Actual factory and process configurations could vary, but our industry experts know them all.
Las hojas secas llegan desde los campos. Dichas hojas se recogen y clasifican a mano. Las condiciones de las plantas de procesamiento, que trabajan 24/7, son difÃciles; el entorno de trabajo es muy polvoriento.
Main challenges
- Belt surfaces wear away quickly due to dust and sand
- Rough belt surface can injure workers
Solutions
- Ammeraal Beltech belts have sand-resistant and dust-resistant top covers
- Lightweight rubber fabric belts have gentle surfaces to support manual operations
En este paso la lámina se separa del tallo y se filtra el polvo y las partÃculas extrañas pequeñas.
Main challenges
- The wrong mesh structure leads to product loss or production difficulties.
Solutions
- Ultrascreen filter belts are available with a variety of mesh structures
In this step, seals need to be airtight and belt material needs to be tobacco-proof, compressible and wear-resistant. The lightweight rubber fabric range with its natural rubber inner layer has all of these characteristics. The tumblers are fed by incline conveyors.
Main challenges
- Short belt lifetimes
- Material with compression difficulties leads to loss of airtight seal
Solutions
- Lightweight rubber fabric range belts outlast other materials
- Ammeraal Beltech belts are made from compressible material for excellent fitting
- For incline feeding conveyors we offer special easy to clean profiles
After threshing and tumbling, all the moisture must be removed from the leaves to make them suitable for transport.
Main challenges
- Belts can delaminate
- Belt lifetimes are shortened due to heat and abrasion
Solutions
- Amtel Belts with spun fabric (ESM or ESF) do not delaminate
- The Ammeraal Beltech range includes a number of heat-resistant and wear-resistant solutions
Dry leaves and stems are packed separately in carton boxes to be shipped around the world. Hydraulic steel pushers are used to optimise box-filling.
Main challenges
- Uncoated pushers mean tobacco sticks to the steel and builds up quickly
- Poor tobacco release from the pusher
- Product sliding back on steep inclines
Solutions
- The plate of the pusher can be covered with embossed Peflex 30
- Embossed Peflex offers excellent release properties and eliminates tobacco build-up
- Profiled Peflex Belts provide proper friction for steep inclines
