The invention discloses a volume control device for improving the processability of microwave expansion tobacco stems, aiming at providing the volume control device for improving the processability of the microwave expansion tobacco stems, which is simple in structure. The device comprises a barrel, a bracket, a rotating shaft, a helical blade, a steam jacket, a drain valve, a heat preservation layer, a compressed air pipeline and a plurality of compressed air nozzles, wherein a feeding opening is formed in one end of the barrel, a discharging opening is formed in the other end of the barrel, the bracket is used for supporting the barrel, the rotating shaft is rotatably arranged in the barrel, the helical blade is fixedly arranged on the rotating shaft, the steam jacket sleeves the outer wall of the barrel, the drain valve is arranged on the steam jacket, the heat preservation layer is arranged on the outer wall of the steam jacket, the compressed air pipeline penetrates into the barrel, and the plurality of compressed air nozzles are located in the barrel and communicate with the compressed air pipeline; a feeding cross valve is arranged on the feeding opening of the barrel, a discharging cross valve is arranged on the discharging opening of the barrel, and a pressure gauge and a humidity eliminating hole are arranged on the barrel. With the volume control device, the volume shrinkage degree of the microwave expansion tobacco stems after moisture regaining treatment can be greatly reduced, and thus the subsequent slicing processing is facilitated.
