ABSTRACT:
A continuous casing system is provided for bringing air dried tobacco in case. The system includes a greenhouse structure and at least one casing bay defined within the greenhouse. The casing bay is defined by appropriate structural members which are spaced apart a predetermined distance generally equal to the length of tobacco rods from which the tobacco is hung. Means are provided within the greenhouse structure for maintaining a predetermined relative humidity within the greenhouse, preferably around 90 percent humidity. A system for variably conveying the tobacco rods through the casing bay along the support structure in a substantially continuous manner is also provided whereby the tobacco rods with tobacco stalks hanging therefrom can be placed upon the support structure at one end of the casing bay and conveyed therethrough at a predetermined rate so that the tobacco is brought in case before being unloaded at the opposite end of the casing bay.
