Tobacco stem classifying and processing method

Abstract

The invention relates to a tobacco stem classifying and processing method. The tobacco stem classifying and processing method comprises the following steps of classifying tobacco stems by one or more methods of spectrum pickup classification, multi-stage vibrating screening classification and winnowing classification and removing heads from the tobacco stems; conveying the classified tobacco stems into temporary storage stations respectively, washing and moistening each kind of tobacco stems according to the production requirement, and conveying the tobacco stems into a storage cabinet or box type small-sized three-dimensional elevated library respectively to store; steaming and pressing the tobacco stems sequentially so as to press the tobacco stems into flat shapes; and finally conveying the flattened tobacco stems into the subsequent stem-cutting procedure. According to the invention, the filamentation ratio of the cut stems is increased, the uniformity of the cut stems is improved and the quality of the cut stems is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tobacco stem processing in tobacco production and processing. Background technique [0002] The traditional understanding of tobacco stems is that the use value is not high. Compared with tobacco leaves, tobacco stems have a heavier woody gas. Therefore, in cigarette production, the proportion of cut stems mixed with finished tobacco is generally low. Among them, the treatment of tobacco stems is: regardless of the place of origin, grade, and physical form of the tobacco stems (mainly the size of the stem diameter), all kinds of tobacco stems are mixed together and put into the production line until the cut stems are produced. This relatively extensive and unified processing method does not process the differences of tobacco stems separately. In the process links such as stem pressing, stem cutting, and stem drying, there are great differences in the thickness of the pressed stem slices, resulting in a la...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

This relatively extensive and unified processing method does not process the differences of tobacco stems separately. In the process links such as stem pressing, stem cutting, and stem drying, there are great differences in the thickness of the pressed stem slices, resulting in a large difference in the thickness of the cut stems. The shreds are uneven, and the cut stems are dried to produce more stems, which greatly reduces the percentage of shredded stems, thereby increasing consumption, and also affecting the quality and use of shredded stems

At the same time, the shredded stems made of mixed tobacco stems cannot be blended separately for cigarette brands, which reduces the use value of tobacco stems and affects the taste of cigarettes
