How to Choose a Tea Drying Machine? Differences

Tea Drying Machine Buying Guide: Electric, Gas, or Manual? Which One Fits You?

Tea drying is a crucial step in tea processing, directly affecting the aroma, taste, and shelf life of tea. For different scenarios, three types of tea drying machines—electric, gas, and manual household models—each have unique advantages. Today, we’ll break down their differences, usage methods, and selection tips with professional products.

1. Electric Tea Drying Machine: Commercial Preferred, Stable & Efficient

For commercial scenarios such as tea factories and large tea cooperatives, electric tea drying machines are core equipment. We recommend Quanzhou Deli DL-6CHZ-5QB Rotating Electric Tea Drying Cabinet—a popular choice for commercial drying due to its stable performance and large-capacity design.

Core Specifications: Voltage 220/380V 50Hz, heating power 9kw, 14 stainless steel trays, effective drying area 5.38㎡, batch capacity 15-20kg, tray rotation speed 6rpm, heating wire heating.

Differences: Stable and uniform heating, high temperature controllability, flame-free and safer, suitable for large-scale continuous operation, ensuring consistent quality of dried tea.

Usage: Connect to power, set drying temperature (usually 60-80℃) and time via the control panel. Spread the blanched tea evenly on the trays, start the equipment—trays rotate slowly with hot air circulation for uniform drying. Turn off the power to unload after completion.

2. Gas + Electric Hybrid Tea Drying Machine: Flexible & Energy-Saving

If the power supply is unstable or rapid heating is needed, a gas-electric hybrid dryer is ideal. We recommend Quanzhou Deli DL-6CHZ-QD14QB Hybrid Heating Rotating Dryer, combining the rapid heating of gas and precise temperature control of electricity for multi-scenario adaptation.

Core Specifications: Voltage 220/380V 50Hz, electric heating power 24KW, gas + electric dual heating modes, 16 stainless steel trays, effective drying area 14.6㎡, batch capacity 42-56kg, tray rotation speed 6rpm.

Differences: Flexible heating methods—gas mode for fast heating and low energy costs, electric mode for precise temperature control. Suitable for areas with tight power supply or large-batch rapid drying, compatible with auxiliary heating (wood, coal, etc. for some models).

Usage: Select heating mode based on actual conditions—connect gas pipeline or LPG cylinder for gas mode, or directly plug in for electric mode. Set temperature and drying time, spread tea evenly. The equipment achieves drying through hot air circulation and tray rotation; adjust parameters midway according to tea moisture.

3. Manual Household Tea Roaster: Compact & Convenient for Small-Batch Processing

For home tea making, small studios, or tea enthusiasts, a compact manual model is perfect. Quanzhou Deli DL-6CHBL-40 Bamboo Electric Manual Baking Drum balances operational flexibility and miniaturization, making it an excellent helper for home tea processing.

Core Specifications: Voltage 160-230V, power 900W, capacity ≤2000g, temperature range 30-150℃, baking drum size 37×37×30cm, bamboo drum body preserves natural tea aroma.

Differences: Compact size (41×41×47cm), weight only 4.6kg, easy to move. Manual temperature and time adjustment, suitable for small-batch drying of tea, herbal tea, etc. Low operation threshold and high cost-performance.

Usage: Plug in the power, turn the temperature knob to set the desired temperature (60-70℃ recommended for home tea making). Put fresh or blanched tea into the bamboo drum, manually rotate the drum for even heating. Open the lid to check moisture at any time, and turn off the power when the ideal state is reached.

4. How to Choose the Right Tea Drying Machine?

  1. Consider Application Scenario: Choose electric model (DL-6CHZ-5QB) for large-scale commercial processing, hybrid gas model (DL-6CHZ-QD14QB) for unstable power supply or rapid heating, and manual model (DL-6CHBL-40) for home/small-batch processing.
  2. Check Capacity Needs: Select commercial models for batches over 10kg, and household manual models for batches under 2kg.
  3. Evaluate Budget: Household models offer the best cost-performance; commercial models require considering long-term stable operation costs, and gas models need additional calculation of gas consumption.

The key to choosing a tea drying machine is "scenario adaptation". The stability of electric models, flexibility of gas models, and convenience of manual models correspond to different processing needs. With the recommended models above, you can select accurately based on your scale and usage conditions.
