Description

Method and device for reproducing tobacco leaves
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method and a device for reproducing tobacco leaves, which specifically comprise the following steps: the tobacco shreds in sheet form are drawn by electrostatic or negative pressure airflow and laid on a bearing body in order, then the gaps between the shreds are filled and sewed by additional fibers guided by the airflow, sticky paint is sprayed on the two sides of the shreds in sequence and then the shreds are dried into paper webs, and the reconstituted tobacco is obtained after the quality control treatment. Belongs to the technical field of tobacco sheet production in the cigarette industry.
Background
Before the tobacco leaves in the cigarette industry are purchased and put in storage, the tobacco leaves are subjected to procedures of grading, grading packaging, threshing and redrying and the like, each procedure can generate tobacco powder, broken stems and tobacco leaf fragments, the tobacco leaf fragments with larger diameters are generally mixed into the processed tobacco packets, and the tobacco powder with smaller diameters can be generated in the shredding and the subsequent procedures. According to statistics, in the cigarette processing process, tobacco residues such as tobacco powder, broken stems, tobacco leaf fragments and the like account for 5-7% of the total production amount of the cigarette. The reconstituted tobacco is a sheet or thread-shaped regenerated tobacco product (also called tobacco sheet) which is prepared by carrying out technical treatment and recombination processing on the tobacco powder, broken stems, tobacco fragments and other substances. The reconstituted tobacco is used as a filler of a cigarette product, has the advantages of saving tobacco raw materials, flexibly regulating and controlling the physical and chemical properties of cigarettes and the like, is an important component of a cigarette formula, can partially replace the tobacco, effectively reduces the natural tobacco components in the cigarettes and improves the utilization rate of tobacco resources; the physical properties and chemical components of the cigarette can be adjusted and improved to a certain extent according to the will or requirements of people, and particularly, the full utilization of the tobacco fragments generated in the treatment process of high-quality tobacco leaves is particularly important.
Known methods of reconstituted tobacco include: a roll press process, a thick stock process, a wet papermaking process, a dry papermaking process, and the like, wherein: the roll-pressing method and the thick slurry method are basically eliminated. The disclosed patents related to the wet paper-making process and the dry paper-making process for reproducing tobacco leaves include: the Chinese patent inventions "a production process of a functional paper-making reconstituted tobacco" (application number: 031428029), "a dry paper-making reconstituted tobacco and a production method thereof" (application number: 2008100301465), "a tobacco sheet and a manufacturing method and a manufacturing system thereof" (application number: 008084882) "applied in China by Nippon tobacco industries, Inc., and" a dry manufacturing method of homogenized tobacco "and an obtained product thereof" (application number: 85105001) and the like.
The wet paper-making method is the mainstream in the current reconstituted tobacco industry, and the production process comprises the following steps: the tobacco residues such as tobacco powder, broken stems, broken pieces and the like are steamed and ground into wet fiber pulp by a wet method, and then the wet fiber pulp is manufactured, coated and dried into tobacco sheets by a long mesh paper machine. The advantages are that: the finished tobacco sheet has high similarity with natural tobacco leaves in appearance and internal quality, and has good compatibility with natural tobacco shreds, and the defects are as follows: the tobacco fragrance loss is serious, the water and electricity consumption in the production process is large, the production efficiency is low, and the like, particularly, the generated waste water can not be treated almost, and even if the waste water can be effectively treated into the reclaimed water, the treatment cost of the reclaimed water accounts for the proportion of the manufacturing cost of the finished product. The dry paper-making method is an emerging research in recent years, and the processes mainly comprise two types: extracting raw materials such as broken tobacco leaves and the like, separating out extract liquor and extract slag, pulping and drying the extract slag to prepare extract slag dry fibers, mixing and adding wood pulp fibers on a dry method paper machine to carry out air flow forming to obtain a reconstituted tobacco substrate, spraying or dip-coating an adhesive and an extract prepared from the extract liquor on the substrate, drying and slitting to prepare a tobacco sheet; the disadvantages are as follows: the weight and physical shape of the granular extraction slag slurry powder and the external fiber are different, the state difference appearing in the air is too large, and the problems of extremely uneven distribution of the extraction slag and the external fiber and more extraction slag slurry powder loss appear on the forming mesh surface in the actual forming process; secondly, grinding the tobacco powder and the tobacco powder into powder of about 100 meshes, adding chitosan, adhesive, water and the like to prepare coating, spraying the coating on a wood pulp fiber substrate formed by airflow of a dry paper machine, drying and cutting to prepare the tobacco sheet. The dry papermaking method has the advantages that: the manufacturing process is relatively simple, and the pollution degree to the environment is low; the disadvantages are as follows: the controllability on the appearance and the internal quality of the product in the processing process is poor, the finished product sheet even has a layering phenomenon, the proportion of non-tobacco components in the tobacco sheet is large, a special tobacco cutter different from a natural tobacco cutter is required to be added in a cigarette factory, the cut tobacco forming rate after cutting is low, and particularly the compatibility with natural cut tobacco is poor.
The flocking step in the Chinese invention 'a method for manufacturing non-combustion type cigarette based on flocking technology' (application number: 202010305575. X) is to transplant filiform, fibrous or granular tobacco to the surface of cigarette paper by using electrostatic flocking technology, and then connect cigarette rolling process to obtain the non-combustion type cigarette. The known electrostatic flocking utilizes the physical characteristics that like charges repel each other and opposite charges attract each other to make the villus have negative charges, and the villus is attracted by plants by the different potentials when an object to be flocked is placed under the condition of zero potential or grounding, is accelerated to fly to the object to be flocked in a vertical shape and is adhered to the surface of the object in the vertical shape.
Obviously, the prior art relating to the cigarette industry or reconstituted tobacco or flocking technology does not have the following technical scheme: the method comprises the steps of uniformly and orderly spreading the flaky tobacco powder or tobacco leaf fragments in a single layer and adsorbing the tobacco powder or the tobacco leaf fragments on a bearing body, refilling and sewing gaps among the tobacco powder or the tobacco leaf fragments to form a substrate taking the tobacco powder or the tobacco leaf fragments as a main body, and then coating, drying, reeling or slicing the substrate. The beneficial effects of the innovative idea are that: the geometric advantages of the natural leaves can be utilized to the maximum extent to manufacture tobacco flakes, the tobacco flakes are not required to be smashed into paste or ground into pulp to manufacture tobacco sheets, the fragrance of the tobacco leaves is hardly lost, and the finished product has good compatibility with the natural tobacco leaves.
