Tobacco Industry Application Examples
MoistTech’s NIR analyzer, the model 828 tobacco moisture gauge, is used for on-line tobacco moisture analysis at all locations in tobacco leaf and primary processing. The table below lists the applications and typical range for each tobacco moisture measurement. The accuracy that can be achieved depends on the sampling and testing methods. Whole leaf and strip tobacco will have higher sampling errors than cut finished tobacco due to the variability of the material.
Whole Leaf or Strips GTL Or Primary/Stemmery | 5-35% | 0.25% |
Strips/Threshing | 5-35% | 0.25% |
Re-dried Cut Lamina | 15-30% | 0.20% |
Finished Tobacco Blend | 12-18% | 0.05% |
Cut Rolled Stem, Water Treated Stem | 20-50% | 0.20% |
Expanded Tobacco | 5-15% | 0.10% |
Rolled Tobacco Stem | 10-20% | 0.15% |
Shorts | 10-15% | 0.20% |
Pipe Tobacco | 12-25% | 0.20% |
Chewing Tobacco | 10-40% | 0.30% |
Cigar Filler | 10-20% | 0.20% |
The online moisture transmitter can be in a stand alone or multi-sensor configuration.
