It processes <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-theme-palette-1-color\">300\u20138,000 kg of fermented tea per batch<\/mark><\/strong>. Freshly fermented leaves enter at 55\u201365% moisture. The system reduces this to 3\u20135% within 2\u20134 hours. Dried black tea is ready for grading, sorting, and packaging for domestic sale or export.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conventional charcoal-fired dryers run at 100\u2013120\u00b0C with no humidity control. This black tea dryer operates at 70\u2013105\u00b0C in a sealed chamber with \u00b11\u00b0C temperature precision. The heat pump recycles thermal energy from exhaust air. It delivers a COP of 3.0\u20134.0. Electricity consumption drops by 60\u201370% compared to direct electric heating. A PLC touchscreen lets operators program multi-stage drying profiles. Chamber temperature stays within \u00b11\u00b0C. Relative humidity stays within \u00b13%. The 2\u20134 hour cycle enables 4\u20136 batches per day during peak harvest.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shuliy has manufactured industrial drying equipment for over 20 years. The company has exported heat pump dryers to more than 30 countries. All chambers use 304 stainless steel trays. Housing options include galvanized steel and SUS304. The system meets EU and FDA food-contact material standards. A 12-month warranty covers all mechanical and electrical components. Lifetime technical consultation is included.<\/p>   <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/dryingplant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sulfur-free-coal-heating.webp\" alt=\"Black Tea Drying Machine\" class=\"wp-image-9096\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dryingplant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sulfur-free-coal-heating.webp 720w, https:\/\/dryingplant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sulfur-free-coal-heating-240x180.webp 240w, https:\/\/dryingplant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sulfur-free-coal-heating-16x12.webp 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Black Tea Drying Machine<\/figcaption><\/figure> <\/div>   <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Must Black Tea Be Dried?<\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After full fermentation, black tea leaves still contain 55\u201365% moisture and active enzymes. Without timely and controlled drying, quality deteriorates rapidly.<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Over-Fermentation: Enzymatic activity continues. The tea develops a sour, overripe flavor. Astringency increases. Market grade drops.<\/li>    <li>Color Degradation: Uncontrolled moisture causes uneven oxidation. Leaf color turns dull brown instead of the desired dark amber. Buyers reject discolored batches.<\/li>    <li>Mold Growth: Moisture above 8% creates ideal conditions for Aspergillus and Penicillium mold. Aflatoxin contamination becomes a food safety risk.<\/li>    <li>Aroma Loss: Volatile aromatic compounds evaporate unevenly. The characteristic malty, floral, or fruity notes fade. Tea loses its premium classification.<\/li> <\/ul>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Shuliy black tea drying machine solves these problems through staged temperature control. A three-phase drying profile stops fermentation at the optimal point. Moisture draws evenly from each leaf. Aroma compounds are locked in. The final product reaches 3\u20135% moisture with batch uniformity within \u00b10.5%.<\/p>   <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/dryingplant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/525f2170ef6663233a4b13d2d71ac9a8.webp\" alt=\"Dried Black Tea\" class=\"wp-image-9372\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dryingplant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/525f2170ef6663233a4b13d2d71ac9a8.webp 720w, https:\/\/dryingplant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/525f2170ef6663233a4b13d2d71ac9a8-240x180.webp 240w, https:\/\/dryingplant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/525f2170ef6663233a4b13d2d71ac9a8-16x12.webp 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dried Black Tea<\/figcaption><\/figure> <\/div>   <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is a Black Tea Drying Machine?<\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A black tea drying machine is a hot-air circulation device specifically designed for drying fermented black tea.
