The invention relates to a continuous method for pressure-conditioning
material for food and/or semi-luxury consumables, wherein said material
(12) is introduced through an entrance (4) into a hyperbarically
pressurized conditioning chamber (2), where it is treated with a
conditioning agent, and extracted again from said conditioning chamber
(2) at an exit (8), wherein the material (12) is conveyed continuously
from said entrance (4) to said exit (8) in a conditioning chamber (2)
inclined obliquely upwards, by means of a mixing conveyor, in particular
a conveying screw (3). It further relates to a device for
pressure-conditioning material for food and/or semi-luxury consumables,
in particular for comminuted tobacco material, preferably tobacco stem
material, comprising: a hyperbarically pressurized conditioning chamber
(2), into which the material (12) is introduced through an entrance (4);
supply nozzles (1) for treating the material (12) with a conditioning
agent; and an exit (8) for extracting the material (12) from said
conditioning chamber (2), wherein the conditioning chamber (2) is
arranged obliquely inclined upwards and comprises a mixing conveyor, in
particular a conveying screw (3), by means of which the material (12) is
conveyed continuously from said entrance to said exit. It further relates
to corresponding tobacco materials and smoking products.
