A system and method for curing or drying tobacco leaves are described herein. The method includes flowing a first combustion gas generated by a first heat source through a first flue pipe provided inside a first barn to heat air inside the first barn to cure a first batch of tobacco leaves disposed inside the first barn; transferring at least a portion of the first combustion gas generated by the first heat source to a second flue pipe provided inside a second barn adjacent the first barn to heat the second barn and start curing a second batch of tobacco leaves disposed inside the second barn; and flowing second combustion gas generated by a second heat source through the second flue pipe to continue curing the second batch of tobacco leaves after the second barn is heated.

Disclosed is a biomass stove for burning biomass fuel using a combustion furnace. The stove includes a gravity feed fuel holding tank for feeding biomass fuel to the furnace. The combustion furnace includes a primary combustion furnace and a secondary combustion furnace surrounding the primary combustion furnace, as well as a water jacket surrounding the secondary combustion furnace and an air jacket further surrounding the water jacket. A fuel holding device may be in the form of a rotating furnace that includes a support surface with one or more curved vanes thereon for moving gravity fed fuel. An ash removal assembly includes an adjustable ash grate and a fixed ash grate below the furnace. Adjustment of the adjustable grate relative to the fixed grate moves openings into and out of alignment such that ash from burned biomass fuel is output to an ash pan.

A tobacco production system is provided for producing useable tobacco material having chemical and physical properties acceptable to tobacco industry stakeholders, by growing tobacco entirely in a directly seeded system, under an intensive biomass growing system, mechanically harvesting above-ground portions of the plant a plurality of times during the growing season, curing tobacco leaves and stalks together, and processing the cured tobacco material to obtain cured leaf material suitable for use in tobacco products including, but not limited to, cigarettes, cigars, snus, snuff, chewing tobacco, pipe tobacco, reconstituted tobacco material, and other manufactured tobacco products.
An apparatus (10) is configured to control the distribution of tobacco strip in a charger (80) of a tobacco packing press (1, 2). The apparatus includes a housing (12). A plurality of ducts (14, 18, 20, 26, 28, 32, 34, 52, 54, 58, 60, 68, 70) extend from the housing (12) to the charger (80). Each duct (14, 18, 20, 26, 28, 32, 34, 52, 54, 58, 60, 68, 70) is configured to direct a portion of the air flow from the housing (12) to the charger (80). A plurality of nozzles (82, 84, 86, 88) are spaced around the perimeter of the charger (80). Each nozzle (82, 84, 86, 88) is connected to a corresponding one of the plurality of ducts (14, 18, 20, 26, 28, 32, 34, 52, 54, 58, 60, 68, 70). Each duct (14, 18, 20, 26, 28, 32, 34, 52, 54, 58, 60, 68, 70) may include a flow controller (36, 38, 46, 48, 62, 64, 72, 74) that is selectively openable and closable to direct the portion of the air flow around a perimeter of the charger (80) to distribute the tobacco strip in the charger (80).

An apparatus for scanning and sorting tobacco leaves includes a conveyor to convey a flow of tobacco leaves. The flow of tobacco leaves includes acceptable and unacceptable leaves and undesirable particles. An air flow source lifts and accelerates the flow of leaves and particles to a speed at which the leaves and particles are separated. A duct contains the lifted and accelerated flow. A scanning device scans the flow in the duct and generates a signal upon detection of an unacceptable leaf and/or undesirable particle. A rejection device responds to the signal and forces the unacceptable leaf and/or undesirable particle from the duct. A method of scanning and sorting tobacco leaves includes conveying a flow of tobacco leaves including acceptable and unacceptable leaves and undesirable particles, lifting and accelerating the flow to a speed at which the leaves and particles are separated, scanning the separated leaves and particles to detect unacceptable leaves and undesirable particles, and forcing unacceptable leaves and/or undesirable particles from the accelerated flow of leaves. The flow may be accelerated to a speed of between 4,000 - 6,000 ft/min. The scanning device may be an optical or laser scanning device that scans the flow between 2,000 - 12,000 times per second.
