Definitions

  • TECHNICAL FIELD This invention relates to processing of strip tobacco, and more specifically with the rapid drying, cooling and reordering of strip tobacco in a tobacco processing plant.
  • Redrying of tobacco leaf material is common in processing of tobacco material, particularly burley tobacco, prior to use in cigarettes and after application of a heavy casing material.
  • control of the moisture content of the tobacco is a goal pursued due to the stringent requirements of specific moisture contents of the tobacco leaf needed for further processing.
  • Processing of the tobacco material including drying is preferably done at high speeds in order to keep processing costs down and keep the space required for processing in the manufacturing plant to a minimum and each step of the processing of tobacco leaf material requires the tobacco to be kept at a constant moisture content.
  • time, temperatures, and humidity for drying tobacco material affects the chemical composition and flavor of the processed tobacco.
  • strip tobacco Prior to drying, strip tobacco typically has a moisture content of around 30%.
  • the moisture content may be as low as 5% and the tobacco is left very brittle which may cause breakage of the tobacco leaf during further processing.
  • the breakage is especially pronounced as the tobacco leaf, after drying, is at around 5% moisture content.
  • the moisture content after drying must be closely controlled to the ideal content of about 5%. This close control of moisture content must be accomplished with as minimal breakage and fluctuation of the moisture content and chemical composition as possible.
  • This breakage, or degradation of the tobacco leaf is remedied by the addition of moisture to the leaf material in a reordering step.
  • Remoistening of the tobacco leaf, or reordering raises the moisture content of the leaf material to around 15% so that the tobacco leaf may be further processed without further degradation and to keep the tobacco material at the optimal moisture content for further processing.
  • Reordering is typically accomplished utilizing water, steam or a combination of both in combination with tumbling of the tobacco in a rotating cylinder. This however often results in additional damage to the tobacco product. As such, the process and apparatus for drying, cooling and reordering the tobacco material is very important.
  • drying of strip tobacco is accomplished using an apron dryer.
  • air is blown from underneath the conveying means upon which the tobacco is placed, with the drying air being exhausted from above the tobacco product.
  • some dryers may include drying zones which have air being blown from the top of the drying zone through the tobacco material and conveying apparatus and exhausted through the bottom of the dryer.
  • Diffuser plates are generally used in the conveying means to even out airflow across the apron conveyor in the updraft zones. Dryers of this type have inherently high moisture variation and therefore the tobacco processed therein is susceptible to varying tastes and quality.
  • drying, cooling and reordering of tobacco prior to utilization in a cigarette manufacturing process directly affects the overall costs and chemical composition of the tobacco processed.
  • drying, cooling and reordering of tobacco prior to utilization in a cigarette manufacturing process takes in the range of 20 to 40 minutes.
  • the time required for conditioning of the material is long because, in drying, the tobacco is treated by passing the tobacco through a tortuous air flow path, tumbling the tobacco through an airstream, or the tobacco is passed over jets of air. Passing the tobacco through a tortuous air flow path causes hygienic problems, clogging problems as well as other airflow path problems which must frequently be solved. Passing the tobacco over air jets also causes great variations in drying of the tobacco bed.
  • drying of the tobacco material directly effects the generation of pyrazines in the tobacco.
  • Attempts at changing the drying process with regards to speed and drying temperature can affect the level of pyrazines in the tobacco thereby affecting substantive aspects of the processed material such as flavor and aroma. Any change in the drying process therefore must not change the composition of the tobacco as it relates to pyrazines and other constituent elements.
  • the present invention provides a method for low residence time redrying, cooling and reordering of strip tobacco material with minimal degradation of the tobacco during processing.
  • the present invention causes evenly distributed drying and moistening across the entire bed of tobacco material processed as well as only requiring a limited amount of time to fully complete the drying, cooling and reordering of the tobacco.
  • the present invention additionally provides a means for rapid drying and reordering of tobacco in large quantities which are processed in a short amount of time and in very little floor space while also keeping the handling damage of the tobacco to a minimum.
  • the method of the present invention is comprised of low residence time drying using fluidized bed technology while requiring very little processing time, total residence time being about 10% of the drying time required in prior art redrying techniques.
  • a bed of tobacco is formed on a belt conveyor.
  • the tobacco bed passes through five drying zones, each zone drying the tobacco using heated air blown from above the tobacco through a pressure plenum.
  • heated air is directed towards the upper surface of the tobacco while also preventing small fragments of the tobacco from recirculating through the dryer.
  • the tobacco is then conveyed to a cooler where the heated tobacco is cooled with ambient air being directed downwardly onto the tobacco material which is then conveyed to a reorderer which remoistures the tobacco to an appropriate moisture content.
  • the method of the present invention more particularly comprises passing strip tobacco from a bulker onto a belt conveyor at a predetermined bed depth.
  • the tobacco passes through a dryer where heated air is blown onto the tobacco at between 200°F (93.3° C) to 280°F (137.8°C) .
  • the tobacco is dried to about 5% moisture content.
  • the tobacco is then cooled utilizing ambient air to about 80°F (26.67°C) .
  • the tobacco, using vibrational conveying on an upward slope, is reordered through a steam tunnel .
  • the tobacco exhibits a moisture content of about 15% which is the moisture content required for utilization in filling cigarettes.
  • the entire time the tobacco is resident in processing is only about two minutes.
  • the present invention comprises a drying tobacco in a plurality of fluidized bed dryers using heated air; cooling said tobacco in a fluidized bed cooler using ambient air; and, reordering said tobacco in a steam tunnel in order to raise the moisture content of said tobacco.

  • Strip tobacco 12 is fed from a bulker, not shown, onto a continuous conveyor belt 1 .
  • the tobacco 12 is placed onto belt 14 at a constant depth of about 3 inches along the entire cross-section of belt 14.
  • Belt 14 passes the tobacco through each of the drying/heating zones of the dryer 38, said zones being identified as Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3, Zone 4 and Zone 5, respectfully referenced as 22, 24, 26, 28 and 30.
  • the dryer 38 is comprised of separate independently controlled heating zones so that the tobacco may be accurately processed and the drying may be finely controlled.
  • Each zone can be controlled independently, said controls including temperature, plenum pressure, and exhaust air flow.
  • Each zone of the drying process dries the tobacco 12 using known fluid bed technology, one such dryer being a Jetzone Fluid Bed unit manufactured by Wolverine Corporation.
  • Each of the zones 22, 24, 26, 28 and 30 is independently controlled and has an independent heated air intake and exhaust, as shown in Figure 1.
  • tobacco 12 is then passed into a cooler 32 which again utilizes fluid bed technology, such as the previously described Jetzone Fluid Bed unit, except without utilizing heated air at the intake.
  • the tobacco 12 is cooled using ambient air to reduce the temperature of the tobacco 12 for proper reordering. From cooler 32 the tobacco 12 passes from continuous belt 14 to a steam/water bed 36 which accepts the evenly distributed dried and cooled tobacco 12 with minimal handling damage.
  • Steam/water bed 36 provides a cushioned drop area created by steam/water bed 36 where tobacco 12 falls before beginning the process through reorderer 34.
  • the bed of dried tobacco 12 is subjected to steam in order to raise the moisture content of the tobacco 12 to an appropriate level of about 15% moisture.
  • Using vibrational conveyance at a slightly upward angle of inclination tobacco 12 passes through steam tunnel 40 of the reorderer 34. This allows the dried and remoistened tobacco 12 to pass through the reorderer 34 with no mechanical handling which would promote damage to the dried tobacco material 12.
  • Dryer 38 is comprised of five independent drying zones, 22, 24, 26, 28 and 30 through which continuous belt conveyor 14 passes.
  • Belt conveyor 14 conveys tobacco 12 at about a three inch depth (7.62 cm.) and is 7 feet wide (213.3 cm.) .
  • the conveyor 14 is a single conveyor which passes through each of the drying zones as well as the cooling zone in order to minimize handling damage.
  • Tobacco 12 enters dryer 38 from a bulker at around 30% moisture content, as shown in Figure 2. Heated air 50 is forced into each dryer zone into a pressure plenum 52, shown in Figure 3, at the following pressures and temperatures:
  • Heated air 50 is then forced through a plurality of jet tubes 54 and impinges upon tobacco 12 at a velocity of between 1000 to 3000 feet (3.4m. to 914.4m.) per minute.
  • Jet tubes 54 in flow communication with said pressure plenum 52, are hollow and about 12 inches long (30.48 cm.) .
  • the temperature of heated air 50 in the pressure plenum 52 of zone 1 dryer 22 is from 200° F (93.3° C) to about 280°F (137.8°C) , and preferably at about 220°F (104.4°C) .
  • each zone of dryer 38 is independently controlled having its own heated air intake and exhaust, as shown in Figure 1.
  • Continuous belt 14 conveys the tobacco product 12 through the entire dryer 38 at about 1.3 ft/sec. (39.62 cm/sec) .
  • Drying zones 2, 3, 4 and 5, represented by reference numerals 24, 26, 28 and 30, utilize an air temperature between 200°F (93.3°C) to about 280°F (137.8°C) , and preferably at about 240° F (115.56°C) and force the air 50 through pressure plenum 52 at the pressures specified above.
  • the differing temperatures applied in each drying zone are used in order to minimize case hardening and leaf curling which may occur when drying of the tobacco leaf is attempted under high temperatures.
  • Total residence time of the tobacco 12 in dryer 38 is only about 60 seconds.
  • Dryer 38 is approximately 80 feet (24.38 m.) in length and, as previously stated, 7 feet wide (2.13 m.) .
  • Tobacco 12 at the entry of dryer 38 is at about 30% moisture content.
  • tobacco 12 has been evenly dried to about 5% moisture content in roughly 10% of the time it would take to dry the tobacco in a standard commercially available apron drier.
  • the dryer zones 22, 24, 26, 28 and 30 have a plurality of jet tubes 54 which are in flow communication with the pressure plenum 52. Jet tubes 54 force heated air downward onto the tobacco bed 12 with minimal disturbance of tobacco 12 yet causing an even drying of the tobacco throughout the tobacco bed and preventing deviation of moisture content throughout the bed depth. Accurate drying of the tobacco material is required because of pyrazine generation, removal of harsh volatiles and improved machinability of the leaf. Drying of the tobacco material must be closely monitored due to the drying of the heavy casing which is applied prior to this process, as improper drying may harden the casing and cause the tobacco leaf to curl.
  • air 50 forced through jet tubes 54 is recirculated back up through each dryer zone 22, 24, 26, 28 and 30 as well as cooling zone 32 through return channels 58 and 59.
  • Heated air 50 is provided in the pressure plenum 52 through forced air from the plurality of jet pipes 54. Air 50 is forced against the moving bed of tobacco 12 at a high rate of speed. Air 50 returns up both side exhaust vents 58 and 59, shown in Figure 3 for recirculation back through the independent dryer zone.
  • Tobacco bed 12 requires very little residence time in dryer 38 in order to properly dry the material to the requisite level, typically in the order of around 60 seconds.
  • pyrazines are generated in the tobacco.
  • the amount of pyrazines generated are directly related to the temperature at which the tobacco is dried as well as the total drying time. Pyrazine formation in the tobacco affects the flavor and substantive appeal of the smoked material. As a result, drying of the tobacco must be closely analyzed to ensure that the chemical composition of pyrazines in the tobacco remain constant from process to process.
  • Figure 5 shows a graph of pyrazine formation using different drying temperatures. Drying the tobacco 12 using dryer 38 with an air temperature of around 248°F (120°C) causes little or no differential in overall content of pyrazines. Alteration of total drying time also affects pyrazine formation and must additionally be controlled.
  • pyrazine formation remains fairly constant while drying at about 248°F (120°C) even though the drying time is reduced from more than minutes to 90 seconds.
  • a reduction in total drying time utilizing a process and apparatus such as described herein may be accomplished while still achieving uniformity in redrying of the tobacco to about 5% moisture content .
  • the tobacco After passing through dryer 38, the tobacco is at about 5% moisture content. Because the tobacco is at such a low moisture content, it is susceptible to damage and breaking so handling must be kept at a minimum. Also, prior to utilizing the tobacco 12 in cigarette production, it must be remoistened as the requisite moisture content of tobacco in the final cigarette product is about 15%. To accomplish this task, the tobacco 12 must pass through cooler 32 which uses the same jet tubes 54 as are shown in Figure 3. The air 52 used in cooler 32, however, is at ambient temperature, approximately 75° F (23.8°C) , cooling the tobacco in the tobacco bed 12 to around 80°F (26.6°C) . Total residence time of tobacco 12 in cooler 32 is about 15 seconds and requires only about 20 feet (6.1 m.) of processing length to reduce the tobacco to the appropriate temperature.
  • transitional steam bed 36 is provided in order for the tobacco to pass from conveyor 14 into steam tunnel 40 of reorderer 34.
