We provide equipment for almost all steps in the GLT process, ensuring gentle leaf separation, exact moisture control, and strict adherence to your production specifications. 


Benefits

High efficiency

Achieve high line capacity with no quality degradation. Our systems are scalable and designed for the lowest cost per processed ton. 

Consistent quality

Ensure clean separation of lamina and stems, with minimal breakage. Our technology maximizes yield while protecting leaf integrity. 

Process reliability

Maximize uptime with durable designs built for dusty environments. We ensure fast cleaning and maintenance post-harvest. 

Integrated ecosystem

Our solutions work seamlessly with your Primary and Secondary machinery and process systems.

Speed

Process up to 12 tonnes of leaves an hour. 

Unparalleled expertise

We have 80 years of experience in the tobacco business, and our green leaf processing machines are used all over the world. 

Capabilities

An end-to-end solution

GLT has shifted from manual to largely automated, and now includes over 30 steps, many of them sensor-enabled and data-integrated.

Innovation

Automation and digital monitoring 

GLT operations are shifting from manual to automated processes—reducing human error when it comes to handling highly variable raw leaf material.  

  • Automation: By incorporating moisture sensors, optical detection of contaminants, and automated conditioning systems, you can improve consistency.   
  • Data integration: GLT lines connect to factory systems for real-time insights, supporting yield forecasts and predictive maintenance.
