Benefits
Tobacco leaves, cut tobacco and paper are all extremely hygroscopic which means that they give up their moisture to the surrounding environment if the air is too dry. Humidification is critical for success.
Reduce weight loss
If tobacco loses weight, it's market value is reduced, minimising profits.
Maintain quality
Dry air causes tobacco's properties to degrade resulting in brittleness, flaking, splitting and tearing.
Maximise production efficiency
Reduced wastage maximises production and processing speeds.
Humidification in tobacco manufacturing
Optimal tobacco quality
During both primary and secondary production stages, tobacco needs the correct humidity to maintain quality. This is typically between 60-70%RH. Any lower than 60%RH and tobacco will lose moisture content, reducing weight, quality and impacting on manufacturing processes.
Minimise static
Electrostatic charges can be a problem for manufacturing speeds and efficiency. Condair supports tobacco manufacturers by humidifying manufacturing plants to above 50%RH, eliminating the risk of static build up. This also applies to paper-handling facilities, where static can create downtime as paper could stick together or not feed properly.
