Method and system for producing of reconstituted vegetable films

A method for producing reconstituted vegetable strips characterized by the steps of:

• (a) milling vegetable materials to reach specific particle sizes between 10 and 200 MESH;
• (b) mixing cellulose fibers in an intensive mixer for 1 to 10 min producing nanocellulose fibers;
• (c) mixing the vegetable material obtained from step (a) with an agglutinating compound added to the nanocellulose fibers obtained from step (b);
• (d) adding at least one humectant agent and water to a mixture produced in step (c);
• (e) submitting the mixture described in step (d) to a step of shearing through a prelamination system comprised by at least two linear and parallel rollers;
• (f) submitting the strip obtained from step (e) to a mixture in the intensive mixer to obtain a homogeneous mass;
• (g) laminating the mixture obtained from step (f) between at least two linear and parallel lamination rollers, obtaining a continuous strip of specific thickness;
• (h) drying the vegetable strip obtained from step (g) through its passage through a thermal chamber in a specific temperature, between 90° C. and 900° C., through a conveyor belt;
• and
• (i) cutting and final processing of the dried strip obtained from step (h) for obtaining a final product.
