Pure tobacco is pure enjoyment. That’s what smokers look forward to, consciously or not, every time they light up. However, a tiny particle hidden in the tobacco can be enough to spoil the look and taste of a cigarette. With help from Hauni you can nevertheless be sure of producing the pure products that will keep customers satisfied – and loyal.

Hauni can offer a range of systems designed to scrutinize tobacco on its journey through the cigarette factory, from the bale loading point to the finished cigarette. For Primary, we offer the full range of products for NTRM removal to achieve effective NTRM elimination at all suitable points throughout the processing sequence, such as: magnets, sieves, separators, metal detectors, as well as the XC string remover and the sophisticated optical detection systems Tobacco Sorter 3 (TS3) and Optyx.

Hauni also supports an alternative strategy by eliminating NTRM prior to arrival to the cigarette factory. These sophisticated optical systems can be installed upstream at threshing plants (GLT). They detect and remove NTRM in lamina or stems prior to baling. This type of process control strategy can provide more direct feedback, helping first to identify and eventually to eliminate possible sources of NTRM.
