Extraction equipment for teas and plant-based products
For tea, the extraction system is semi-continuous. The tea extract is cooled and clarified (where required) before being blended, heat treated and packaged in downstream processing equipment.
For plant-based processing, a concentrate is extracted from beans, nuts, grains or similar ingredients. This takes place in three steps: grinding, fibre separation and enzyme deactivation. Extraction is followed by recipe formulation, aseptic treatment and, finally, the packaging of the commercial product. Quality of the product is determined by a variety of factors, including the type of ingredient used, the extraction method and the product formulation.
