Production and processing of tobacco
Tabaka smoking traditions go back a long way, and in modern society there is a habit of daily use of this fragrant product.
Ignoring the policy pursued by the state, the number of fans of smoking is not reduced, rather the opposite. In modern society there is a smoking of electronic cigarettes, hookahs, pipes, some chewing gum.
Features of production and processing of tobacco
Tobacco production is not only a profitable business, but also a business that requires technological equipment, quality raw materials and skilled labor.
The majority of modern cigarettes are produced in foreign factories for the production of tobacco, belonging to the largest concerns.
All products of the tobacco industry undergo mandatory certification before they arrive on store shelves.
Tabaka production process consists of two stages:
- Thickening and fixation allows the leaves to oxidize, acquire a characteristic yellowish hue, and also get rid of polyphenols. Tabak is deprived of the characteristic acidic taste. Fixation allows you to get rid of particles of moisture contained in raw materials.
- Fermentation is the process of chemical processing of taba leaves, as a result of which the moisture-retaining ability of the crushed raw material is reduced, and the herbal odor disappears. In fact, it is the fermented product that has a familiar aroma, the ability to quickly burn and absorb the fragrant smoke.
Tabaka Production Technologies
The majority of modern tabach companies use automated productions to create ready-made tabach products, which have the main advantages:
- large volumes of production. Conveyor lines work around the clock, so the products are produced in huge volumes, and the cost of a single unit is significantly reduced;
- non-contact production with minimal human participation allows plate manufacturers to observe all hygienic norms, inflicting minimal harm to the health of their employees. In addition, the probability of the error is reduced thanks to the action of the human factor;
- standardization of products. Production lines, set in a defined way, produce an identical product at any time. The difference between products is minimal, and the consumer receives standard quality of goods when buying any party.
Tobacco production
The technology of processing cigarette butts is aimed at suppressing its natural unpleasant taste. As a rule, for this purpose aromatic mixtures are used, which are sprayed with dry chopped leaves.
In the rest, the production of cigarettes is characterized by a high degree of automation of the process.
Dried sheets of cigarette butts are placed on the machine, which carries out its grinding to the necessary fractions. Cigarette plate has the smallest "gray" in comparison with a pipe or hookah.
Cigarette manufacturing equipment includes its own filter-assembly conveyor, a mechanism for installing the “collar” of cigarettes, as well as a device for assembling ready-made cigarettes from specified components.
Collected cigarettes on automated conveyor lines are packed in foil, placed in cardboard packs, and then wrapped in cellophane.
Tabak of Russian production for cigarettes
Modern plate production occurs in Russia, mainly in the form of control of foreign plate companies. For example, one of the oldest factories, located in Yaroslavl, currently operates under the auspices of the Imperial Tobacco concern.
Tabach leaves, by which Russian manufacturers work, carry out the procedure of processing and quality control, established by a foreign company. Due to this, it is possible to get cigarettes of "imported" quality, made on domestic raw materials.
Russian trademarks are currently operating in the budget price segment, and are generally not in demand by the Russian consumer. This is due to the powerful advertising companies of foreign competitors, as well as the high standards of quality of cigarettes, the original packaging and status of the products of competitors.
Hookah plate production
Smoking hookah is one of the most common ways of rest and relaxation in Russia for a large company. Hookah valuers prefer to smoke a plate deprived of nicotine resin.
Raw materials for the production of leaves of strong black plate, which are soaked for several days to maximize the percentage of nicotine and resin. After this dish, grind and mix with essences or whole pieces of fruit.
Then, place in sugar syrup for several days, mixing the product with butter, glycerin, molasses and honey.
The hookah for hookahs is flavored, soaked in honey or molasses, and moist. To preserve these properties, the prepared mixture is hermetically sealed.
Preparation of smoky mixtures from the finished product - a long process that requires specialized knowledge and skills. Therefore, the majority of restaurants and specialized smokers have several hookahs, which serve customers on an individual basis.
Tabaka production and processing in Russia
Current state policy is aimed at the global struggle with the population, especially teenagers and young people up to 30 years. Therefore, plate production is subject to excise duties, subject to regular inspections & nbsp; compliance with standards.
