In brief

Assess loose-leaf tea using representative leaves, grades and inclusions in their normal production condition. Observe feeding, dosing and discharge separately for breakage, fines, flow and blend distribution, then trial the intended mass in its actual pack. Connect these observations with the acceptance record.

For routine production using loose-leaf tea weighing and packing, describe the realistic range and how changes in loose-leaf tea weighing & packing product behaviour affect the result you need.

What to record

Loose-Leaf Tea Weighing & Packing Product Behaviour: condition, range and effect on your process

Current condition

Keep a labelled sample before loading and compare it after feeding, dosing and entry into the pack. Record visible breakage, fines, spillage and tea left in each stage, with the tea batch and tested settings.

Realistic range

Include normal batch variation, whole and smaller leaves and the inclusions used in production. Select the most delicate and least free-flowing examples from that actual range, and note changes observed as the batch runs or is replenished.

Effect on the system

Use the observations to identify where handling or transfer changes the product. Assess blend distribution separately from weight and check the headspace occupied by each tea at its target mass before choosing the final route.

Before you contact us

Five questions about loose-leaf tea weighing & packing product behaviour for your application

  1. Who can confirm this information?Identify the person responsible for loose-leaf tea weighing & packing product behaviour in production, quality, engineering or operations.
  2. How representative is the sample?Include age, supplier, batch, environment and upstream process state where they affect tea packing machines.
  3. What is the difficult condition?Include delicate leaves, the least free-flowing blend, and mixtures with different leaf or inclusion sizes from the intended range. Record retained material and changes in the packed mix rather than assuming one sample represents every tea.
  4. How will you judge the result?Agree the method, repetitions, acceptable range, result record and the response if the observed result falls outside the agreed range.
  5. What else must be coordinated?Your final tea packing machines scope must also account for cleaning, access and changeover method, finished-pack checks and reject handling, current regulations and the conditions at your site.
