| In order to explore suitable loading tobacco leaf methods for Guangdong爷s tobacco production, we compared
the effectof three different methods (loading leaf with clip, loose-leaf with skewer and traditional loading leaf with pole).
The results showed that compared with the traditional way, equipment investment cost of the loading leaf with clip and
loose-leaf with skewer was higher, but tobacco leaf amount and loading density of the two methods increased dramatically,
loading and unloading efficiency was improved greatly, labor costs significantly declined. And this two methods reduced the
curing's energy consumption, which would have shown additional saving curing cost. In addition, seen from economic
character, the effectofloading leaf with clip was the best, loose-leaf with skewer and traditional loading leaf with pole were
followed, therefore we found that loading leaf with clip method was worth further experiment and popularizing in
Guangdong. |
