A bespoked Vortex Spout extends 152 mm to allow different teas to be fed into a blending drum.

Loading spout handling tea

Last year, a tea & coffee merchant in the United Kingdom contacted Vortex Global to discuss a process need. Various types of tea leaves were being fed into a blending drum. Because tea leaves have explosive potential, a solution was needed to control fine material particulate. As tea processing is also held to the highest food and beverage safety standards, the solution must also be compliant with these regulations.

Features:

This Vortex retractable spout is actuated pneumatically by three Vortex air cylinders, replacing the Vortex Loading Spout’s standard electric motor and 4-cable hoist drive system. For beverage safety, the spout’s material contact areas are constructed from 304 stainless steel, with all welds ground and polished to a 52RA/#3 finish.

The spout utilises a stainless steel tube-in-tube design, with all welds ground and polished to a #3 finish (52RA). The blue neoprene-coated outer sleeve is ATEX-approved and is static dissipative to address the potentially explosive environment. It also carries a 21 CFR rating for food and beverage contact.


Results:

The spout extends 152 mm to allow different teas to be fed into a blending drum. During the filling of the blender, fine material particulate is removed through an external dust collection port. Once all the teas have been introduced, the spout is retracted, the blender is secured, and the blending process begins. Upon completion, blended tea is transported to be packaged and the process commences again.

Vortex Loading Spouts are bespoke to meet the application requirements of clients worldwide.
