Tobacco stem conditioning cylinder
In the tobacco processing industry, achieving optimal stem moisture content and conditioning is crucial. The challenge arises in ensuring each stem piece is uniformly conditioned to improve downstream processing and product quality while maintaining efficiency.
Optimal conditioning for tobacco stems
The COMAS Stem Conditioning Cylinder (DSC series) is designed to optimize the conditioning of raw tobacco stems. Equipped with longitudinal paddles running the full length of the cylinder and a central perforated beam, the system ensures even steam application throughout. Multiple sprays along the central pipe allow custom-tuned conditioning for different stem grades. The gentle rotation and light volumetric loading ensure every piece of stem undergoes comprehensive moisture treatment. Features include variable cylinder angle inclination, adjustable rotational speed, casing application system, and an automated cleaning system. These options provide a tailored conditioning process that enhances production efficiency. The system uses HMI control to store processing conditions for various blends, ensuring consistent results. For additional heating, the COMAS Stem Heating Screw can be integrated, delivering uniform heating and steam application. The conditioning cylinder and heating screw come with a complete service cubicle for utility applications.
