AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In traditional tobacco stem processing, there is a disconnect between the fermentation and stem-making processes, resulting in low production efficiency, uneven fermentation, and reduced tobacco stem cooling and microbial activity, which affects the quality of the processed tobacco.

Method used

A continuous first conveyor belt is set up between the fermenter and the stem cutting machine to form a continuous production line, ensuring that the fermented tobacco stems are continuously transported to the stem cutting machine for cutting. Combined with a temperature and humidity control unit, the temperature and humidity inside the fermentation chamber are maintained, and a quantitative feeder is used to control the amount of material conveyed.

Benefits of technology

It improves the continuity of production, avoids the cooling and moisture loss of tobacco stems, ensures the uniformity of fermentation and the stability of tobacco quality, and solves the problem of low efficiency.

Abstract

This application relates to the field of tobacco stem processing technology, and in particular to a tobacco stem processing production line. The tobacco stem processing production line includes a stem screening machine, a stem washing and soaking machine, a first heating and humidifying machine, a liquid adding machine, a fermentation machine, a first conveyor belt, and a stem cutting machine. The stem screening machine, stem washing and soaking machine, first heating and humidifying machine, liquid adding machine, and fermentation machine are connected in series. The first conveyor belt is located between the fermentation machine and the stem cutting machine, and continuously transports the fermented tobacco stems to the stem cutting machine for processing. By setting up the first conveyor belt, the fermentation machine, the first conveyor belt, and the stem cutting machine are connected in series to form a continuous production line, which can improve production continuity and avoid problems such as tobacco stem cooling, moisture loss, and microbial activity decline caused by intermittent conveying, thus ensuring the uniformity of fermentation and the stability of tobacco stem quality.
