Curved crosslinked aerosol strands raise fill value and enable efficient aerosol formation at lower heating temperatures with less material weight.
Gamma irradiation after fermentation reduces green odor and pungency in sun-cured tobacco while boosting aroma volume and smoke purity.
Low-pressure stirring with phosphate, heterocyclic, and monosaccharide additives boosts aroma release while suppressing adhesive smell in thick-paste tobacco sheets.
A nested triple capsule uses wax and water-soluble shells to improve strength, support liquid during heating, and avoid off-flavor.
A permeable cartridge retains aerosol precursor while releasing heat-generated aerosol, reducing combustion and pyrolysis byproducts.
Additive printing turns tobacco dust slurry into 3D filler shapes, cutting drying energy and improving filling power.
A multi-sheet wrapper controls tobacco-part circumference to improve insertion, prevent spilling, and preserve heat transfer and appearance quality.
Embossing a tobacco material web reduces layer adhesion in the bobbin, enabling easier unwinding, transport, and more consistent feed.
Non-uniform airway holes lower inhalation resistance and keep aerosol volume more uniform across puffs in heated aerosol substrates.
Uniformly distributed airway holes cut draw resistance and stabilize puff-by-puff aerosol release by improving heat transfer and flow paths.
Regular polygon airway channels cut draw resistance and stabilize puff-to-puff aerosol delivery by improving heat transfer through the substrate.
Light or microwave dehydration, optionally under vacuum, removes water from tobacco while preserving proteins and organoleptic compounds.
Internal channels linked to micropores smooth airflow and heat transfer, reducing inhalation resistance and puff-to-puff aerosol variation.
Lengthwise airways with controlled wall thickness cut draw resistance, improve heat transfer, and stabilize aerosol release without burning.
Channels and micropores in the aerosol substrate improve heat transfer, cut inhalation resistance, and make aerosol delivery more uniform.
Precise strip cutting of reconstituted tobacco preserves fiber alignment, boosts filling power, and reduces dust during conventional processing.
Uniform airway holes through the substrate reduce draw resistance, improve heating efficiency, and stabilize puff-by-puff aerosol volume.
A two-stage liquid addition and extrusion route keeps pressure-formed tobacco sheets uniform in thickness despite raw material moisture variation.
Staged powder-liquid mixing and extrusion keep pressure-formed tobacco sheets uniform across moisture changes while reducing adhesion during handling.
Expanded graphite particles spread heat through the aerosol substrate, supporting even temperatures, faster heating, and efficient volatile release.
Sequentially mixing powdered tobacco materials before liquid addition helps control moisture, sheet thickness, adhesion, and handling during pressure forming.
Staged dilution of binder before adding tobacco powder and liquid helps produce strong, uniform-thickness sheets without extrusion adhesion.
A curved, tapered contact surface dispenses additives onto web material, pre-forms it, and supports cleaner aerosol-generating rod formation.
Specific ratios of flue-cured tobacco, puffed burley, and puffed stem target 0.01–0.05% nicotine while preserving taste and combustibility.
Periodic changes in trimmer distance shape tobacco rod density profiles and avoid time-consuming trimmer-disc changes between products.
