The main types of tea harvesters are as follows:

I. Classification by Power Source

  1. Fuel-powered tea harvesters

    • Features: Strong power, suitable for large tea gardens. Relatively strong endurance. High work efficiency.
    • Application scenarios: Large tea gardens, especially those with complex terrain and tall tea trees. There are certain requirements for fuel quality, and exhaust emissions will be generated during use.

  1. Electric tea harvesters

    • Features: Low noise, relatively simple operation, and more environmentally friendly. Can be used after charging, with low operating costs.
    • Application scenarios: Small and medium-sized tea gardens and areas with high requirements for noise and environmental protection. The endurance may be limited by battery capacity, so it is necessary to reasonably arrange working time and charging plans.

II. Classification by Harvesting Method

  1. Cutting-type tea harvesters

    • Working principle: Cut the tea leaves from the tea tree through cutting devices such as blades or saw blades. The harvesting speed is fast, and the tea leaf cuts can be kept neat.
    • Application scenarios: Suitable for tea gardens with neat tea tree growth and high tea quality requirements. Regular maintenance of the cutting device is required to ensure the cutting effect.
  2. Stripping-type tea harvesters

    • Working principle: Use rotating stripping parts to strip the tea leaves from the tea tree. Relatively less damage to the tea tree and can better retain the growth trend of the tea tree.
    • Application scenarios: Suitable for tea gardens picking tender leaves and buds, such as famous tea-producing areas. But the efficiency of stripping-type harvesters may be relatively low, and the appropriate model needs to be selected according to the actual situation.

III. Classification by Operation Mode

  1. Handheld tea harvesters

    • Features: Small size, light weight, flexible operation, and easy to carry. Suitable for small-scale tea gardens or tea gardens with complex terrain.
    • Application scenarios: Individual tea farmers or small tea garden owners can freely move between tea rows for harvesting operations. But the work intensity is relatively large, and fatigue may be felt after long-term operation.

  1. Ride-on tea harvesters

    • Features: Operators can sit on the machine for operation, with high comfort. Usually has a large harvesting width and high work efficiency.
    • Application scenarios: Large tea gardens or professional tea planting bases can greatly reduce labor intensity and improve production efficiency. Certain operating skills and experience are required to ensure safe operation.
