Myddleton Stalk Extractor

The “Myddleton Stalk Extractor” is the first machine used to separate Orthodox tea. Tea stalk fibres are separated prior to grading. Only “Myddleton” machinery can separate stalks from bulk orthodox tea. 

Mechanism

Mechanism is simple in design. Twin Tea is collected and delivered by ducts at the sidewalls of the machine through main frames made of seasoned wood OR steel-fabricated trays, as proved, consisting of aluminium dimpled-perforated sieves.

While stalks, fibres, and tea lumps continuously float on the surface and are discharged at the discharge end of the machine, the fine teas pass through the sieves of two different sizes of perforation due to the oscillating motion imparted to these sieve-frames. It is crucial to keep a running layer of the bulk that is between 1″ and 1.5″ thick from start to finish. To achieve the best results, the operator must feed between 1500 and 2000 kg per hour.

Maintenance

Almost no maintenance is necessary for this device. Only periodic charging of grease is required in the plumber blocks and big-end housings.

Sieves

The mechanism is simple in the design. The tea is collected and sent through ducts on both sides of the machine by means of twin frames made of seasoned wood and aluminium dimpled-perforated sieves.

Adjustments

One needs to make two fundamental modifications. First, control the drop on the sieves at the feed hopper’s discharge point, then control the slope of the sieves.
