Residence time distributions were determined for the continuous processing of cut tobacco in the rotary drum by introducing expanded cut tobacco tracers to the inlet of the processing system using the negative step change method. Effects of rotating speed of the rotary cylinder and solids flow rate on the mixing homogenization and residence time distribution (RTD) of experiment materials was investigated. PER-CSTR series model and multistage CSTR model were used to fit the experimental results. The result shows mixing homogenization increased significantly with the increasing feeding rate of cut tobacco and decreasing drum rotating speed. PER-CSTR series model is more suitable to describe the RTD characteristics of flow materials in drum. The axis movement of cut tobacco along the drum is approximate to the plug-flow.
