Temperature and Humidity Monitoring for Tobacco Industry
Leaf tobacco consists of the dried and fermented leaves of the tobacco plant of the nightshade (Solanaceae) family.
General Recommendation
During the various stages in tobacco processing, the air should ideally be kept between 20 and 24°C, and 60-70% RH.
In the spaces used to store and preserve tobacco products, on the other hand, the air must be kept at around 20°C and 70 to 75% RH
The Dangers of Not Monitoring the Temperature & Humidity
If the tobacco is not stored and manufactured at the correct temperature and humidity, then the quality of the tobacco won’t reach expectations. If tobacco becomes heated, then it may dry out and the aromatic substances contained in it are volatized. The tobacco acquires then a hay like, bitter, sharp flavor. It may become hard and brittle, meaning that the leaves break under the slightest mechanical stress and eventually end up as powder. Tobacco leaves are highly hygroscopic, so if the relative humidity is excessive, the tobacco absorbs so much water vapor that it becomes a nutrient medium for molds. Mold, mustiness, mildew stains and a musty odor reduce the quality of the tobacco. Depending on the mold, white, grey, green or black spots are visible on the tobacco leaves.
Our Solution
To ensure product quality and process efficiency, tobacco industries need to adopt temperature and humidity data loggers. Freshliance COEUS-WIFI Temperature and Humidity Data Logger can be used for monitoring the environment during the processing, transportation and storage. This logger comes with audible and visual alarms. You can set up 3 groups of high and low alarms on our configuration software. Once the temperature and humidity data is abnormal, the wireless temperature and humidity data logger will display an LCD indication and audible and visual alarms. It will aloud 70dB with 3 meters so that the staff can find the abnormal status and adjust temperature and humidity in time.
