The invention relates to a leaf thread material feeding process and equipment, which belong to the technical field of tobacco
processing. The invention is characterized in that the leaf thread feeding process sequentially comprises the working procedures of thread
cutting, temperature increasing and humidifying loosening,
air separation loosening and material feeding. The equipment applicable to the process comprises a thread
cutting machine, a quantitative material feeding
machine, a vibration
vulcanization bed, an
air separation loosening device and a vertical material feeding
machine which are sequentially ranged, wherein each equipment is connected through material conveying mechanisms, the vertical material feeding machine comprises a material feeding cavity, a material inlet
airlock and a material outlet
airlock are respectively arranged on the top and the bottom of the material feeding cavity, a
material scattering mechanism is fixed on the upper part of the material feeding cavity, a material liquid atomizing
system is communicated with the material feeding cavity through an air inlet
pipe and a air return
pipe of a hot air circulation
system, and a sealed cyclic feeding
system is formed. The process and the equipment can solve the problems of large thread
cutting pulverization products of low-water-content tobacco flakes and material feeding aggregation of tobacco threads, the material liquid atomizing effect is good, the material liquid absorption velocity by the tobacco threads is high, the material feeding uniformity and the effectiveness are improved, in addition, the material storing time after the material feeding is shortened, and the production efficiency is high.
