CONTINUOUS FERMENTING MACHINE

KEY FEATURES:

STAINLESS STEEL STRUCTURE -For ultimate Hygiene and Rust and Corrosion free operation designed completely using Computational Fluid Dynamics Software for Aero¬dynamical advantages.

HOPPERS - made of High quality Stainless Steel in an Aero-dynamical design.

PES BELT & TRACKING SYSTEM - Poly Ether Sulphone Belt with 46% open area for even Fermentation and supported by Idler Rollers and SS Skid Plates forms the Core of the Machine.Tracking Rollers are incorporated to adjust unwanted lateral movements due to Rubberized Roller.A self- cleaning easily removable Nylon Brush operated by Lever Mechanism is provided.

MODULAR AIR CONTROL ARRANGEMENT WITH AIR DUCTS - Aerodynami¬cally designed Modular Chambers with Perforated Pressure Plates to feed Humid Air is used.Each Module consists of Individual Dampers to draw only required Quantum of air. Suitable SS Air Ducts to maintain uniform air pressure throughout the length .

HUMIDIFICATION & DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM -Inorder to maintain the ambient temperature of 27 - 290C a prefabricated SS Chamber using FOGGAIR from Atomisers is used instead of Standard Humidifiers to ensure 90+ % RH and thereby eliminating Civil Work for Mist Chamber con¬struction.A Centrifugal Blower supplies the Humidified Air from the Humidification Chamber toModules through Air Ducts.

UPTURNER & PLOUGH - Specially designd Uptumer with High Quality Stainless Steel Blades in slow speed setting is used for even fermentation and maintain Grades.Rotary type Comb Plough is incorporated to break the compactness of tea and allow air beneath the surface to pass through upper layers for even fermentation.

FEED CONVEYOR WITH SPREADER - The Feed Conveyor consists of Food Grade PVC Belt along with Helical Spreader ensures regulated and even spread feed of withered leaves.


OPTIONAL FEATURES:

EXTENDED BELT -An Extended Belt to reduce the feed height and for direct feeding from CTC to Ghoogie.

VARIABLE FERMENTING TIME SETTER - To set the time limit for various fermentation limits based on ambient RH and Temperature to avoid manual effort.

CENTRALIZED OPERATING CONSOLE -V- Guided are provided on PES Belts for Zero Tracking.

VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVE - Knob driven mechanical variable speed drive facilitates wide variation in Fermenting time from 35 to 145 minutes.

AUTO BELT CLEANING MECHANISM -High Pressure Pump injecting water is fitted with PES Belt for continuously cleaning and removing residues on return circuit.

BALL BREAKERS - Full width Stainless Steel Ball Breakers with independent drive for easy cleaning is available.

OSCILLATING CONVEYOR - For feeding the rolled leaves uniformly onto the PES Belt without using the full width of the feed conveyor and spreader.

DISCHARGE CONVEYOR - To focus the discharge of the tea in the wider PES Belt from either sides or centre onto a narrower conveyor for further processing.

AUTO BELT TRACKING - A Pneumatic Auto Belt Tracking System that ensures self-aligning of belts and avoid run- off

AUTO TEMPERATURE MAINTAINENCE - The Pneumatic Individual Damper automatically regulated by PLC maintains the desired temperature in each module and maintain even fermentation despite uneven ambient conditions this eliminates individual temperature indicators.
