Application and development of overwrapping machine in tea industry

Tea is a drink made from young leaves or shoots of tea trees. The types of tea are green tea, yellow tea, oolong tea, black tea, dark tea, white tea, etc.

Tea is one of the important beverages in the world and has a long history. Tea tree is a warm evergreen crop, mainly distributed in subtropical and tropical regions. According to conditions such as tea production distribution and climate, the world's tea regions can be divided into East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, West Asia, Europe, East Africa, and South America.

The main producing countries in the East Asian tea region are China, Japan and South Korea. China is the birthplace of tea, and the types of tea produced are black tea, green tea, white tea, yellow tea, oolong tea and black tea. Japanese tea areas are mainly distributed in Kyushu, Shikoku and the southeastern part of Honshu, including Shizuoka, Saitama, Miyazaki, Kagoshima, Kyoto, Mie, Ibaraki, Nara, Kyushu, Kochi and other counties (prefectures), of which Shizuoka County produces The highest, accounting for 45% of the total tea production in Japan. The largest tea producing area in South Korea is located in Boseong, and its tea production accounts for about 40% of the total tea production in South Korea.

The tea-producing countries in the South Asian tea region mainly include India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. The tea regions of India are distributed in the north (including the northeast) and the south, and the north is further divided into the Assam tea region and the West Bengal tea region. The Assam tea region is the main tea region in India, and its tea production accounts for about More than 50% of the output. The main type of Indian tea is black tea, and there are two drinking methods: pure tea and milk. Sri Lanka is a tropical island country located in the southeast of the Indian peninsula. The terrain of the island is highest in the south-central part, and most of the tea gardens are concentrated in the central mountainous area. The main producing areas are Kandy, Navra, Airi, Badulla and Ratnapurla. 77%, tea production accounted for 75%. Bangladesh is located in the lower reaches of the Ganges, between Assam and Bengal in India. The tea areas are mainly distributed in Sylhet in the northeast, Chittagong in the southeast, and Tebila in the above two intervals. West Bengal tea areas are mainly distributed near Durs, and tea production accounts for about 20% of Bangladesh's total production. The southern tea region is mainly distributed in Madras and Kerala (Zhapan Valley, Jiaozhi).

The tea-producing countries in Southeast Asia include Indonesia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Malaysia, etc., and the tea produced accounts for 8.4% of the world's total production.

The main tea-producing countries in West Asia and Europe include Portugal in Europe, Sochi in Russia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Turkey, and Iran in Asia.

The main tea-producing countries in East Africa include Kenya, Malawi, Uganda, Tanzania, Mozambique, Natal region in South Africa, Zaire in central China, Rwanda, Cameroon, and Mauritius in the Indian Ocean in South Feihe in East Africa.

Tea trees have only been cultivated in South American tea regions since the beginning of the 20th century. Tea-producing countries include Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Mexico, Colombia and other countries. South American tea production accounts for about 1.8% of the world's total tea production.

According to statistics in 2016, in terms of tea planting area, among the major tea producing countries in the world, China ranks first in the world in terms of tea planting area, India ranks second, Sri Lanka ranks third, and Kenya ranks fourth , Vietnam ranks fifth, Indonesia ranks sixth, Myanmar ranks seventh, and Turkey ranks eighth. In terms of tea production, the top eight countries in the world are China, India, Kenya, Sri Lanka, Turkey, Vietnam, Indonesia and Myanmar.

The distribution and output of tea are so amazing, as a professional manufacturer of tea packaging machines, this is undoubtedly an opportunity and a challenge.

In order to increase the added value of healthy tea and products. The packaging of tea is very important. The packaging forms include different packaging such as teabag packaging, bag packaging, canning, and carton packaging.

Among them, the carton packaging equipment includes tea cartoning machine, tea overwrapping machine, box packing machine and other different packaging equipment.

Today we focus on the outer packaging form of tea and the application of overwrapping machine in the tea industry.

Overwrapping machine, commonly known as cigarette packaging machine. Overwrapping machines are divided according to speed, and there are about 4 types of automatic Overwrapping machines.

1). Low-cost Overwrapping machine, the speed is 5-40 boxes per minute. This kind is currently mainly aimed at a single large carton, or a collection of multiple cartons, for example, 10 cartons are packaged together and so on. This equipment is mainly used in the packaging of health care products, oral liquids, solid preparations, tea, red dates, probiotics, chewing gum, facial masks and other products in food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, stationery and other industries.

2) Medium-speed Overwrapping machine, this speed is 30-150 boxes per minute. This outer packaging machine is mainly for the packaging of a single carton. This kind of equipment is mainly used in the packaging of tea, poker, condoms, lotion, facial mask, tea and other products of pharmacy, food, cosmetics, stationery, medical supplies, etc.

3) High-speed Overwrapping machine, this speed is 150-300 boxes per minute. This packaging machine is mainly aimed at the packaging of the cigarette industry.

4) Ultra-high-speed Overwrapping machine, this speed is an outer packaging machine with a speed of more than 300 boxes per minute. This machine is mainly aimed at product packaging in industries such as cigarettes.

At present, the outer packaging of tea is mainly based on low-speed Overwrapping machines and medium-speed Overwrapping machines.

For the high-speed Overwrapping machine, and the ultra-high-speed Overwrapping machine in our country, the main market is in the tobacco industry. For professional manufacturers of Overwrapping machines, it is obvious that there is no such qualification.

Therefore, in terms of our company's positioning, we are committed to the outer packaging of products in the pharmaceutical, food, cosmetics and other industries. Improve the level of research and development, and expect to realize a high-speed three-dimensional packaging machine for transparent film, with a speed of 150-300 boxes per minute, which can be linked to our high-speed cartoning machine.

At present, in the tea industry, there are mainly two kinds of machines with 5-150 boxes/min. It is also the main machine in many industries.

The tea Overwrapping machine of Wenzhou Liner Machinery Co., Ltd. will provide services for more tea manufacturers. Cooperate with our company's tea cartoning machine to realize linkage production. It is one of the ideal equipment for many tea manufacturer
