Great Heat, Greater Precision: How 20-Head Multihead Weigher Preserve China's Seasonal Flavors

     Great Heat (Da Shu) is the 12th solar term in China's 24-seasonal calendar, marking the peak of summer heat. For centuries, it has been a time when Chinese people savor specific seasonal foods—from juicy lychees to aromatic herbal teas—rooted in the wisdom of 'harmony with nature'.

     As these traditional flavors gain global popularity, modern food producers face a challenge: how to scale production while preserving the authenticity of these seasonal treats. The answer lies in precision—specifically, the UUPAC's 20-Head Multihead Weigher.

What is "Great Heat" and Its Seasonal Flavors?

    In Chinese culture, each solar term is tied to 'eating with the seasons'—a practice believed to balance health and nature. During Great Heat (Da Shu), the hottest period in the 24 solar terms, the focus shifts to cooling, nourishing foods and drinks that help the body adapt to sweltering temperatures. This wisdom of 'harmony with nature' is deeply rooted in daily life, especially in what we consume.

• Lychees: Known as the 'king of fruits' in summer, lychees ripen during Great Heat. Their sweet, juicy flesh is a symbol of abundance, but their delicate texture makes them tricky to process in bulk.
• Tea, a beverage beloved worldwide, takes center stage in Great Heat. In Chinese tradition, certain teas—like longjing (dragon well), biluochun, or chrysanthemum tea—are considered 'cooling' for the body during hot weather. Whether loose-leaf, crushed, or blended into herbal infusions, these teas require precise portioning to maintain their distinct aroma and flavor, a tradition passed down for centuries.
• Mixed nuts & dried fruits: As a refreshing snack to beat the heat, mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts) and dried fruits (like dates or raisins) are popular during Great Heat. They're often packed into convenient portions, needing accurate weighing to ensure consistent quality for consumers.

The Challenge of Scaling Seasonal Flavors

    For food manufacturers, bringing these seasonal flavors to global markets means balancing speed, accuracy, and consistency. Traditional weighing methods—slow, error-prone, and inconsistent—risk wasting delicate ingredients (like lychee pieces) or compromising flavor (by over/under-dosing herbal tea blends). Great Heat's high temperatures add another layer——ingredients spoil faster, so production lines need to be efficient to preserve freshness. This is where precision meets urgency.

How UUPAC's 20-Head Multihead Weighers Solve the Problem

• Precision for delicate ingredients: Lychee pieces, herbal tea granules, or small nuts—our 20-Head Multihead Weigher uses advanced algorithms to weigh even fragile or irregularly shaped items with 0.1g accuracy. No more crushed fruit or imbalanced tea blends—preserving the integrity of seasonal flavors.
• Speed for heat-sensitive production: With 20 heads working simultaneously, it achieves up to 120 weighments per minute—critical for Great Heat's tight timeline. Faster weighing means ingredients spend less time in production, keeping them fresh from factory to shelf.
• Versatility for diverse seasonal foods: Whether it's granular tea leaves, watermelon chunks, or mixed nuts, the weigher adapts to multiple textures—just like how Chinese cuisine embraces diverse seasonal bounty.

    At UUPAC, we believe technology should honor tradition. The 20-Head Multihead Weigher does more than streamline production—it helps preserve China's time-honored tradition of "eating with the seasons" as these flavors reach global consumers. It ensures that the flavors of Great Heat can be enjoyed by more people, more efficiently.

    Great Heat reminds us that some of life's best flavors are tied to time and tradition. With our 20-Head Multihead Weigher, we're proud to help preserve those flavors—one precise weighment at a time. This season, let precision bring China's seasonal wisdom to the world.
