A process and apparatus for producing a smoking tobacco having a low nitrate content includes at least one stage through which a tobacco having a relatively high nitrate content, for example burley tobacco, continuously passes for continuous nitrate removal by dissolution. In the nitrate removal stage, a solvent is added to, for example, the burley tobacco to form a slurry. The free solvent, including dissolved nitrates, is decanted from the slurry leaving saturated burley tobacco. The saturated burley tobacco is subjected to an expression pressure to remove a further amount of solvent and dissolved nitrates therefrom. After the burley tobacco leaves the nitrate removing stage, it is mixed with another tobacco, such as, for example, a flue-cured tobacco. The tobacco mixture is then expanded and dried to a moisture content suitable for use in a smoking article. In order to provide a continuous uniform quantity of the tobacco mixture to the expanding-drying step, the mixture is bulked upon leaving the mixing step. | ||||||
96 | Method of processing tobacco in a blend-bulk silo | US32554873 | 1973-01-22 | US3811585A | 1974-05-21 | WILDING E |
A method for processing tobacco, which varies between a single type and a plurality of types, includes a plurality of bulk storing and blending steps. A shuttle car and conveyor carried thereon traverses a longitudinal storage bin or silo as the conveyor is controlled to deposit tobacco placed thereon into the silo beneath the conveyor. To store tobacco, the shuttle is moved incrementally while the conveyor is operated in the direction of that portion of the silo to be charged. To blend tobacco, the shuttle is reciprocated while the conveyor is operated in a direction toward that portion of the silo to be charged so as to deposit a plurality of layers into the silo. The shuttle and conveyor are operable to manually or automatically charge selected portions of the silo. The speed of the conveyor is varied in several of the blending steps to insure layers of even thicknesses. Tobacco is deposited on the conveyor by an additional shuttle and associated conveyor, the speed of the latter also being varied to insure deposited layers of even thickness on the first conveyor.
