Humidification for the tobacco industry
Humidity is crucial to the production of cigars and cigarettes. Tobacco leaves will dry out if the air is too dry, resulting in shrinkage, weight-loss and making them susceptible to breaking and crumbling. In fact, the products may even fall apart completely during processing.
Improved tobacco processing with the right humidity
CAPACITY
Tobacco leaves are hygroscopic. This means that they release moisture into dry ambient air. To stop the tobacco leaves from shrinking and breaking the humidity needs to kept stable at a relative humidity of 65%.
Preserve the quality and flavour of tobacco leaves
Maintain the product weight
Avoid torn, crumbled leaves
Increase the spread of production
Better quality through proper humidification
COMFORT
The quality and flavour of tobacco products are also affected by how they are stored. This is why cigars, as luxury goods, are frequently stored in humidors. These humidified cases help protect the contents from drying out.
Avoid dried-out tobacco
Reduce loss and wastage
Maintain the flavour, quality, and product-life
Cumulus raises the yield of tobacco

Our clients expect a consistent quality. With a Cumulus humidification system I can provide that. It is an affordable system that works perfectly. It’s the best on the market!
Thanks to Cumulus’ flexible lease options our presses can run at full throttle. Fewer production stops, a consistent quality, and a stable process ensure a better return.
Flour dust allergies are a very common problem in the bakery branch. Cumulus humidification reduces flour dust and creates a healthier and more comfortable indoor climate.
Wood is sensitive to moisture levels. It shrinks, warps, and cracks. A Cumulus installation creates a stable humidity. That is essential for our production process and our KOMO certification.
We don’t need static electricity as part of our production process. Cumulus humidification reduces the fire risk and helps our production process run more smoothly.
