Tea Blending
This is to cater for blending needs in the competitive tea market. The system can blend one hundred tons in ten hours. It is hygienic state-of-the-art plant. There is no human contact with the tea during the blending process. A pneumatic dust extraction system ensures that dust impurities are removed during blending.
Magnets located strategically extract ferrous metal particles. A vibro screen traps and eliminates timber shavings, scraps of paper and twine etc. from the pre-blended tea. The system employs non abrasive gravity feeding and mixing to blend the tea. Tea packages are fed on a conveyor belt in a computer generated sequence. This ensures that the specified proportions of each grade are blended together in six ton batches.
A bag splitter slits each package open and feeds the loose tea into compartmentalized silos.
Tea discharged from the silos is conveyed for final mixing into a ventricular blender. The system is operated by a professional technician from the computerized control room.
After blend quality confirmation by clients, the tea is conveyed to tea packers fitted with electronic weighing scales.
The tea is then vibrated and palletized for export.
