Experimental Study on the Stability of Pneumatic Cut Tobacco Feeding System

Abstract

According to the process performance of cigarette machines system, the device was established to measure the stability of pneumatic cut tobacco feeding system, which was signified as the flow deviation coefficients of branch circuits. The state and process of pneumatic feeding system were simulated respectively by shutting one branch, and then it paid close attention to the changing of flow rates or velocities in other branch circuits. The flow deviation coefficients were calculated with the experimental data, and the results shown that shutting down one branch, the flow deviation coefficients of other branches is always below 12%.The results will do some benefits to the design of cut tobacco pneumatic conveying system in the engineering application.
