Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for improving the Fillability of tobacco, such as cut tobacco leaves or ribs or tobacco additives, by treating the up to about 15% by weight of starting moisture Tobacco material with one of nitrogen and / or argon existing treatment gas at pressures from 50 to 1,000 bar followed by continuous or step-like compression from a continuous or step-like Decompression, the compression and Decompression steps in either an autoclave or with cascade-like switching in several autoclaves take place, and subsequent thermal aftertreatment of the discharged tobacco material.
  • Such processes also known as INCOM inflation processes are known, have compared to the pressure treatment of Tobacco with carbon dioxide, ammonia or volatile organic gases proved to be advantageous.
  • DE 31 19 330 A1 describes such an expansion process with Autoclaves prevailing working temperatures from 0 to 50 ° C, one to increase the filling capacity or Bloating degree the use of a tobacco material with a Moisture of up to 15% by weight and an aftertreatment with Provided water vapor. It was based on the fact that a lower tobacco moisture content of 10 to 15% by weight a desired stronger cooling of the discharge Leads tobacco material while relaxing.
  • DE 34 14 625 C2 also discloses a cascade process, after which by various measures such as cooling the Treatment gas before loading the reactor, Cooling the autoclave or using a supercooled and liquefied treatment gas a low Working temperature in the impregnation of the tobacco causes shall be.
  • the tobacco moisture can be arbitrary and for example in a range from 10 to 30% by weight lie, however it is explicitly demanded that the Autoclave temperature or its cooling water temperature is not May exceed 50 ° C.
  • the invention is based, so far the task INCOM process to improve and with equally good or better values in terms of filling capacity or bloating effect those previously considered necessary and uneconomical cooling measures during compression avoid.
  • the high pressure treatment was carried out in a laboratory autoclave a used content of 2 l performed.
  • a Jacket for the circulation of liquid media was used for Setting the desired working temperatures.
  • the Pressure build-up took place from below, the pressure decrease upwards.
  • a compressor was used for adjustment the final pressure.
  • a thermocouple measured the tobacco temperature in the upper segment of the tobacco fill.
  • the laboratory device for thermal aftertreatment existed from a permeable conveyor belt Wire mesh, baffles to form the tobacco fleece in the desired width, a steam nozzle with slot-like Outlet opening and one arranged under the belt Dampfabsaugvorraum.
  • the aftertreatment was carried out with Saturated steam.
  • the tobacco samples were spread in flat plastic dishes and conditioned in a standard atmosphere at 21 ° C and 62% relative humidity.
  • the filling capacities were determined using a Borgwaldt densimeter, and the specific volume in ml / g was converted to a nominal moisture of 12% by weight and a nominal temperature of 22 ° C.
  • the experiments were carried out with tobacco moisture levels of 8, 12 and 14 and carried out as a comparison 18 wt .-%.
  • the Working temperatures were set to 40 by thermostatting 60 and 80 ° C set.
  • the final pressure was 700 bar, the Pressure reduction was carried out in a time interval of approximately 0.5 min carried out. All attempts were based on one uniform mixture of Virginia tobacco and the described aftertreatment method with saturated steam.
  • T A means the tobacco temperature immediately before removal from the autoclave as the discharge temperature and ⁇ % the relative improvement in filling capacity or the degree of expansion.
