Arnot sorter from Vikram India has a sorting capacity of up to 1500 Kgs. The machine with its galloping motion ensures smooth sorting without greying the tea grains. The trays are made of teak wood and are fitted with wire mesh.

Design Type
• Pucca sorter machine with rendering galloping motion which saves tea while traveling on the screen from shuffling and becoming Grayish
Hopper
• Out of Stainless steel, fitted on LH & RH pedestals as such that the stored tea do not get grinded in result saving the bloom. Beater provided on tray assembly to creates little vibration on teas through a rubber diaphragm forming lower stop of the hopper, to assist the flow of tea without obstruction.
Trays
• Made of season teak wood fitted with wire mesh, all the 5 trays are of same size hence inter-changeable. The first two trays rubber bouncing balls arranged in rubber cord fitted on the bottom. These balls strikes the wire mesh very gently at every stroke of the crank, to prevent clogging of the wire mesh.
  Capacity = 1500Kgs.

Vikram's Stalk Extractor performs dual function - it makes the tea stalk-free and also grades the tea during the extraction process, without breaking or greying the grains. Two aluminium perforated trays mounted on sturdy frames help fine tea particles to pass through while the larger particles with stalk are sifted out. This machine also acts as an efficient tea grading machine.

Application
• VIKRAM's Stalk Extractor performs the dual function of making the tea more free from stalk and grades the tea during the stalk extracting operation. A further claim is also made for VIKRAM's stalk extractor that it does not break or grey the tea.
Construction
• VIKRAM's Stalk Extractor is made of two aluminium dimpled perforated trays, mounted on frames, one above the other. Each frame is provided with a false bottom, which collects and delivers the tea through ducts at the side of the machine. An oscillating motion is imparted to the trays with the help of a crank shaft, fitted on a sturdy cast iron pedestal, suitable for motor or shaft drive. Crank shaft moves at 200 RPM.
Trays
• The standard perforation in the aluminium dimpled trays is 3/16" and 17/64". Trays with specific size perforations can also be supplied. The inclination of the trays can be very simply adjusted to suit individual requirements.
Power
• One 2 HP, 960 RPM Motor is required to drive the machine.
Size
• The overall measurement of the machine are 3971 mm (158") length X 965 mm (39") width X 1284 mm (51") height.
The Dual Operation
• Tea is fed to the top tray through an adjustable feed hopper. Fine tea falls through the perforations and larger particles of the tea with stalk are discharged at the bottom tray. The remainder of the tea falls through the perforations of the bottom tray and stalk is delivered at the discharge end.

Advantages
• It effects a great saving in labour.
• It does not break or grey the tea.
• It does not require any intricate or delicate adjustment.
• It acts as a most efficient tea grading machine too.
