Core Competence
PRIMARY
TURNING LEAF INTO FINISHED CUT-RAGS
In manufacturing cut rags, the process basically converts tobacco leaves that arrive in cases into batches of cut rag that is ready to be made into cigarettes. All tobacco leaves that are delivered to the factory are checked for quality and carefully processed together with other ingredients that a brand recipe may call for.
The special feature of our factory is the Cut- Rolled Expanded Stems (CRES) line. CRES reduces the cigarette weight while preserving the natural tobacco taste. It also has the ability to increase the filling power and burn rate which in turn reduces the number of puffs as well as reduces the tar and nicotine deliveries per cigarette.
We purchase tobacco leaves from internationally recognized tobacco manufacturers coming from the countries of Zimbabwe, Brazil, Croatia, China, Malawi, Indonesia and USA to ensure its quality. During manufacturing, the tobacco ingredients comprising of the flavor and the blending process play a vital role. Moisture content is checked every critical line of the production while required parameters must be achieved.
The primary lines basically converts leaves into cutrags from primary silo to Secondary Making Machine.
