Shuliy tea drying machine is used to dry tea using microwave technology. This machine is not only the best choice for drying tea but also for drying flowers, herbs, fruits, vegetables, and other materials. This is because the finished product is not discolored and is more hygienic after drying with a microwave dryer.
Advantages of microwave tea drying machine
- Even Distribution of Microwaves. The microwave generator and chamber design ensure that microwaves are evenly distributed throughout the chamber. This prevents hotspots and ensures all tea leaves receive equal exposure.
- Adjustable Conveyor Speed. The speed of the conveyor belt can be adjusted to control the drying time for different types of tea leaves. This flexibility allows for customized drying processes tailored to specific needs.
- Temperature Control. The control panel allows precise temperature settings, ensuring that tea leaves are dried at optimal conditions to preserve their quality.
- Adopt a PLC intelligent control system, timely response, and sensitive control.
- This microwave tea dryer of ours not only has the function of drying but also has the function of sterilizing.
- Microwave heating has the advantage of a small heating area. This avoids high ambient temperatures. It also greatly reduces the labor intensity.

Types of tea drying machines
At present, the three most common modern dryers for drying tea are box dryers, continuous belt dryers, and microwave dryers. Microwave drying methods have already been mentioned in the previous article. Next, I will introduce the first two tea dryers to you in detail.
Box type dryer
The box drying machine is used to dry the materials by using hot air to continuously circulate and flow inside the drying chamber. This machine is easy to operate and suitable for small-batch and multi-species drying needs.
At the same time, the machine can accurately control the temperature and humidity of the drying chamber, which is suitable for products that require high drying conditions.
Continuous belt dryer machine
The biggest advantage of a continuous belt dryer is that it can realize automatic continuous drying. This dryer can realize continuous feeding and discharging without stopping. Therefore, the belt tea drying machine is suitable for large-scale continuous production.
How does our microwave tea dryer machine work?
Microwave tea leaf drying machine utilizes electromagnetic waves to heat and evaporate the water inside the tea leaves. Unlike traditional heating methods that transfer heat from the surface inward, microwaves penetrate the tea leaves, causing the water molecules to vibrate rapidly and generate heat from within.
The rapid drying process helps to preserve the natural color, aroma, and nutrients of the tea, ensuring a high-quality output.
The applications of our tea drying equipment
Our tea drying machine is suitable for drying all kinds of tea such as chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, rose tea, jasmine tea, green tea, white tea, dark tea, and Pu’er tea.
In addition, this machine can also dry fruits and vegetables, meat, grains, nuts, herbs, chemical products, fiber materials, and other materials. Therefore, it is a multi-functional drying equipment.
Tips about tea drying
The modern drying method is used to remove the moisture in the tea without destroying the nutrients in it, which requires a full understanding of the drying process.
During the tea drying process, the quality of the final product will be affected by many factors, such as heating method, heating temperature, quality and state of raw materials, etc. Here are tips for drying your tea.
- Materials should try to choose some high-quality materials.
- Make sure that the hot air supply is available all the time.
- After drying, the tea leaves should not be left for too long to avoid secondary dampness and should be packaged as much as possible.
Why use machines to dry tea leaves?
The traditional method of drying tea leaves is steamed first and then dried. Not only will it be affected by the weather, but it is also easy to cause partial over-drying. In this way, the dried product cannot guarantee the shape of the product, and it is also prone to insects in later storage.
Our microwave tea drying machine can efficiently and quickly dry tea leaves and flowers with high quality. During the drying process, the tea leaves are completely dried without changing color or deterioration.
The advantages of dried tea
Tea is one of the three major beverages in the world. There are more than 60 tea-producing countries and regions in the world. And the tea-drinking population exceeds 2 billion.
- Tea contains various ingredients such as tea polyphenols, tea polysaccharides, theanine, vitamins, and minerals. It has the functions of refreshing, digestion, and anti-oxidation, and is loved by consumers all over the world.
- After drying, the shelf life of tea leaves can be extended.
- By reducing the moisture content of the tea, the flavor of the tea can be increased.
- The tea leaves will not destroy their nutritional components during the drying process, and the color, fragrance, and shape of the tea leaves can be better preserved, which can make the tea have a higher commercial value.
- Tea leaves become bent after drying and dehydration. Then they are not easily broken during storage and transportation, ensuring product quality.
