The prepared liquid is then temporarily stored in transfer containers such as plastic buckets or stainless steel tanks. Next, it is manually transferred to the flavoring material dispensing point in the manufacturing workshop, as needed. At the dispensing point, the operator inserts or connects the dispensing equipment's feed pipe to the transfer container. After manually identifying the material using a reader, the operator starts the dispensing machine through the human-machine interface to extract the flavoring material.

[0025] Within the industry, the leaf flavoring equipment on cigarette manufacturing production lines has been integrated with the cigarette processing line, achieving automation. However, in processes such as raw material proportioning, transfer, and filling, manual operation remains the primary method, with automation and intelligent applications largely absent.
