Zhejiang Hongming Tea Machinery Technology Co., Ltd.
浙江红茗茶机成套技术有限公司
Zhejiang Hongming Tea Machinery builds tea-processing equipment and sells complete black-tea process projects as well as single machines. A good enquiry opens with your fresh leaf: variety, grade, daily arrivals and the black tea you want to make. Add the rooms you have, then agree with Hongming which stages, interfaces and trial results its proposal will cover.
Start with your leaf and the tea you want
Hongming's company introduction covers R&D, production, sales and service for tea-processing equipment and process solutions. Its homepage walks through a black-tea route: fresh-leaf acceptance and spreading, withering, rolling, fermentation, initial drying, moisture equalisation, repeat drying and finishing. Hongming says a project can include a premises layout and an equipment and process plan made for the buyer.
Before you ask for a complete line, write down the leaf variety, incoming grade, picking pattern, daily arrival peaks and the product you plan to sell. Hongming can then size the stages around real batches. Ask the proposal to list which stages, handling equipment, rooms, controls, installation and commissioning are included. The recipe and the cup you aim for stay with your own tea team.
[1][2]Hongming machines for each process stage
The homepage groups Hongming's equipment by process stage. Use the groups to map your line, then ask for the data sheet of each machine you plan to buy, since capacity and controls are given model by model.
[1][2][5]Receiving and withering
Fresh-leaf tray loader, intelligent spreading and withering machines, continuous withering equipment and stepped withering troughs. Plan batch arrival, tray handling and holding space.
Rolling and fermentation
Automatic pneumatic rolling units, fresh-air variable-temperature fermentation rooms and continuous fermentation rooms. Ask for chamber size, airflow, loading method and control details.
Drying and finishing
Initial drying, deactivation and moisture-equalisation units, final dryers, simulated-charcoal electric roasting, aroma optimisation and compound-heat-source roasters. Agree process scope and utilities stage by stage.
Monitoring
Hongming presents a digital monitoring platform for its tea equipment. Ask for the sensor list, communication protocol, remote-control scope, data retention and subscription terms.
Models and specifications
Quote the exact model, configuration and operating conditions together, and ask the factory to confirm current availability.
HONGMING Fresh-Air Variable-Temperature Tea Fermentation Room
HONGMING's fresh-air variable-temperature fermentation room ferments black tea after rolling. It works in batches and takes 600 市斤 of rolled leaf per batch, about 300 kg at 0.5 kg per 市斤, spread on 30 fermentation frames. The room measures 3.3 × 2.8 × 2.2 m and runs on 380 V with 10 kW power. Temperature, humidity and time are adjustable, and fresh air is exchanged continuously. HONGMING publishes no model code, control ranges, airflow or batch time, so ask for these with your quotation and confirm the room on a trial batch of your own leaf.
Ask the factory for the current specification sheet for this model.
Read the full specification record ↗HONGMING 6CWF/6CDF Continuous Tea Withering Line
Catalogue reference: 6CWF-90C / 6CDF-90C / 6CWF-180C / 6CDF-180C
HONGMING's continuous tea spreading and withering line comes in two sizes: 6CWF-90C/6CDF-90C and 6CWF-180C/6CDF-180C. The table gives 500 kg or 1000 kg of fresh leaf per batch, with 50 kW or 100 kW installed power, and the page says the line runs two batches per day. It combines dehumidification and moisture exhaust with air exchange, adjustable temperature, humidity and airflow, and automatic leaf turning, pushing and blending. Choose a size from a trial on your leaf and a full handling and utility layout, and ask HONGMING to state hourly output in writing if you need one.
Ask the factory for the current specification sheet for this model.
Read the full specification record ↗Hongming Fresh Tea Leaf Tray Loader
Hongming's fresh-leaf tray loading machine spreads freshly picked tea leaves onto withering trays. Spreading thickness adjusts to leaf variety, shape, weight and grade. Hongming lists 15 seconds per tray, a 1.2 × 0.8 m spreading tray, a 3.7 × 1 × 1.5 m machine, 220 V and 0.75 kW. It is sold without a model code. To turn the tray cycle into kg/h, ask for the leaf mass per tray and run a demonstration on your own leaf and trays.

Fresh-leaf tray loader: size, cycle and power
The fresh-leaf tray-loading machine is sold under its product name, with no model code. Hongming says spreading thickness adjusts to leaf variety, shape, weight and grade, and that the machine spreads more evenly with less handling damage than manual work. Check those results in a trial on your own leaf.
[3]| Published loader detail | What to settle with Hongming |
|---|---|
| 1.2 × 0.8 m spreading trays | Outer size, usable mesh area, tray depth, loading direction and tray construction. If you already own trays, ask for an interface drawing. |
| 15 seconds per tray | Whether the time includes tray exchange and leaf refilling, and the leaf mass per tray. Both are needed to turn the cycle into kg/h. |
| 3.7 × 1 × 1.5 m; 220 V; 0.75 kW | The layout drawing and electrical schedule, with service clearance, phase, frequency and connection details. These figures cover the loader alone. |
Is this a fit for your project?
Based on the manufacturer's published range.
A good fit for
- Planning several tea-processing stages with one supplier, up to a tailored black-tea equipment and process proposal.
- Quoting the fresh-leaf tray loader against your existing trays and room layout.
- Discussing electric tea roasting with a maker named on a roasting patent application.
Confirm in writing before ordering
- Line capacity on an agreed leaf and batch basis, the balance between stages and the installed utility load.
- Room layouts, controls and interfaces, leaf-contact materials and the cleaning procedure.
- Trial method, the exact machines delivered, installation scope and support terms.
Agree acceptance across the linked stages
Ask Hongming to show the links between stages and the pass criteria before installation. Its public pages give no plant throughput study or commissioning protocol, so agree these points with Hongming and your tea producer's technical team.
[1][2][3]Incoming leaf basis
Record varieties, grades, arrival peaks and the batch conditions used in demonstrations. Keep fresh-leaf mass and finished-tea mass apart.
Handling between stages
Draw the trays, trolleys, transfers and buffers. Mark where operators load, move, clean and inspect.
Utilities and rooms
Request load schedules, layout drawings and the room conditions each stage needs, as a finished engineering design for your site.
Trial and commissioning
Agree machine readings, batch records and product assessment with qualified specialists. Uniformity, aroma and leaf-damage results should come from an agreed trial method with a comparison batch.
Electric tea-roasting patent application
Published application CN110771701A, dated February 2020, names Zhejiang Hongming Tea Machinery Complete Technology Co., Ltd. (in Chinese) and Zhejiang University as applicants for a simulated-charcoal electric tea-roasting device. The application gives an address in Shangyu, Shaoxing; the current website shows a different street address in the same district. It links Hongming to this roasting design and to a university partner.
The document is an application. It covers the roasting device only, and says nothing about the tray loader. If patent cover matters to your purchase, ask Hongming for the current legal status and which commercial roaster uses the design, together with energy and quality test data for that roaster.
[4][1]Build quality, drawings and after-sales support
Hongming's introduction mentions its own production equipment and testing capability. The technical page shows patent and monitoring illustrations; a full equipment manual or integration specification is not published.
For a project quote, request drawings, materials and cleaning instructions for leaf-contact surfaces, maintenance access, control documents and a spares list for the actual machines. Ask about weld inspection, food-contact declarations and serial traceability, and whether you can visit the factory. Clarify who installs, commissions and trains operators, what the buyer supplies, and the warranty and support terms. The site also lists project cases and dispatch news; ask Hongming for customer references you can contact.
