Abstract

método e aparelho de expansão de tabaco. a presente invenção refere-se a um método para expandir tabaco, que compreende as etapas de prover o tabaco dentro de uma câmara substancialmente hermeticamente (3, 4, 24, 25, 26, 27) com pressão ambiente, em que um cilindro de pressão (12) está em comunicação de fluido com a câmara (3, 4, 24, 25, 26, 27), o cilindro de pressão (12) ainda compreendendo um pistão (14); e mover o pistão (14) do cilindro de pressão (12) de modo que a pressão dentro da câmara (3, 4, 24, 25, 26, 27) seja alterada para uma pressão diferente da pressão ambiente. quando o tabaco está provido dentro da câmara substancialmente hermeticamente vedável (3, 4, 24, 25, 26, 27) uma primeira comporta (5, 6) da câmara (3, 4, 24, 25, 26, 27) é deslocada para criar uma primeira abertura na câmara e o tabaco é inserido na câmara através da primeira abertura. após o tabaco ter sido expandido dentro da câmara, a segunda comporta (7, 8) da câmara é deslocada para criar uma segunda abertura na câmara, e o tabaco expandido é descarregado da câmara através da segunda abertura. a presente invenção ainda refere-se a um aparelho de expansão de tabaco.tobacco expansion method and apparatus. The present invention relates to a method for expanding tobacco, comprising the steps of providing the tobacco within a substantially hermetically (3, 4, 24, 25, 26, 27) chamber with ambient pressure, wherein a pressure cylinder (12) is in fluid communication with the chamber (3, 4, 24, 25, 26, 27), the pressure cylinder (12) further comprising a piston (14); and moving the piston (14) of the pressure cylinder (12) so that the pressure within the chamber (3, 4, 24, 25, 26, 27) is changed to a pressure other than ambient pressure. when the tobacco is provided within the substantially hermetically sealable chamber (3,4,24,25,26,27) a first gate (5,6) of the chamber (3,44,24,25,26,27) is displaced to create a first opening in the chamber and tobacco is inserted into the chamber through the first opening. After the tobacco has been expanded into the chamber, the second chamber gate (7, 8) is displaced to create a second opening in the chamber, and the expanded tobacco is discharged from the chamber through the second opening. The present invention further relates to a tobacco expansion apparatus.
