A DEVICE FOR BETTER PROCESSING OF TEALEAVES IN A CONTINUOUS MANNER FROM A CONTINUOUS TYPE OF TEA PROCESSING MACHINE

摘要

pThe invention relates to continuous tea rolling machines of the type having a rotatory or oscillatory roller or rotor R, Figure 1 within a stationary or reciprocating cylinder or barrel C and provides in or for such a machine a device 1 for varying and controlling pressure on withered tea leaves when processed in the machine, such device comprising an annular or ring shaped pressure cap mounted on the end of the roller or rotor near the discharge end of the machine, means 6, Figure 2 for adjusting the position of the cap along the roller or rotor and means 12 for applying variable force on the pressure cap, the pressure cap being adapted to constrict the passage of tea leaves through the said discharge end, such constriction being variable by varying the position of the pressure cap on the roller or rotor.
