Necessity |
| |
| |
| In the process of tea manufacture when the green leaves are converted into black tea or made tea, one can observe that there are various size of particles exist. Out of bulk, many of them do not cover marketable sizes. Those after sorting out require breaking and then re-sorting. So, for breaking these bulks Andrews Tea Breaker is necessary. |
| |
| |
| Utility |
| |
| A breaker when does not injure the quality, stretch the surface of the particles, can be adjusted instantly according to the required result, is called a "Good Breaker". "Steelsworth" tea breaker possesses these qualities. |
| |
| Design |
| |
| Designed uniquely that it does not crush the teas rather the tea passes through a limited gap and gets squeezed, in the process breaks the tea by pressure. Hence, teas do not GREY. Rollers can be adjusted while the machine is running by an operating lever provided as required. |
| |
| Provision for Convayor Drive |
| |
| The feeding should be done by a conveyor. A conveyor drive Roller is provided with the machine. Feeding should be steady and continuous. Hand-feeding is never efficient. |
| |
| Rollers |
| |
| Rollers are designed to have flutes. These are commonly used in two designs for dealing with different types of teas i.e. orthodox, C.T.C. and their various grades. There are two types that are commonly used, 8 fluted and 16 fluted Rollers. |
