Description

The principle of operation, running, controller, and efficiencies give a greater advantage than conventional dryers. Fermented tea is fed through a Feed Controller into the drying chamber.

Hot air from the Heater passes through the Plenum Chamber, which has a perforated tray carrying the wet tea. The tea bed is effectively fluidized by a combination of hot air and vibration.

Tea is dried in one pass. Saturated exhaust air is thrown out, while re-usable air can be re-circulated to further improve thermal efficiency. Fired fibres and fines are collected in cyclones.
