Membrane Filtration + Membrane Concentration and Purification Process Equipment in Instant Tea Powder Production, Leading the New Trend in Quality and Efficiency

In the fast-paced modern lifestyle, instant tea powder has become a favorite in the tea beverage market due to its convenience. However, traditional production processes such as thermal concentration and diatomite filtration suffer from issues like loss of active ingredients, high energy consumption, poor product solubility, and excessive residual impurities, making it difficult to meet consumers' expectations for high-quality instant tea powder. Xeehe Fluid Technology, with its deep expertise in membrane separation technology, introduces the Membrane Filtration + Membrane Concentration and Purification Process Equipment for Instant Tea Powder Production. Centered on microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis technologies, it brings revolutionary changes to instant tea powder production.

I. Dual-Membrane Synergistic Process for Precise Extraction of Tea Essence

Xeehe's instant tea powder production equipment adopts the dual-membrane synergistic technology of "Membrane Filtration + Membrane Concentration," enabling efficient end-to-end processing from tea broth refinement to tea powder concentration:

• Membrane Filtration System: Utilizing microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) technologies, microfiltration membranes (0.1 - 10μm pore size) quickly intercept tea debris, suspended solids, and microorganisms in the tea broth; ultrafiltration membranes (molecular weight cutoff 10 - 100kDa) selectively separate macromolecular impurities such as proteins and pectin while fully retaining core nutrients and aroma substances like tea polyphenols, caffeine, and amino acids. This effectively enhances the purity of the tea broth, laying the foundation for subsequent concentration.

• Membrane Concentration System: Through nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) technologies, nanofiltration membranes (molecular weight cutoff 100 - 500Da) further remove small-molecule impurities, pigments, and inorganic salts; reverse osmosis membranes (molecular weight cutoff <100Da) achieve efficient concentration at room temperature and low pressure, increasing the solid content of the tea broth from 5% - 8% to 45% - 50%, with a retention rate of key active ingredients exceeding 95%. This avoids the loss of aroma and oxidation of components caused by traditional high-temperature concentration.

II. Five Core Advantages, Redefining Production Standards

1. High Quality and High Activity, Capturing Market Leadership

The equipment's precise filtration and low-temperature concentration technologies effectively avoid the damage to tea broth components caused by high temperatures in traditional processes. The produced instant tea powder achieves a purity of over 99%, with solubility reaching 99.5%, dissolving instantly in water without sediment. Moreover, the content of active ingredients such as tea polyphenols and catechins increases by 30% compared to traditional processes, delivering a rich and lasting tea aroma. This meets the stringent requirements of high-end tea beverages and functional drinks, helping companies create high-value-added products and enhance market competitiveness.

2. High Efficiency and Energy Savings, Reducing Production Costs

Compared to traditional production processes, membrane technology reduces energy consumption by 65%. For example, in an annual production project of 800 tons of instant tea powder, it saves over 1.8 million yuan in electricity costs per year. The equipment's processing efficiency increases by 5 times, while cross-flow filtration and intelligent cleaning systems reduce membrane fouling, extending the service life of membrane elements to 3 - 5 years and lowering overall operational and maintenance costs by 50%.

3. Green and Environmentally Friendly, Practicing Sustainable Development

The operation process requires no large amounts of filter aids or chemical reagents. The filtrate recovery rate exceeds 98%, and wastewater generation is reduced by 85%, significantly easing environmental treatment pressures. This helps companies easily pass environmental audits and achieve green, low-carbon production.

4. Intelligent Customization, Adapting to Diverse Needs

The equipment supports full-capacity customization from 200L/h to 15m3/h. Its modular design allows flexible combination of microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis units, adapting to the production needs of various tea types such as green tea, black tea, and oolong tea, as well as different formulations. The PLC automated control system enables real-time parameter monitoring and remote operation, with one-click switching of production modes, enhancing production stability and flexibility.

5. End-to-End Services, Ensuring Worry-Free Production

Xeehe provides comprehensive services, from raw material analysis and small-scale process validation to customized equipment production, installation, commissioning, personnel training, and after-sales maintenance. With over 30 patents in membrane separation technology and successful experience serving 30+ food enterprises, Xeehe ensures rapid project implementation and stable operation.

III. Diverse Application Scenarios, Empowering Industry Upgrades

The equipment is widely applicable to the production of traditional instant tea powder, functional tea powder (e.g., with added probiotics or dietary fiber), and tea beverage concentrates. Whether improving the quality of basic tea powder or supporting the R&D and industrialization of new healthy tea products, it offers precise adaptability. The equipment seamlessly integrates with downstream processes such as spray drying and freeze drying, helping companies build intelligent and standardized production systems.
