Condair humidification systems for tea processors enhance their tea production through improved humidity control. A system recently installed at Bajrang Tea in India is capable of providing up to 187 liters of moisture per hour. Rows of precision engineered nozzles located in the ceiling space above the CFM machines produce a fine spray that rapidly evaporates maintaining an optimum 95% relative humidity. Aditya Agarwal, director of Bajrang owners Darshananand Holdings Pvt Ltd, said "that before the JetSpray humidifiers were installed, we were unable to achieve the high humidity levels we needed. Now we've managed to virtually eliminate weight loss from the tea during fermentation."

Besides the detection of color defects (immature, moldy, discolored, insect-damaged beans) the infrared cameras detect similarly colored foreign bodies such as stones, sticks, bone fragments, glass, and plastic. The shape sizing function detect elements by area, perimeter, eccentricity, and angularity. A new Exagon interface offers a customizable homepage with widgets for easy programming making it possible to use the same sorting recipe on multiple units.
