The invention discloses a papermaking tobacco sheet pulp grinding process. Specifically speaking, under the light beating condition, three-stage light beating flexible pulp grinding is adopted, each stage needs at least two pulp grinding machines, pulp concentration is decreased gradually, and size circulation process is controlled. In prepared size, fibers with the length of 0.5-1.25mm reach more than 63%, bulk degrees of base tabs reach 2.8-3.0cm <3>/g, spreading rates, filling values, burning velocity of finished sheets are improved greatly, tar contents and carbon oxide contents are reduced greatly, and the bulk degrees of the finished sheets reach 2.3-2.5cm<3>/g. The number of pulp grinding machines arranged in the first stage, the second stage and the third stage in a serial connection mode is respectively 4, 3 and 2. The pulp grinding concentration in the first stage, the second stage and the third stage are respectively set to be 4.5-5.0%, 4.0-4.5% and 2.0-2.5%. Times of self-circulation of the size in the first stage, the second stage and the third stage are respectively 1-3 times, 1-2 times and 1-2 times. The times for which mixed size prepared in different components passes through the pulp grinding machines in the whole process are 9-22 times actually, and all nine pulp grinding machines allow constant power regulation independently.
