The moisture regain is used as a first key process in the cigarette shred processing link and is also an important process influencing the sensory quality of cigarettes. The existing moisture regaining process mainly comprises three processing modes of loosening and regaining moisture, vacuum regaining moisture and first vacuum and then loosening and regaining moisture. The moisture regaining aims to loosen tobacco flakes, increase the moisture content and temperature of tobacco leaves, improve the processing resistance of the tobacco leaves, meet the processing requirements of subsequent procedures, remove green miscellaneous gas and optimize the sensory quality of the tobacco leaves. Different processing modes and processing strengths not only have important influence on the physical quality of the tobacco leaves, but also have obvious influence on the sensory quality of the tobacco leaves.
The loosening rate of the processing mode of independent loosening and moisture regaining can reach 99.2 percent, the loosening effect is good, but the processing strength is relatively low, and the green miscellaneous gas removal is relatively weak. The processing mode of independent vacuum moisture regaining has high processing strength, but the added moisture is limited. The processing mode of first vacuum and then loosening and moisture regaining has lower rate of regaining permeability and poorer uniformity of moisture, and in order to achieve higher rate of regaining permeability, the step of vacuum moisture regaining needs higher processing strength. However, too high processing strength results in deepening of the color of the tobacco leaves and deterioration of the sense of the tobacco leaves.
Therefore, how to provide a moisture regaining process with proper processing strength, which can effectively remove green miscellaneous gases and improve loosening rate and moisture uniformity becomes a technical problem to be solved in the field.
