Abstract

Optimal parameters of extrusion process are grounded and experimental extruder for processing finedispersing tea mass is made on the basis of carried out theoretical and experimental researches. Energy and resourcesaving marchinery technology of processing granular tea of high quality was worked out and improved on the base of extruder. The main physicomechanical and chemical indicators of initial raw material and granular tea were defined. Considerable superiority of the new energy and resourcesaving technology of processing granular tea compared with the acting one according to quality and chemical composition of made product was established. Parameters of producing granular natural and multicomponent tea with additive of medicinal – nutritional raw materials were worked out at an invension level.
