Tray Type Conventional Dryer / ECP Dryer

The three-circuit ECP Dryer from PCD Industries has established a strong foothold in the tea industry due to its high moisture evaporation capacity, trouble-free operation and low maintenance cost. Backed by prompt and efficient after-sales service, the machine offers complete peace of mind.

Conventional Dryer is a versatile multi-circuit continuous dryer suitable for efficient drying of Orthodox, Green and CTC Tea. Stellar has been designed to deliver consistent drying whilst preserving the inherent bloom and liquor characteristics of the made tea. The Drying Curve has been optimized by fixing optimum tea travel ratios between the different circuits to ensure optimized drying quality. “First-in, First-out” ensure homogeneous processing and hygienic production. Tilting Trays provide all-round exposure of product surface for uniform drying

Principle of Operation:
Moist fermented leaf is uniformly spread at the feed end the Dryer through a Feed Distributor, which also works as a Ball Breaker. The Leaf particles are uniformly dried on the perforated Tray by the combined forces of the hot air forced through the specially designed perforations and the tilting action of the trays at the end of each circuit. The drying is completed in three stages over three-temperature zones at a controlled rate and the correctly fired tea with high quality values is discharged from the Drier. With Feed and Discharge being at the same end the monitoring of the equipment is simplified.
