Majestea

MajesTea combines the best of floor and gumlah fermentation systems. Tea  fed  by a  built-in  feeder is dropped on  to  wide stainless  steel perforated  trays. The trays  travel  slowly  and  drop  the  tea  at the discharge end. A high  speed  brush  is  also provided to clean any tea particles that may remain stuck to the trays. The tea is not "disturbed" at any point.

The MajesTea has a unique air flow system. Individual FRP Modules are aerodynamically  designed  and  fitted  with  special  heavy duty fans. These  draw ambient humidified air and blow it through the tea bed. In alternate  modules  the  direction  of  air reversed which helps in even fermentation. All essential parameters are  variable - the  thickness  of bed, fermenting time and the volume of air delivered by each fan.

Features

Drive - A composite variable speed  drive  facilitates fermenting  time  ranging  from  30  to 110  minutes.
Low Height - The   machine is horizontal and low in height-just four and a half feet.  Thus  the Majestea is easy to supervise and maintain. Watch your tea picking up a "tan" as it inches along.
Air Distribution - Each  module  is  equipped  with  an  individual  heavy  duty,  low  powered fan. Speed regulators for the fan are supplied to vary the quantum of air as desired. This makes it possible to achieve the desired temperature graph. No air ducts are required.
Cleaning Brush - A self  cleaning  high  speed  brush  cleans  the  trays  as they drop. The brush can be quickly removed for cleaning and refitted even while the machine is in operation.
Centralised Controls - A composite control console is provided for all starters,  fan regulators,  etc. The console can be suitably positioned to give easy access and control of the machine to the tea maker.
Trays - The Majestea uses sturdy, six feet wide perforated stainless steel  trays allowing optimum volume of  air through  the  leaf  spread.  Stainless steel is also superior on thermal conductivity, which is a vital characteristic of the ideal fermenting surface.
Modular Construction - Modular FRP hoppers are provided for better hygiene. It  is  possible  to  add  or reduce number of modules to match desired fermenting capacity and space.
Feed Conveyor - Majestea comes with an in-built full width feed conveyor to ensure uniform feed across the entire width of  the  machine.  This  conveyor can  be  either an extended tray feeder or hygienic belt conveyor, depending upon the type of manufacture.

Advantages

High Output - The  Majestea  is  modular  in construction,  which  enables the user to choose a machine compatible  to  his  requirement.   Throughput  ranges   between 1200 Kgs. of withered leaf per hour in a 5-module machine to 2000 Kgs. in an 8-module machine.
Neat Design - No complicated drives, ducts, air chambers etc.
No Toppling - An even tea-bed is maintained without any disturbance to the tea at any stage.
Hygiene - All parts are easily  accessible  for cleaning. No accumulation or spillage of tea, like in enclosed or multi stage machines. So Majestea is  contamination  and  bacteria  proof. The return circuit of trays is exposed for better inspection and maintenance.
Low Recurring Costs - Steel Belt  fermenter  requires  expensive  belt  replacement  in  a few years. Majestea trays will last many years. Individual trays can be replaced whenever necessary.
Minimum Handling - No ploughs, no rakes. The less the  tea is handled, the better the bloom, make and liquor.
No UV Lights - Besides being expensive and unnecessary, UV lights are a health hazard.
Better Air Control - Individual fans in each module with speed  regulators in lieu of one common fan with ducts and dampers.
Ducting Eliminated -   No   overhead  or  underground  ducts.  Installation    is   possible   even   during manufacturing season. Negligible civil work.
Versatile & Flexible - Only  Fermenter  suitable  for Orthodox also. Only Majestea offers flexible capacity by varying the number of modules.
