Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for improving the fillability of tobacco, as cut tobacco leaves or ribs and/or tobacco additives, by treatment of the tobacco material, which initially has up to 15 wt. % moisture with a treatment gas consisting of nitrogen and/or argon at pressures of 50 to 1,000 bar with continuous or graduated compression followed by continuous or graduated decompression, in which the compression or decompression stages take place in either an autoclave or with cascade-type switching in several autoclaves, followed by thermal after-treatment of the tobacco material discharged.
  • a treatment gas consisting of nitrogen and/or argon at pressures of 50 to 1,000 bar
  • DE 34 14 625 C2 discloses a cascade method, according to which, by the most widely varying measures such as cooling of the treatment gas before loading of the reactor, cooling of the autoclaves or use of an undercooled and liquefied treatment gas, a low operating temperature is to be effected during impregnation of the tobacco. It is true that the tobacco moisture may lie anywhere, for instance within the range of 10-30 wt. %, however it is expressly required that the autoclave temperature and/or its cooling water temperature must not exceed 50° C.
  • the aim of the invention is to improve the existing INCOM methods and with equally good or better values with regard to fillability or expansion effect, to avoid the uneconomical cooling measures during compression which have hitherto been regarded as necessary.
  • the high pressure treatment was carried out in a laboratory autoclave with a used content of 2l .
  • a casing for circulation of liquid media was used to adjust the desired operating temperatures.
  • the build-up of pressure was carried out from below, the reduction in pressure upwards.
  • a compressor was used to adjust the final pressure.
  • a thermocouple element measured the tobacco temperature in the upper tobacco filling section.
  • the laboratory device for thermal after-treatment consisted of a permeable wire gauze serving as a conveyor belt, baffles for formation of the tobacco mat in the desired width, a steam nozzle with slit-type outlet and a steam suction device arranged under the belt. The after-treatment was carried out with saturated steam.
  • T A means the tobacco temperature immediately before removal from the autoclave as discharge temperature and ⁇ % means the relative improvement in fillability and/or degree of expansion.
