Tobacco peduncle granule production process

Abstract

The invention relates to a process of preparing tobacco stalk granule, comprising following steps: (1) expanding and drying stalk with microwave drying machine to make the water content of stalk be between 4%-10%; (2) granulating stalk; (3) humidifying the granular stalk to make the water content be increased to 10-20%; (4) adding flavoring agents into granular stalk; (5) storing. The filling value of produced granular stalk is higher and the cut tobacco consummation can be greatly reduced, the wooden smell can also be reduced, and the coke tar and nicotine content can be considerably reduced. The invention is characterized by simple and successive process and low treating cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of processing tobacco stems. Background technique [0002] Tobacco stems are an important part of tobacco leaves, and after separation of stem leaves, tobacco stems accounting for about 25% of the total weight of tobacco leaves can be obtained. Tobacco stems are tough and have the function of transporting nutrients and water during the cultivation and growth of tobacco. Therefore, the chemical components it contains are basically the same as those of leaves, but the effective content is not as good as that of leaves. The specific performance is that the shredded stems made of tobacco stems have insufficient aroma during the burning and smoking process, flat taste, low irritation and energy, and heavy miscellaneous gases, especially woody miscellaneous gases. However, if the tobacco stem can be processed and utilized reasonably to make cut stems with a high filling rate, it can be used as a filling raw mater...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Because this process needs to cut the tobacco stems into shreds, it must be rehydrated before cutting to reduce crushing. In addition, in order to restore the volume of the cut stems that are mechanically compressed after cutting, it needs to be heated and dried. The process is cumbersome.

In addition, since the tobacco stems are mostly irregular cylinders, the knife door of the shredder does not press the tobacco stems stably when shredding, and the shredding effect is poor, especially short stems and broken stems are not easy to shred. The sliced ​​tobacco stems are cut out, which are easy to cause blockage and increase the smoking resistance of cigarettes
