Cut stem air-vibro drying solution
In the tobacco industry, processing cut stems to achieve optimal dryness while maintaining product quality is crucial. Traditional drying methods often result in uneven drying and inefficient energy use, posing significant challenges in maintaining quality control and operational efficiency.
Enhances drying efficiency with uniform airflow
The LF series, offered by Comas (Coesia Group), is a fully enclosed air-vibro drying solution tailored for cut stems in the tobacco industry. This dryer employs a vibratory system combined with hot air received from above through suspended tubes, which ensures direct and uniform airflow onto the tobacco. The fluidization of the product carpet optimizes moisture removal, providing consistent drying across the batch. The dryer also features a re-circulating process air system, which uses automatically cleaned screens to enhance energy efficiency and reduce operational costs. Additionally, the LF series includes an expansion steaming tunnel before the drying phase, which prepares the stems by expanding them, ensuring maximum moisture reduction prior to drying.
