The process
Threshing, conditioning, cutting and drying of tobacco generate fine dust at every transfer. Dust extraction fans with bag filters on the primary line, hot air fans on the dryers, and conditioning for the processing floor.
The gas
Fine, slightly sticky dust from cutting and blending, with moisture from conditioning. Bag filter on the system, fan on the clean side, wheel easy to clean.
