Sorting Tobacco
Non Tobacco Related Materials (NTRM) :
The majority of NTRMs consist of: synthetics and sealing material, casing deposits, feathers, animals & bugs, paper, cloth, strings, metal, sand, grass, straw, stones, wood, non tobacco leaves, …
Specific (sorting & integration) solutions are required/provided for each type of tobacco product: Lamina’s, Oriental, Blends, Cigar filler…
Approx. 70 % of the NTRM is already in the tobacco when it is delivered to the tobacco product manufacturers, making increased sorting requirements in Green Leaf Threshing a must.
About 30 % falls into the tobacco during the final tobacco product processing, thus making additional sorting even in Primary and Secondary Manufacturing Departments crucial.
BEST is also optimizing optical technologies for : color grade & size analyses
