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.

Disclosed in the present invention is a control method for water supply during loosening and conditioning based on a neural network model and a dual parameter correction. The method comprises: establishing a neural network-based model for predicting the amount of water supplied during loosening and conditioning; predicting and distributing the total water supplied; and correcting the model based on material balance calculation and deviation. In the present application, when there is a large deviation in outlet moisture, the dual correction control system combining the material balance calculation and the moisture deviation is used for correction to improve the stability and precise control of the outlet moisture during the loosening and conditioning process.

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.
