Product Line / Instant Tea Production Line
Instant Tea Production Line for Beverage Ingredient Manufacturing
Integrate tea extraction, clarification, concentration, spray drying and optional granulation for soluble tea products. Specify spray drying equipment around the actual feed and powder drying target; spray drying trials should establish the operating window before an industrial food dryer is selected.
Process Overview & Working Principle
Tea is extracted in a configured series of tanks. Clarification removes insoluble material, with oil separation reviewed for a cold-water-soluble product. The clarified extract is concentrated and spray dried; optional fluid-bed granulation increases the final particle size.
Production Process Flow
- Prepare and extract tea
- Clarify the extract
- Separate tea oil where required
- Concentrate
- Pressure-spray dry
- Collect and cool
- Optional fluid-bed granulation
- Package
Line Features
- Extraction and clarification are coordinated with the desired solubility.
- Concentration prepares the feed for the drying stage.
- Optional aroma handling, heat recovery and washing scope are agreed separately.
Suitable Materials
- Tea and clarified tea extracts for the specified soluble-powder or granulated product.
- Review the formulation, moisture, temperature sensitivity and required final product condition before selecting the complete process.
Technical Configuration
Swipe the table sideways on smaller screens. Reference values apply to the stated configuration and are confirmed in the final project documents.
| Item | Configuration / Reference |
|---|---|
| Extraction reference | 3 or 4 tanks in series |
| Extract solids reference | Approximately 6–12%, subject to tea and extraction conditions |
| Concentrated-feed reference | Approximately 30–45% solids, depending on the tea |
| Optional granules | Approximately 1–2 mm with the agreed fluid-bed granulation stage |
| Required output | Specified from the material balance and agreed production schedule |
| Final supply scope | Equipment list, utilities, cleaning and controls recorded in the QUANPIN proposal |
Project Selection and Interfaces
State tea type, hot- or cold-water solubility target, solids, output and aroma requirements. Confirm oil separation, extract stability, granule size, utilities and cleaning.
Review compatible equipment in our product range and define the utility, cleaning, containment and control interfaces before the supply scope is agreed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is every line supplied with the same equipment?
No. QUANPIN defines the equipment sequence, supply boundary and controls around the selected feed, product targets and available utilities.
What information is required for a proposal?
How is the process confirmed?
Agree a representative material specification, capacity basis and acceptance procedure. Trials or supporting process data should establish the operating conditions and finished-product requirements.

Application Review: Beverage Ingredient Manufacturing
Review the prepared liquid feed, solids concentration, thermal sensitivity and required powder properties. Define hygiene, collection and downstream packing interfaces for the actual food ingredient.
For food ingredients, review the Codex food hygiene and HACCP framework when defining hygienic handling.
For a food-processing application, consult FDA food manufacturing practices for the intended market.
For dried foods, the FDA water activity reference helps distinguish water activity from moisture content.
Review the actual powder characteristics using the HSE safe handling of combustible dusts.
For the heating-system review, consult the U.S. Department of Energy process heat overview.
