Tobacco technology

The flavouring cylinder is equipped with a special pin arrangement to provide a uniform tobacco flow and mixing of the tobacco. The cylinder body and all elements that come into contact with tobacco are made of stainless steel. A two substance nozzle (compressed air – flavour) is installed at the infeed plate to spray the flavour onto the tobacco.

A combined unit with pump and tank, including level measuring and flavour pump is located close to the flavour cylinder on a separate frame with integrated control cabinet. The cylinder and the discharge hood are completely insulated against external heat losses.

The casing cylinder is equipped with a special pin arrangement to avoid the “roping effect”. The cylinder body and all elements that come into contact with tobacco are made of stainless steel. The additive is sprayed with steam via one two-medium nozzle onto the tobacco. The vapour is extracted via a continuously cleaning rotary sifting cylinder. For flushing purposes water inlet pipes are installed in the discharge hood, in the cylinder infeed and to the casing pipe network.

Inside the cylinder a rotating cleaning device is installed for a continuous cleaning of the inner cylinder surface. The cylinder and the discharge hood are completely insulated against external heat losses.
