PRINCIPAL
Based on extensive R&D and field data it is proved that
two temperative drying is ideally suited for tea as it enables
immediate arrest of fermentation and chemical reactions and
minimises loss of vital organic compound. The tea which is spread
on the bed is fluidised by the combination of hot air and
vibration of stainless steel Grid Plate. The bed vibrates while
the hot air is passed from underneath the perforated plate and
removes moisture from the wet tea. The fired fiber particles and
dust are collected in the cyclone. The exhaust hot air is
recirculated to improve the fuel effeciency.The dryer is suitable
for any type of Heater, Oil, Coal, Wood fired heaters, steam and
gas.
CONSTRUCTION
Steelsworth Vibratory Fluid Bed Dryer consists mainly of Vibratory chamber, Internal and
External cyclone, hot air fan and duct, cold air blown with mix chamber. The grid plate
vibrates on the crank which is driven by a motor. The vibrating system comprises of special
springs designed for prolonged life.
