ABSTRACT:
A curing module is provided of generally rectangular solid configuration of which the bottom is imperforate and includes runners to facilitate lifting by fork lift; the top is imperforate with means for minimizing air leakage between the tobacco and top inner surface; the rear wall is imperforate with horizontal ledges to support the ends of tines which penetrate the tobacco; the front is generally imperforate, but opens to facilitate loading and when closed enables insertion of sharp rods which penetrate the tobacco and provide vertical support; and two opposed perforate side walls which permit horizontal cross-flow of the curing gas. One wall of which may be hinged to permit mechanized unloading of the cured leaf. Also provided is a simplified curing structure to receive the modules which are stacked by conventional fork lift equipment and to direct curing air horizontally through the perforate sides of the modules at controlled temperature, himidity and velocity.
