METODA SI INSTALATIE DE SESIZAREA UMIDITATII TUTUNULUI SAU A ALTOR MATERIALE DE FUMAT ASEMENEA

摘要

Tobacco moving along a conveyor belt is compressed with a force several times the force of the dead weight of the tobacco. The compressed tobacco has an electric field applied through a first and second electrode positioned on the same side thereof. The electrodes constitute a capacitor which is part of a tuned circuit and under resonance conditions the signal derived from the tuned circuit has a magnitude corresponding to the percentage of moisture in the tobacco.
