Kaizen

Another   trailblazing  CTC   machine   from T & I Kaizen "continuous improvement",   the secret  behind  Japan's success story, the  rapidly growing international concept, now a reality at T & I. Conceptualised and designed with one  underlying  objective  - quality,  the Kaizen is a culmination  of  the  highest  standards of   engineering, performance and most importantly the end product – Tea.

Features

Unique Cutting Unit Cover - Kaizen   introduces a new attribute to the CTC machine - a moving cutting unit cover. It incorporates a non-stick self cleaning belt, which moves gradually over the rollers acting as cutting unit cover and a continuous cleaning device.

Better, Long life Conveyor Belts - Kaizen  comes  with  special hygienic imported PVC belts, which has perfect surface, no cracking and opening. 
Heavy Duty Construction - More  rigidity  and  vibration  free operation.  Enables  interchangeability of fittings.
Machine Height Reduced - Provides better access for maintenance
Bearing Sleeves - Hardened and ground bearing sleeves are provided on the mandrel bearing journals to ensure minimum damages to bearings.
Fast Roller Removal - Unique roller withdrawal  mechanism makes removal of roller convenient and quick 
& this eliminates top arm removal during roller change.
Chain and Sprocket Drive for Conveyors - Ensures positive drive & reduced maintenance costs.
Superior Gear Box -  Induction   hardened   shafts   and   gears,   heavier  bearings  provided  for long trouble-free operation.
Cooling Arrangement - Cold  air  introduced  from   behind  the  rollers  prevents leaf temperature from rising, thereby increasing the quality of liquor.
