PURPOSE: To provide the subject conveyer so designed that a member such as a resin belt is stuckly provided in a specific mode above the bottom surface to effect making tacky tea leaves such as steamed tea leaves hard to stick.
CONSTITUTION: A member such as a resin belt 2 is stuckly provided above the bottom surface of a trough-shaped vibratory conveyer 4 for tea manufacturing, with the width of said bottom surface in the longer direction of the bottom surface and also with a slack to some extent in the width direction and a downward slope in the conveyance direction shown by an arrow. Thus, tea leaves 6 are subjected to the vertical zigzag vibration of the member as well as the vibration of the trough conveyer 4 in the conveyance direction, being conveyed without sticking owing to nontackiness of the resin belt etc. Therefore, an operation to peel off tea leaves stuck to the resin belt etc., is mitigated or becomes unnecessary.
