52 tobaccoasia Issue 6, 2025 November / December Doyas Tobacco Technology's DIET line: making expansion affordable Turkish newcomer Doyas Tobacco Technology unveiled at InterSupply its cost-effective DIET (dry ice expanded tobac- co) manufacturing system, designed specifically for small-scale producers. "Of course we didn't invent DIET technology—it's been used for over 50 years," said technical manager Said Adil Atlioglu. "But we developed an in-house production line that's affordable for smaller manufacturers." Standard DIET systems are large and prohibitively expen- sive. "Our system has a processing capacity of 300 kilograms per hour and costs around €1 million, including installation," Atlioglu said. "That's a good price for this type of technology." The system is scalable, with projects ranging down to 100 kilo- grams or even only 50 kilograms output per hour. "There are only a few companies worldwide that manufacture DIET sys- tems," Atlioglu noted. "So we wanted to offer a solution to the excessive cost issue." Doyas provides extensive consultations to tailor the system to each client's needs. "We determine the tobacco type, expan- sion rate, and cutting size," Atlioglu explained. "These factors are critical for achieving the desired expansion." Prospective buy- ers are invited to visit Doyas's factory to see a running system. "They learn about space requirements, electricity consumption, CO₂ supply, and installation details," Atlioglu said. "We also offer four-day training courses for system maintenance." Though the company is only 2 years old, it has already installed systems in Turkey and Russia. "We dispatch technician teams for installation and testing," Atlioglu said. "And we're ready to expand further." More at: doyastech.com A mock-up of Doyas Tobacco Technology's affordable DIET manufacturing line. As busy as ever: InterTabac and InterSupply 2025.
