With this configuration, since the inclination angle of the wire mesh drum can be changed, for example, when the fresh leaves are dry leaves, the sieving process is performed without supplying the wind with the inclination angle increased, and In the case where is a dew leaf, it is possible to perform a water removal process by supplying hot air while keeping the inclination angle small. In addition, since the rotation speed of the wire mesh drum can be changed, the rotation speed of the wire mesh drum can be set to an appropriate rotation speed at which the tea leaves in the wire mesh drum rise to the place of the air guide according to the tea season and tea quality,
From these facts, a water removal treatment, a sieving treatment, and the like according to the state of fresh leaves can be performed more appropriately.

生葉への混入を防ぐ。When the fresh leaves are conveyed in the wire mesh drum 3, cut leaves, tree stalks or dust (hereinafter referred to as cut leaves) fall from the mesh of the wire mesh having a predetermined mesh to separate from the fresh leaves (sieving). However, at this time, since the fresh leaves are dry leaves, by setting the inclination angle α of the wire mesh drum 3 to be large, the conveying speed of the fresh leaves is increased, and the efficiency of the sieving process is enhanced. The cut leaves and the like separated from the fresh leaves are placed (supplied) on the transport belt 25 of the transport conveyor 5, and
It is conveyed in a predetermined direction by the conveyor 5 and is supplied to either the vibration conveyor 7 or the vibration conveyor 11. At this time, when the number of leaves is small, for example, when the number of leaves is small, the forward and reverse rotation motor 26 is rotated forward to supply the leaves and the like to the vibrating conveyor 7 so that the leaves are mixed again with the fresh leaves. However, when there are many cut leaves, etc., the forward / reverse rotation motor 26 is reversed to supply (collect) the cut leaves and the like to the vibrating conveyor 11 to prevent the mixed leaves from being mixed with fresh leaves. .
