The invention relates to a
smoke-control coarse moxa stick integrally rolled by multiple
layers of
kraft paper, and belongs to the technical field of
traditional Chinese medicine instruments. According to the moxa stick, 3-6
layers of
kraft paper are adopted to directly wrap moxa to form an integrated structure, a traditional double-layer process of thin paper roll core and thick paper tube is replaced, the length of a final product is 150-250 cm, and the
diameter of the final product is 5-10 cm. By controlling the layer number of the
kraft paper, the rolling compactness and the breathable micro-pore design, the breathability is ensured while the structural strength is maintained, and the moxa is fully combusted. The
combustion time can reach 15-18 hours, the center temperature is stabilized in a low-temperature interval of 180-220 DEG C, and the residue rate and the
smoke amount are remarkably reduced. The preparation method comprises the steps of kraft paper
cutting (the width is 2.05-2.5 times of the length of a moxa stick),
adhesive coating (the
adhesive width is 1-3 cm), multi-roller synchronous rolling and pressing and
cutting forming, the production process is simplified, and addition of a
smoke control additive is avoided. According to the scheme, the problems that a traditional technology is tedious in procedure, insufficient in
combustion and large in smoke are solved, and the method is suitable for large-scale production of thick moxa sticks with the
diameter being 5-10 cm.
