Cut stem air-vibro drying solution
Enhance your tobacco processing with precise drying that ensures optimal moisture control and product integrity, critical for achieving high-quality, blended tobacco fillers.

The LF Series Air-Vibro Dryer from Comas Italy is a specialized drying solution tailored for continuous, high-speed tobacco processing. Leveraging a fluidized bed approach, it directs hot air via suspended tubes to uniformly dry and expand tobacco cut rag and stems. The process encompasses a closed-loop circulation system, recirculating air through self-cleaning screens to maintain efficiency. Equipped with an expansion steaming tunnel, it ensures optimal pre-conditioning of tobacco, improving product quality. Ideal for creating a range of tobacco products, including blended fillers and fine cut rolling tobacco. This equipment integrates seamlessly into existing lines, enhancing operational efficiency.
