ABSTRACT:
A continuous stream of burley or greenleaf tobacco is transported through a first and thereupon through a second heating unit wherein the particles of tobacco are heated by ascending currents of hot air supplied at a pressure and rate such that the respective portions of the stream are fluidized. First and second detectors are provided to measure the temperature of tobacco downstream of the first and second heating units. Signals from the detectors are used to regulate the temperature of the respective air currents. The temperature of air current which is admitted into the second heating unit is further regulated in dependency on deviation of signals furnished by the detector behind the first heating unit from a reference signal denoting the desired temperature of once heated tobacco. The temperature of each current of hot air is further regulated in dependency on the monitored temperature of air which is about to enter the first and second heating units.
