Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for Improvement of the filling capacity of tobacco according to the preamble Main claim.
  • the INCOM blowing method according to, for example, DE 31 19 330 A1, DE 34 14 625 C2 and DE 39 35 774 C2 enforced.
  • tobacco roughly in the form of cut tobacco leaves or ribs, having an initial moisture content of up to about 30% by weight with one consisting of nitrogen and / or argon Treatment gas at pressures of 50 to 1,000 bar one exposed to continuous or step-like compression, what is a continuous or step-like Decompression connects.
  • the compression and Decompression steps are carried out either in an autoclave or in a cascaded circuit in several autoclaves.
  • the discharged tobacco material is a subjected to thermal aftertreatment, in which the It inflates tobacco and thus increases the filling capacity of the tobacco.
  • EP 484 899 B1 a method for Treatment of the tobacco with carbon dioxide at pressures of about 30 bar known, in which the thermal treatment by Feeding the tobacco into high temperature steam or into a 50 to 95 vol .-% water vapor-containing gas with heating of the Tobacco is carried out in the flowing medium at 200 to 350 ° C, wherein Water or steam at a lower temperature downstream of the tobacco feed station to Lowering the temperature of the flowing medium is used.
  • the case by means of heat transferring flowing media a moisture of about 2 to 3 wt .-% dried tobacco is then adjusted to its normal humidity again.
  • the nitrogen and / or argon-treated tobaccos require much less energy to desorb the ingested gases and the associated expansion of the tobacco than the CO 2 -treated tobaccos, so that INCOM Process in contrast to the CO 2 process no taste impairments occur. Furthermore, in the thermal aftertreatment of tobacco treated with nitrogen and / or argon, heat is transferred to the cold tobacco by the condensation of water vapor, and the desired moisture content of the expanded tobacco is achieved during the further course of the thermal aftertreatment by drying.
  • the invention is based on the object, in the INCOM method the thermal aftertreatment with nitrogen and / or argon treated tobacco so that a uniform product quality with optimum filling capacity is reached.
  • Permanent gas in this context is any gas understood, which together with steam during drying can be used, such as air, if necessary mixed with Nitrogen and / or argon or other inert gases.
  • the permanent gas is substantially air used, with the regulation of the proportion of air indirectly by means of a measurement of the oxygen content.
  • Air content of the flowing heat transfer medium is preferably 20 to 50% by volume and in particular 25 to 40% by volume.
  • the temperature of the heat-transferring Medium at 120 to 300 ° C, and the tobacco moisture of the pressure-treated tobacco should be before the thermal After treatment 8 to 25 wt .-% amount. It is further expedient if the tobacco moisture after the thermal After treatment 8 to 15 wt .-% is.
  • the method according to the invention is carried out in such a way that the thermal aftertreatment, the supply of superheated steam in a closed system according to the known principle of Electric drying takes place, in which the permanent gas downstream of the hot steam feed in the area of Outfeed of the heat-treated tobacco is fed and after cooling of the expanded tobacco and discharge the same subsequently under regulation of the constancy of the Proportion of permant gas with further water vapor in the closed circuit is circulated.
  • This is in particular a rapid reduction of the tobacco temperature and so that the fixation reaches the filling capacity.
  • tobaccos treated with a current dryer according to FIG. 1 according to the INCOM process were aftertreated as follows.
  • the volume flow of the registered tobacco was 1250 kg / h, the volume flow of the circulating heat transfer medium from superheated steam and air 7315 m 3 / h.
  • the fraction of steam and permanent gas which can be deduced via the measurement of the oxygen content was measured at constant power of the heater in accordance with a gradation of the oxygen content of 1.3, 7.5 and 15% by volume corresponding to a permanent gas content of 6.5, 37 and 75, respectively Vol .-% and an associated opposite change in the measured before the tobacco entry flow temperature in the range of 185 to 165 ° C varies.
  • the diagram shows the dependence of the filling capacity of the expanded tobacco from the measured oxygen content in the heat transfer medium and the possibility with help set this process variable optimal process conditions can.
