摘要：Object of this invention is a new machinery for casing and moistening not onlyleaves, strips or stems of tobacco but also cut tobacco, scraps, shorts, smalls and fines.The new machinery is characterised by the vertical passage of the tobacco through it; themachinery is essentially composed of a drum having its axis in a vertical or almost verticalposition. During the casing process the tobacco is struck by jets composed of steam,casing fluids, air or other gas mixed all together or not. The jets, coming from thecircumferences and the lateral surface of the drum, have been oriented differently sothey produce a turbulence in the drum that cases the tobacco in a very homogeneousway and at the same time cleans the inside walls and prevents the production of tobaccoballs or blocks; moreover there is a secondary advantage, in that the treated tobacco isthereby expanded and so there is an increase of the filling power of the tobacco. Thisinvention reduces the production costs and improves its quality.
