As you know, the production of tobacco products is a profitable business. Manufacturing technologies for tobacco products are changing and improving every year.
In the modern market of tobacco products worldwide, there is a trend towards increased consumption and trade in cut tobacco for manual rolling of cigarettes (RYO tobacco), including and from unregulated producers.
About the production of cut raw tobacco (creating a tobacco blend) tells Sergey Tabakov, RTF company technologist.
1. Selecting the right blend of tobacco is the first step in cigarette production. As soon as we receive the order (if it is not a standard bag from our range), the necessary tobacco is sent from the warehouse.
2. The still dry and pressed tobacco enters the DCC rotating cylinder. Here, the individual leaves are moistened with water and steam to make them supple.
3. Then, depending on the recipe, softeners and tobacco sauces are applied to the tobacco. To ensure the tobacco is evenly moist, the mixture is then left in the conditioning hopper.
4. Since the leaf fragments in the mixture are still too large, the moist tobacco is passed through a special leaf cutter (tobacco cutter) to produce thin filaments which are then ideal for use in cigarettes.
5. Still wet filaments of tobacco are put through a dryer for further processing. This gets rid of excess water. This also makes the flavor more balanced, deep and mild.
6. Depending on the recipe, a flavoring agent is added to the cut tobacco. This gives the cigarette the final flavor characteristic of each brand.
In addition to tobacco, which is the main ingredient in all of our cigarettes, other ingredients are added to many of our brands. Some ingredients, such as humectants, help maintain the moisture and pliability of the tobacco leaf. Others contribute to the taste and aroma of the tobacco leaf smoke.
7. The final step is to make sure that the mixture is mixed well once again. The tobacco is now ready for cigarette making.
Cigarettes, which are the predominant tobacco product, are highly engineered nicotine delivery devices that are mass produced by the major industries by integrated automation.
A wide variety of tobacco products are available worldwide such as cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobaccos, smokeless tobacco products (STP) etc. Each of these types is produced by using different tobaccos and additives and by using different manufacturing practices.
