Process for processing filament-shaped stem and strip-shaped stem simultaneously

Abstract

Provided is a process for processing a filament-shaped stem and a strip-shaped stem simultaneously. The process is characterized in that the first step of tobacco stem expansion, the second step of tobacco stem storage, the third step of tobacco stem separation and the fourth step of tobacco stem classification processing are included; in the first step of tobacco stem expansion, fed tobacco stems are expanded in a stem explosion mode or a microwave mode; in the second step of tobacco stem storage, the expanded tobacco stems are stored for 5 days to two years, so that the tobacco stems are structurally solidified; in the third step of tobacco stem separation, two types of the expanded tobacco stems obviously different in size are separated through tobacco stem separation equipment, one type of tobacco stem is thin expanded tobacco stems, the width or the diameter of each tobacco stem is smaller than 5 mm, and the other type of tobacco stem is thick expanded tobacco stems, and the width or diameter of each tobacco stem is larger than 5 mm; in the fourth step of tobacco stem classification processing, according to the characteristics of the thin expanded tobacco stems and the characteristics of the thick expanded tobacco stems, classification processing is carried out in the corresponding processing process, the thin expanded tobacco stems are processed to be filament-shaped stems and the thick expanded tobacco stems are processed to be strip-shaped stems.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tobacco processing, in particular to a process for processing tobacco stems into shredded cut stems and strip cut cut stems. Background technique [0002] At present, the tobacco stem processing in cigarette factories adopts many technological processes, which are to rehydrate the tobacco stem, store the stem, cut the stem, feed the stem, expand the stem, and add flavor, that is, the processing technology of "cutting first and then expanding". The process processes tobacco stems of different sizes at the same time, and uses the same process and parameters to rehydrate the tobacco stems. The uniformity of moisture regain is poor and the energy consumption is high. The size difference is large, and most of them are sheet cut stems; the shape of sheet cut stems is quite different from that of cigarette leaves, resulting in poor blending uniformity of the two, and fluctuations in weight and draw resistance of...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

This method has the following deficiencies: (1) Mixing and processing expanded tobacco stems with different thicknesses using the same process and parameters will result in uneven moisture content after the tobacco stems regain moisture; Large, it is not easy to compact during the slicing process, the thick stems will run away during the slicing process, and the thin stems will be cut many times, resulting in a large number of stem heads and fines, which seriously affects the uniformity of the size of the stem slices, resulting in After the stem slices are shredded, there are more stem heads and stem ends, and the size of the cut stems is uneven, resulting in a decrease in the quality of the subsequent processing and the stability of the final cut stem quality

(2) The thickness of cut stems is 0.15mm-0.5mm, and the width of cut stems is 0.8mm-1.2mm. In the case of thin stems and easy deformation, it is difficult to guarantee the width of cut stems. "Thick" shredding method will produce a large number of stalk ends, and the size and shape of the stalks vary greatly

(3) When feeding the stalk slices, the stalk slices are thick, large and uneven, and the absorption effect on the feed liquid is not good, which in turn affects the effective removal of the woodiness and bad smell of the finished stem shreds, and it is difficult to improve the sensory quality
