We manufacture a CTC roller helix milling machine and it is suitable for milling 50 to 100 helical grooves as well as chasing circumferential grooves on large size CTC rollers. You are just required to connect the machine with a suitable power supply as we will supply this machine along with all the necessary types of equipment. This machine is very much affordable and time-saving. 

Purpose and Function

Milling helical grooves on CTC rollers, which are crucial in the tea production process. Ensures precise groove angles, uniform depth, and consistent spacing, improving the tea cutting process.

Key Components

Base Frame Rigid structure supporting all moving parts, usually cast iron for stability.  
Rotary Chuck / Roller Holding Fixture Holds the CTC roller in position. Often features angular indexing to guide helix formation.
Milling Head (Helix Cutter Unit) Mounted on a vertical or horizontal arm. Fitted with a helical gear cutter that mills grooves onto the roller.
Lead Screw & Gearbox Synchronizes the longitudinal motion of the milling cutter with the rotation of the roller. Ensures the helical groove path.
Control Panel (in modern CNC versions) Allows programming of groove depth, pitch, and helix angle. May include touchscreen interface, emergency stop, feed rate settings.
Coolant System Provides lubrication and cooling to reduce tool wear and maintain surface finish.

A CTC Roller Helix Milling Machine is a specialized machine used primarily in the tea processing industry, particularly in the production of CTC (Crush, Tear, Curl) tea. This machine is used to mill helical grooves onto the CTC rollers, which are critical for the cutting and tearing process in tea leaf processing.

Applications of Ctc Roller Helix Milling Machine

CTC Tea Manufacturing:
Milling helix grooves on rollers used in CTC tea machines.
Roller Reconditioning:
Repairing or refurbishing worn-out rollers by re-cutting helix patterns.
Tool Room Operations:
Precision milling of cylindrical rollers used in tea production machinery.
Customization of Grooves:
Creating specific groove patterns based on desired tea granule size and cut quality.
Heavy Duty Industrial Milling:
In some cases, used for other cylindrical workpiece milling requiring spiral or helical cuts.

Uses of Ctc Roller Helix Milling Machine

To ensure precise and consistent grooving on CTC rollers for optimal tea cutting performance.
To maintain the sharpness and profile of rollers for high-quality tea output.
To support efficient processing of tea leaves by creating uniform helix angles and groove depths.
To increase the life span and efficiency of CTC machines by maintaining properly milled rollers.
