Controlled leaf distribution
Feed settings separate overlapping leaf and botanical pieces before inspection.

JT series · Layered tea review
Tea color sorting systems.
A specialist multi-stage path coordinates color, shape and foreign-material criteria for tea leaves, botanical pieces and selected seaweed.

01 / Architecture function
Apply more than one tea-quality decision.
Tea streams can contain colour variation, stems, flakes, broken leaf, shape differences and foreign material. The system configuration must coordinate these targets without treating every natural variation as reject.
JT / Layered pathDistribute → recognise → refine → discharge.
FeedColourShapeRefine
Colour classification
Configured imaging distinguishes accepted tonal range from discolouration and visible foreign material.
Shape and size rules
Stem, flake, broken leaf and other geometry criteria are defined from representative samples.
Layered refinement
Multiple stages can coordinate primary cleaning and refinement where the validated process requires it.
02 / Published model
One verified catalogue reference—not an invented range.
The supplied catalogue publishes one JT model. COWPIGGY will add further models only after current supplier availability and specifications are confirmed.
JT10 reference system
Open the model to review capacity, power, installation size and the functions that require project validation.

* Supplier catalogue reference based on green tea with impurity content of 3%–5%; actual results vary with tea variety, moisture, leaf condition, target grade and feed quality. † The catalogue field “layer number = 640” may be a translation or layout issue and must be confirmed before quotation. Optional infrared, remote and cloud functions are not implied for this model.
03 / Sorting functions
Define the grade before configuring the rule.
Tea sorting should protect the intended product character. Good leaf, acceptable natural variation and reject material must be documented separately.
Colour range
Identify discolouration and tonal differences relative to the accepted tea grade.
Stem recognition
Use representative stem samples to define the practical rejection boundary.
Shape classification
Review whole leaf, broken leaf, flakes and other geometry-related criteria.
Visible foreign material
Assess whether the target contamination has sufficient optical contrast.
Multi-stage refinement
Coordinate cleaning stages around recovery and final-grade requirements.
Product protection
Confirm feed and rejection settings around fragility and acceptable carryover.
04 / Tea applications
One machine name does not define every tea.
Leaf geometry, roast, moisture, surface colour and foreign-material profile change the inspection settings and realistic output.
Reference basis
Green tea
The published capacity reference is based on green tea under stated impurity conditions.
Different geometry
Oolong, black & Pu'er tea
Different leaf forms require independent sample validation and rule setting.
Selected applications
Flower tea & seaweed
Feasibility depends on contrast, fragility, overlapping pieces and target grade.
05 / Sample brief
Build the sorting rule from real tea.
Representative samples are needed to distinguish intentional product variation from genuine reject.
Unsorted feed
Provide the normal incoming mix, not a hand-selected demonstration sample.
Accepted tea
Show the colour, leaf shape and natural variation that must be protected.
Defects and foreign material
Separate stems, flakes, discolouration and contaminants by category.
Target output
Define throughput, final grade, recovery and acceptable good-product loss.
One reference model is currently documented.This avoids showing unverified JT variants. Additional current models can be added as soon as the supplier confirms their production status and data.Start a tea review
Compare other architectures
Use the simplest feed path that protects the product.
Free-flowing crops, irregular supported products and heavy industrial fragments each require a different starting architecture.
