Single-pass tea extraction system
In the ready-to-drink (RTD) tea industry, ensuring consistent extraction while maintaining quality and efficiency is crucial. Producers often struggle with extraction methods that are either too time-consuming or result in poor tea quality, hampering production capabilities.
Extract good quality Rtd tea efficiently
The single-pass tea extraction system from Tetra Pak® is a semi-continuous setup designed for effective extraction of high-quality RTD tea directly from tea leaves. The process involves multiple steps, including batching tea leaves, filling the extractor with water, and continuous extraction. The extracted tea is then cooled, clarified if necessary, formulated, heat treated, and packaged. This system supports a seamless transition between extraction cycles by allowing for quick discharge of spent leaves and re-preparation for the next cycle. With its focused process control and efficient recovery, the system ensures minimal waste and optimal extraction time.
