Challenges in Installation
Most of the machines had been operating for several years without major servicing, leading to frequent breakdowns, damaged displays, worn-out tubing, defective vibrator coils, and issues in the air dryer systems.
One of the biggest challenges was that some factories had limited downtime, requiring Braintronic engineers to complete the work efficiently without interrupting daily tea processing. Additionally, sourcing genuine spare parts for older NANTA models demanded technical expertise and precise adjustments.
We were struggling with continuous breakdowns of our NANTA 7000 machine, which affected our production quality and speed. Braintronic repaired it within a short time and restored the machine to excellent working condition. Their professionalism and technical knowledge gave us confidence, and now our sorter is running more reliably than before.

The repairs extended the lifespan of existing machines, providing cost savings to factory owners while maintaining the high standards of tea grading.
Braintronic’s skilled engineering team ensured every machine was serviced to factory-level standards, proving once again that timely preventive maintenance and expert repair can keep even older NANTA machines performing at peak efficiency.
