Description

The Kaysons Withering Trough is a 6 ft wide × 70 ft long fixed trough designed for green leaf withering in orthodox tea factories. The trough body is built on an angular MS framework and covered with weld mesh and wire mesh to allow maximum airflow through the leaf bed.

Twin 1000 mm axial flow fans with round-to-rectangle transition pieces deliver uniform forced air across the full trough width, ensuring consistent withering results across every batch.
