Embodiment Construction

[0089] initial reference figure 1 , presents a method for producing a slurry according to the invention. The first step in the method of the present invention is the selection of the tobacco type and tobacco grade 100 to be used in the tobacco blend used to produce homogenized tobacco material. The types and grades of tobacco used in the methods of the invention are, for example, flue-cured tobacco, sun-cured tobacco, oriental tobacco, and filler tobacco.

[0090] According to the following steps of the method of the invention, only selected tobacco types and tobacco grades intended to be produced for homogenized tobacco material are processed.

[0091] The method comprises a further step 101 of laying the selected tobacco. This step may involve checking tobacco integrity, such as grade and quantity, which may be verified, for example, by barcode readers for product tracking and traceability. After harvesting and curing, tobacco leaves are assigned grades, which describe, f...

Abstract

The invention relates to a homogenized tobacco sheet production line comprising: a tank (501) adapted to contain a slurry formed by a tobacco powder blend, a binder and an aerosol former in an aqueousmedium; a cast apparatus (600) adapted to receive slurry from the tank and to cast the slurry so as to form a homogenized tobacco material; a movable transporting support (606) on which said slurry is casted and adapted to transport the homogenized tobacco material along a transport direction; a slitter (611) located downstream the cast apparatus adapted to slit the homogenized tobacco material along the transport direction so as to form portioned homogenized tobacco sheets; and a winding station (613) located downstream the slitter adapted to receive the portioned homogenized tobacco sheetsfrom the slitter and to wind at least one of the portioned homogenized tobacco sheets in a bobbin. It also relates to a method for inline production of a homogenized tobacco sheet.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an apparatus and method for on-line production of homogenized tobacco material. In particular, the present invention relates to apparatus and methods for producing homogenized tobacco material for use in aerosol-generating articles, such as cigarettes or "heat-not-burn" products containing tobacco. Background technique [0002] Homogenized tobacco material is also used today in the manufacture of tobacco products other than tobacco leaf. Such homogenized tobacco material is typically produced from parts of the tobacco plant, such as tobacco stalks or tobacco dust, which are less suitable for the production of filler tobacco. Typically, tobacco dust is produced as a by-product during the handling of tobacco leaves during manufacture. [0003] The most commonly used forms of homogenized tobacco material are reconstituted tobacco sheet and cast leaf. Methods of forming sheets of homogenized tobacco material generally comprise t...
