The present disclosure relates to a tobacco flavoring machine, comprising: a drum (1) capable of rotating about an axis thereof as a rotation center; a nozzle (6) disposed in the drum (1) to spray a liquid flavor to tobacco shreds in the drum (1); and a shoveling plate (5) arranged on an inner wall (11) of the drum (1) and extending from an inlet end of the drum (1) towards the interior of the drum (1), the shoveling plate (5) being disposed obliquely with respect to a generatrix (9) of the drum (1). The present disclosure improves the problem of the related art that tobacco shreds cannot flow smoothly from an inlet end toward an outlet end because a shoveling plate (5) is parallel to an axis of a drum (1).

Systems and methods for measuring tobacco for packaging in pouches are disclosed. A system includes a hopper structured and arranged to hold a granular material in a hopper cavity. The system also includes a measuring system including a measuring cavity and a tube that is slidable in the hopper cavity between a first position unaligned with the measuring cavity and a second position over and aligned with the measuring cavity. The measuring system is configured to continuously communicate a vacuum to the measuring cavity. The measuring system is configured to move a portion of the granular material from the hopper cavity to the measuring cavity when the tube is in the first position. The measuring system is configured to move the portion of the granular material from the measuring cavity to a pouch making machine using pressurized gas that overcomes the vacuum when the tube is in the second position.

A system for a division and separation process of a full-size tobacco bale through its horizontal direction without removing it from its original case, positioning of the upper piece into another empty case and completing all sub-processes with compact solutions. The mechanical features of process used during the division of tobacco bale inside case are the folding of case side flaps, ensuring of holding them steadily during entire process, measuring the incoming case weight, creating free space in between case side walls and tobacco bale, travels of dividing arms in to the free space, rotation and pulling up the section of the tobacco bale outside and releasing of this upper section into upcoming empty case.
