Fine grinding of tobacco, tea and flavorings for electronic cigarettes: efficiency and control with Cimma Morandotti PPS pulverizers
The importance of milling in the tobacco and flavoring industry
In the production of tobacco, tea, and flavorings for electronic cigarettes, the quality of the final powder is an essential parameter.
Controlled particle size,product homogeneity, and stability of flavor properties directly influence the yield and consistency of the finished product, as well as the sensory experience of the user.
To ensure accurate control of these aspects, it is necessary to adopt high-performance micronization and classification technologies that can reduce particles to the desired size without overheating or damaging sensitive materials such as tobacco, tea, or flavor blends.
The PPS pulverizer with integrated classifier
Cimma Morandotti S.p.A., with more than 75 years of experience in the design of powder grinding and classification equipment, produces a range of PPS (Pulverizing System)pulverizers with integrated dynamic classifier, specifically designed for processing organic and thermolabile materials.
In the PPS system, grinding takes place by impact between the rotating hammers and the inner shells of the grinding chamber.
This combined action allows the material to be crushed into very fine particles, providing high reduction efficiency.
Installed within the same machine body is a variable-speed dynamic classifier, which continuously separates the finer particles-constituting the final product-from the coarser ones, which are automatically recirculated in the grinding zone.
The result is a homogeneous, controlled powder, free of unwanted fractions, obtained in a single, compact and continuous process.
Premilling and planting flexibility
To optimize the efficiency of the process, Cimma Morandotti also manufactures pre-grinding mills, intended for the initial reduction of the raw material before the fine micronization stage.
The combination of the pre-grinding mill and PPS pulverizer allows to improve the overall yield of the plant, reducing processing time and preserving the quality of the finished product.
Plants can also include feeding, filtration, collection and automation systems, custom-designed according to the characteristics of the material being processed and the customer’s production needs.
Technical advantages of the Cimma Morandotti PPS system
The use of the PPS pulverizer with integrated classifier offers numerous operational and quality advantages:
- Constant and adjustable particle size control with built-in dynamic classifier;
- Reduced overheating of the product, which keeps the aromatic and volatile components intact;
- Closed process, reducing dust dispersion and improving environmental safety;
- Easy inspection and maintenance due to modular and accessible construction;
- Adaptability to different types of organic and aromatic materials.
The Cimma PPS is ideal for fine grinding of tobacco, tea, herbs and e-liquid flavors, where particle size precision and gentle handling are critical.
ATEX safety and compliance
All Cimma equipment intended for processing organic powders – such as tobacco, tea and flavorings – can be supplied in an ATEX-certified version, which complies with the European Directive 2014/34/EU for environments with dust explosion hazards.
This ensures maximum operational safety, preventing risks of electrostatic ignition or buildup during grinding, transport or product collection.
