Tea processing
Sunyoung 6CCP Bottle-Shaped Tea Frying Drums
Sunyoung's 6CCP-60 and 6CCP-110 are bottle-shaped drums that fry and dry tea while rolling it into tight strips, a job aimed mainly at tight-strip fried green tea. The drum is conical, which Sunyoung credits for tighter, finer strips. Each size comes as a fuel build or an electric build with its own dimensions. Electric heaters are 10.5 kW on the 60 and 36.5 kW on the 110, with drive motors of 0.55 and 1.1 kW. Listed rates are ≥7 and ≥30 kg/h. This page lays out the builds, the hourly figures, a leaf trial and the order scope.

Build my procurement briefA drum for tight-strip tea
Sunyoung offers the bottle-shaped drum for frying, drying and forming tea, above all tight-strip fried green tea, and puts the tighter, finer strips down to the conical drum. Strip size, broken-leaf rate and final moisture are not quantified.
The same catalogue page shows double-pot machines meant for curled and ball-shaped tea. Pick between the two by the finished shape you want, and begin with representative leaf and an agreed sample of the finished form.
Four builds, four sets of dimensions
Fuel and electric versions of each size have different outer dimensions. Plan the floor around the build you actually order and get its drawing. For straight strips formed in troughs, the maker's 6CLZ green tea strip shapers are the other machine to look at.
| Model and heat source | Outer size and heating entry |
|---|---|
| 6CCP-60, coal | 1410 × 830 × 1500 mm; heating column shows “/”. Ask what furnace and fuel parts are supplied. |
| 6CCP-60, electric | 1410 × 900 × 1410 mm; 10.5 kW heating. Get the full electrical supply and load schedule. |
| 6CCP-110, coal/gas | 1915 × 1260 × 2100 mm; heating column shows “/”. Ask for the gas specification and supplied arrangement. |
| 6CCP-110, electric | 2045 × 1390 × 1910 mm; 36.5 kW heating. Larger and lower than the fuel build of the same size. |
Hourly rate, charge and cycle
The 60 is listed at ≥7 kg/h and the 110 at ≥30 kg/h. Sunyoung does not say whether that is tea in or tea out, how much moisture comes off, how much goes in per run or how long the full cycle takes. The numbers 60 and 110 in the model names carry no stated kilogram meaning.
Ask Sunyoung for the allowed charge and operating method for your drum and heat source. Then watch your leaf go through the whole job, loading, discharge and lot change included, before setting batch size or frying time.
Published specifications
Read each value with its stated conditions, and ask the manufacturer for any limit not listed here.
| Specification | Published value | Meaning / limit |
|---|---|---|
| Machine family | 6CCP-60 / 6CCP-110, bottle-shaped drum [1] [2] [3] | A separate machine from the double-pot 6CCGQ shown on the same Sunyoung page. |
| Process | Tea frying/drying and tight-strip formation [1] [3] | Sunyoung says the conical drum helps make tighter, finer strips. |
| Motor power, 60 / 110 | 0.55 / 1.1 kW [2] [3] | The drum drive. Heat source and full electrics are listed apart. |
| Hourly rate, 60 / 110 | ≥7 / ≥30 kg/h [2] [3] | Printed without moisture, leaf condition, charge or cycle time. |
| 60 energy options | Coal; electricity [2] [3] | Gas appears only on the 110 rows. |
| 110 energy options | Coal/gas; electricity [2] [3] | Separate builds. Choose one heat source and order that build. |
| Electric heating, 60 / 110 | 10.5 / 36.5 kW [2] [3] | Electric builds only. Fuel rows show a slash in this column and no fuel-use figure. |
Settings and the finished strip
Sunyoung says heating and drum motion can be adjusted, but prints no temperature, drum speed or time range. A trial on your leaf gives the working settings. Pan and drum work for green tea is one of the stages our tea processing machinery guide walks through.
Define leaf in and tea out
Note the process before frying and the leaf condition, and agree the strip and dryness you want.
Get the operating limits
Ask for charging, heating and drum-motion instructions for your build, plus the internal baffle layout and drum speed.
Run your leaf
Use the chosen heat source and Sunyoung's recommended settings, keeping each lot labelled.
Grade the result
Check strip form, breakage and moisture by the agreed method, and note time and settings.
Check the hand-offs
See how leaf arrives from the step before and leaves for the next. Conveyors are a separate item.
Buyer questions
Is there a gas 6CCP-60?
The 60 rows list coal and electricity; gas is listed only with coal on the 110. Ask Sunyoung in writing if you need a gas 60. [2] [3]
What does the slash in the fuel heating column mean?
Only that no figure is printed for the fuel builds. They still need heat, so ask for the furnace rating and fuel use. [2] [3]
What to fix in the order
Sunyoung's drum photo shows fittings under the drum without naming the model or fuel set. The quote and drawings should spell out the heat package. Sunyoung's own tea heating furnaces cover gas, electric and solid fuel, so name the one you want.
| Order detail | What to settle |
|---|---|
| Size and heat source | Model and build that match the dimensions you planned for, with operating instructions. |
| Fuel equipment | Furnace or burner, fuel controls, supply and exhaust needs. Ask for fuel consumption, since none is printed for these rows. |
| Electrics | Full connected load, voltage and frequency, drive, heater and control protection. |
| Drum and contact parts | Contact materials, internal layout, cleaning and access. Ask for the steel grade and any certificate. |
| Drive and wear parts | Spare parts and service instructions for your drum and heat build, with access clearances. |
