How Leading Companies Benefit From TEWS.

Tobacco & Filter Industry As a Partner

Water Matters.

Product quality and -efficiency can be significantly optimized by controlling the moisture content in almost all process steps. Managing the moisture of tobacco is a key factor to achieve better results. TEWS patented solutions deliver high precision results. It's what matters when it comes to company goals and how to achieve them faster.

 

  • Securing High-Speed Production – Modern high-speed cigarette making machines require a constant inflow of homogenously processed tobacco. With up to 40,000 measurements per second we are well ahead of all tobacco- and filter-related production processes.
  • Improving Operating Efficiency – With our measurement results operators can utilize their advanced machines at an optimum and reduce downtimes and waste to a minimum.
  • Maintaining and Improving Product Quality – A precise moisture level is often decisive for the taste. And that, in turn, is decisive for the purchase decision of the end customer.
  • Optimizing Margins – Knowing the precise water content of products being purchased and sold leads to efficient price and cost management.
  • Saving Energy – Precise information about moisture allows optimization of drying processes, prevents your products from over-drying and leads to lower energy costs.
  • Storing Goods safe and efficiently – Precise compliance with the recommended water content prevents your products from mold, deformation or breakage.
MOISTURE & DENSITY SOLUTIONS

It Takes Two.

TEWS patented two-parameter measurement solutions enable tobacco companies to work with high precise data in both ways at the same time. Data that relate to the moisture content of tobacco as well as its density. Knowing the precise weight of tobacco during the high-speed manufacturing process leads to even better results in terms of product quality and -efficiency.

 

  • Cost Control – Accurate and uniform weight distribution profile of the tobacco in a cigarette is essential for the efficient use of tobacco.
  • Safe Products – Automatic ejection of cigarettes with foreign particles in the tobacco. 
  • Quality – Precise positioning of aromatic capsules and their integrity in filter rods. 
  • Weight Control – Exact and consistent determination of the tobacco weight per cigarette.
