Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and apparatus for dissolving, conditioning and saucing tobacco in a rotating drum.
  • US Pat. No. 4,498,486 describes a method for moistening and heating a whole tobacco bale by means of steaming in a continuous flow method before breaking up the tobacco bale.
  • US 4 471 790 discloses a method of humidifying and heating tobacco by means of steaming in a vacuum chamber. The two aforementioned methods are already due to the lack of use of a rotating drum not generic.
  • EP 0 101 270 A1 discloses a device for releasing and conditioning tobacco with a rotating drum and a slide for inserting a whole tobacco bale through an insertion opening into the drum. Directly behind the insertion opening a cutting tool is rotatably disposed in the drum, so that is rotated by rotation of the drum entering through the insertion of tobacco balls in slices.
  • EP 0 101 271 A1 discloses a device for releasing and conditioning tobacco with a rotating drum and an antechamber arranged on the inlet side of the drum.
  • pre-chamber means are provided for dividing a introduced through an insertion into the pre-chamber tobacco bale.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method and an apparatus for dissolving, conditioning and saucing tobacco, with which individual tobacco portions can be treated with a specific individual formulation, temperature and / or duration, and which provides a more accurate addition of sauce and an improved Enable blending.
  • a tobacco portion introduced into the drum remains therein until all the dissolving, conditioning and soaking steps have been carried out, and only after the emptying of the drum is a next portion of tobacco fed into the drum.
  • the process is therefore no longer continuous, but the tobacco is treated batchwise or batchwise (batch mode). This makes it possible for each portion of tobacco to be treated individually can, in particular with different adapted temperatures, different treatment periods and / or adapted or different addition of sauce. For each bale an individual recipe is possible. Overall, there is a much higher flexibility in the process.
  • Another advantage is the higher accuracy of the sauces added, because in batch mode, the entire tobacco portion is mixed with sauce. Likewise, the amount of sauce can be adapted very precisely to the weight of the tobacco portion.
  • the tobacco portions come individually from the conditioner, they can be placed under control in the blending silo.
  • a precise vote of the additives can be made to the example determined by a balance ball weight.
  • a balance ball weight By preferentially measuring the sugar content and / or the moisture of the tobacco bale before the treatment, a further individual tuning of the additives is possible.
  • the inventive method is basically suitable for the treatment of cut and leaf tobacco.
  • an entire tobacco bale is uncrushed after unpacking, in particular without prior division into slices, fed into the interior of the drum.
  • the conventional bale dividing device (slicer) can then be omitted, which significantly reduces the overall effort.
  • at most each time the amount of tobacco corresponding to a tobacco bale is located in the drum.
  • advantageously several drums can be operated in parallel become.
  • the invention is not limited to the treatment of whole tobacco bales.
  • the drum is closed prior to tobacco treatment.
  • at least one closing device is expediently provided for closing a loading opening for the tobacco.
  • Closing the drum significantly reduces heat loss and energy costs.
  • higher treatment temperatures can be achieved.
  • a pressure build-up is also possible.
