Tobacco stem flattening system
Optimize your tobacco processing line with high-capacity stem flatteners designed to transform stems into uniform flakes, ensuring seamless integration and enhanced efficiency in continuous, high-speed operations.
The CLM series Stem Flatteners by COMAS Italy are engineered to streamline the processing of tobacco stems in high-speed, continuous operations. These robust machines feature dual hardened rotating rollers designed to precision-flatten tobacco stems, facilitating easy downstream processing into flattened stems and fine tobacco strips. Each flattener is equipped with adjustable rollers, allowing for customization of stem thickness according to processing requirements, and side pistons that automatically separate the rollers to prevent damage from overload or foreign objects. Offered in three configurations—CLM 650/650, CLM 650/850, and CLM 650/1100—these units provide a throughput ranging from 2,200 to 3,850 kg/h, making them adaptable to various processing capacities. Application-specific conveyors ensure efficient feeding and discharge, integrating seamlessly into existing production lines. Ideal for tobacco processing companies, the CLM series enhances product uniformity and process efficiency, with vibration technology for material conveyors ensuring consistent operation.
