Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide the title tea-leaf drier which can give tea leaves of high quality without uneven drying in high heat efficiency with low energy costs by irradiating tea leaves with far infrared rays, as the tea leaves are fluidized by vibration. CONSTITUTION:Tea leaves are fed from hopper 5 to the drier 2 at a certain rate and vibrated with trough 8 and vibrator 9. Simultaneously, the tea leaves are irradiated with far infrared ray irradiator over the trough 8, preferably with rays of 6-9mum of wavelength to effect drying. Then, the dried leaves are sent into the product box 26 to give the subject tea leaves.

(b) Conventional technology Traditionally, drying, which is the finishing process of tea manufacturing, is carried out by raising the atmospheric temperature in the furnace body or container using hot air and heating the tea leaves by convection or conduction.

(c) Problems that the invention seeks to solveHowever,
With the above-mentioned finishing drying using hot air, it is difficult to dry the tea leaves uniformly.For example, the tips of the tea leaves are thin, so they are easily overheated and become powdered tea, and the stems and buds are not dried properly. There are problems in that the tea leaves are not heated properly, resulting in a strong bitter and astringent taste and a dark green flavor, making it difficult to fully bring out the flavor and flavor of the tea leaves.In addition, when heating with hot air, convection heat and conduction heat are the main sources. Therefore, heating to the inside of the tea leaves required high temperatures and long heating times, consuming several times the net heat required for drying and pasteurizing the tea leaves.

そのため、茶葉の乾燥度に応じて加熱温度を迅速に調節
することが困難であった。
Therefore, it has been difficult to quickly adjust the heating temperature depending on the degree of dryness of the tea leaves.
