Technological Innovation Transforms Tea Production: Tea Color Sorters Lead a New Industry Revolution

      Recently, with the continuous development of the tea industry, a new type of high-tech equipment – the tea color sorter – is gradually emerging in the field of tea production, becoming a key force in improving tea quality and production efficiency.

  • Tea Color Sorting Machines: Unveiling the Optical Mechanism for Precision Tea Grading

The tea color sorter uses a high-definition CCD optical sensor to scan tea leaves, enabling precise identification of differences in color and shape for efficient sorting. Its working principle is based on advanced photoelectric sensing and image recognition technologies. As tea leaves pass through the conveyor belt, high-resolution cameras and light sources inside the machine capture the characteristics of each tea leaf and transmit this information to the built-in processor. The processor quickly judges whether the tea leaves meet the preset standards; upon detecting those with uneven color, foreign objects, or other non-compliant features, it removes them via high-speed air flow or pneumatic devices.

  • Tea Color Sorter Debuts: Is Manual Sorting Under Great Pressure?

The application of tea color sorters has brought numerous significant advantages to tea production. Firstly, in terms of improving tea quality, by accurately measuring the color and shape of tea leaves, it ensures that each batch meets strict quality standards, effectively enhancing the overall quality and market competitiveness of tea. In the past, manual sorting struggled to guarantee accuracy and consistency, but the use of color sorters has largely avoided these issues, making the color and size of tea leaves more uniform, with more stable taste and aroma.

Secondly, the use of tea color sorters has significantly improved production efficiency. Traditional manual sorting can handle approximately 10-30 kilograms of tea per person per day, while a single color sorter can process over 1,200 kilograms per hour, increasing efficiency by more than 50 times. This not only greatly shortens the production cycle but also meets the growing market demand for tea, helping tea enterprises seize opportunities in the fierce market competition.

In terms of production environment hygiene and safety, tea color sorters also play an important role. They reduce hygiene issues caused by manual sorting, prevent tea from being contaminated during the sorting process, and lower potential safety hazards from manual operations, providing more reliable guarantees for tea production. Additionally, tea color sorters are equipped with advanced air purification systems and dust removal devices, effectively reducing pollution and dust during production, further improving the cleanliness and quality of tea.

  • Color Sorters Polish the “Golden Sign” of Tea Quality, Gaining Universal Acclaim from Tea Companies

A person in charge of a well-known tea enterprise stated, “Since introducing tea color sorters, the yield rate of our finished tea has increased from 82% to over 98%, and customer complaints have almost dropped to zero. It has not only improved product quality but also saved a significant amount of labor and raw material costs.”

With the widespread application of tea color sorters, tea production is gradually moving towards standardization, intelligence, and high efficiency. In the future, this technology is expected to play an even more important role in the tea industry, driving the entire sector to achieve new leaps and development.
