Design of Determination System of Machine-made Cigar Density based on Microwave Technology

Abstract

In this study, a determination system for machine-made cigars density based on microwave technology was designed and implemented. Leveraging the penetrability of microwaves, this system can rapidly and non-destructively measure the density of cigars, effectively overcoming the limitations of traditional weighing methods in terms of measurement speed and accuracy. Through density determination tests on Great Wall (Mini Vanilla) cigars, the accuracy and reliability of the system were verified, with an average error of only 1.49 mg/cm³.This system not only meets the determination requirements during the production process of machine-made cigars, improving product quality, but also provides the possibility for tracing the determination data. It is of great significance for enhancing the production efficiency and quality control in the cigar manufacturing industry.
