Stem Expansion Equipment

Improved Physical Properties: Microwave radiation rapidly expands stem fibers, forming a porous structure, which significantly increases its filling capacity and absorbency in stem-based products.
Superior Sensory Quality: The rapid heating induces the Maillard reaction which lowers woody smell and releases distinct aromatic compounds, better meeting cigarette sensory quality requirements.
Cut Expanded Stems: Expanded stems are cut into shreds, which are similar with cut tobacco lamina, ideal for regular, medium and slim cigarettes production.
