QUESTEA is specially designed for quality Green and Orthodox teas, and for trouble free operations. The Dryer consists of a 4’/6’ wide chamber with insulation walled construction and 3 tray circuits for 6-stage drying. Multi-pass of hot air results in higher heat transfer rate and reduced fuel consumption
  • Salient Features & Advantages
  • Technical Specifications

Specially designed steel chain with rolling contact for high load carrying capacity

Adequately glass wool insulated chamber to minimize radiation losses

New edge folded trays with thicker tray tumblers ensure no bridging ofbig bulk

Aero dynamic over-ground plenum chamber ensures uniform distribution oflow velocity air to all sections ofdrier without any turbulence

Advanced electronic tripping arrangement provided to eliminate jamming oftrays

Variable speed drive pulley arrangement for flexible retention time

In-built feeder unit with spreader and leveler for uniform feed

Compatible with a variety ofhot air generators i.e. Oil firing/ Wood firing/ Coal firing

Machine can be fitted with Dust collection system(optional)

FullyAutomatic Control System (Optional) prevents under-firing/ over-firing ofteas despite fluctuations in wither percentage

** Depends upon drier inlet temperature, altitude, drying temperature and manufacturing method of the factory
* 5 HP more needed when operating indirect heater to meet extra pressure drop in the hot air generator Due to a continuous process of development the design and specifications are subject to change without notice
CONVEYOR BELTS
  • Perfect surface - easy to scrape and clean.
  • No cracking and opening.
  • Last more than three times the rubber belts.
  • Maintenance, downtime drastically reduced.
  • No roll back, no ball formation - even fermenting and firing.
OPERATIONAL HYGIENE
  • Kaizen ensures bacteria free operating conditions.
  • Unique cutting unit cover.
  • PVC conveyor belts.
  • Frameless conveyors.
  • Minimum spillage.
ZERO SPILLAGE
  • Reduced slope of conveyors; no ball formation & roll back. Inclined side-plates and guards for effective spill proofing.
  • Full length skid plates to prevent leaf entry inside conveyor belts.
REDUCED HEIGHT
  • Provides better access for maintenance.
  • Easier roller setting and mesh adjustment.
SELF CLEANING
  • A centrally controlled water jet system is provided for quick and easy cleaning of the machine.
  • Saves man power and downtime for cleaning.
  • Specially important during rush crop season.
DRIVE FOR CONVEYORS
  • Reduced maintenance costs.
  • Positive drive - no belt slippage problems.
