.
5. The reflux system continuously supplies fresh solvent to improve extraction efficiency.
6. The extracted liquid enters the concentration unit for solvent removal.
7. The final tea extract is collected for beverage production or further processing.
