Tea Blending Facility

Facilities That Set the Standard in Tea Blending

VOLDE has delivered the blending facilities of Turkey's 3 largest tea companies on a turnkey basis. The quality of dry tea emerges not just from the leaf, but from correct blending, correct dosing, and traceable production. VOLDE tea blending facilities preserve the value of every grade while repeating the same quality in every package.

| From Grade to Blend: A Controlled, Traceable Process

Tea leaves dried by green tea producers are classified into different grades according to aroma profile, physical structure, powder ratio, and flush period (particularly the first May flush), and shipped to factories in separate big bags. The blending facilities designed by VOLDE are positioned in the dry tea packaging sections of tea factories and provide the infrastructure to blend all of these grades in a controlled manner.

| Modular Bin-Based Blending Systems

There is no fixed structure in VOLDE tea blending facilities; each is designed according to process needs. However, the most commonly preferred structure in applications is:

 • Systems with an average of 24 bins
 • Flexible use with groups of 8 or 12 grades
 • Manual bin filling
 • Fast, safe feeding from big bags

Each bin is brought into the system according to the recipe. Unnecessary stock, uncontrolled feeding, or quality deviations are eliminated.

    | Fast, Clean, and Safe Big Bag Discharge

    To discharge big bags as quickly as possible without damaging the product:

     • Big bag discharge systems with Webb conveyors
     • Food-grade construction
     • Design that prioritizes operator safety

    A flow-controlled feeding infrastructure that minimizes dust generation is provided.

    | Recipe-Based Automatic Weighing and Blending

    The entire blending process is PLC & SCADA controlled.

     • Recipes are entered via the operator screen
     • Each grade is precisely dosed via automatic weighing systems
     • Weighed teas are transferred to collection belts
     • Uninterrupted flow is generally ensured via 2 separate collection lines
     • Fannings tea and powder flavorings are incorporated into the system according to the recipe
     • Metal contamination is prevented with magnetic separators

    Result: repeatable quality, waste control, and a standard blend profile.

      | Flexible Conveying Solutions to the Mixer and Packaging

      After the collection line, the system feeds the mixer via different conveying solutions depending on the facility's layout and capacity:

       • Pneumatic conveying systems
       • Food-grade chain conveyors
       • Bucket elevators

      Each application is specifically selected and engineered so as not to damage the tea's structure
