| Abstract: | The mobile tea shoot preconditioning device of the present invention for withering during black tea manufacture comprises of a super structure consisting in combination a base plate mounted crank shaft mechanism, a plurality of pressure pads mounted at different heights and an anti-pressure plate consisting of a rigid top supporting an endless conveyor belt. The base plate having the crank shaft mechanism is capable of providing vertical relative movement between the anti-pressure plate consisting of a rigid top supporting an endless conveyor belt on which the tea shoots are placed in such a manner that the tea shoots on the said conveyor receives desired pressure through a plurality of pressure pads mounted at different heights on the super structure. The present invention provides a mobile tea shoot preconditioning device for withering during black tea manufacture which helps in reducing the total process time coupled with reduction in energy usage and is capable of working in continuous mode, resulting in enhanced productivity. | ||
