Where OV is the actual percent oven volatiles of the pattern of tobacco reduce filler and f is a correction factor (0.four for the check indicated). In RYO, the stem can both be separated from the lamina by hand (for hand-stripped tobacco) or the stem and lamina are not separated in any respect (loose-leaf tobacco) – this type is used for Scandinavian Tobacco Group’s Norwegian RYO brand Tiedemanns. A methodology based on any one of claims 15 to 20, additional comprising adjusting the moisture content material of the second tobacco materials. A fishbone-shaped strip is proven in Figure 6, whereas Figures 7 and eight present two embodiments of rectangular strips. Abstract The amount of tobacco which is critical for the proper filling of a cigarette is decided by different factors and significantly on the filling weight of tobacco rag at a given pressure. Some years ago the ”Centre d’Essais” of the SEITA developed an apparatus by which the filling weight being related to the filling capacity may be measured.
Experiments have been carried out in order to assess the impression of various shapes and minimize specs to key parameters of tobacco reduce filler particles, such as the filling energy. In more detail, Figure 1 shows a zigzag-shaped strip and Figure 2 reveals a wave-shaped strip. Where the minimize strip is zigzag-shaped or wave- formed, it is possible to measure a wave size of the cut strip, which substantially corresponds to the strip reduce length divided by the variety of repetitions of the zigzag or wave. For instance , in the cut strip of Figure 1 the zigzag is repeated 10 times. Preferably, a wave size of the sinusoidal shape is from about 1 mm to about 15 mm, more preferably from about 2 mm to about 12 mm, even more ideally from four mm to 10 mm. Preferably, the tobacco minimize filler further comprises a second tobacco material minimize in accordance with a second minimize specification differing from the primary reduce specification for no less than one of minimize length and cut width.
The expressions “final minimize width” and “ultimate cut length” are used herein to explain the cut width and minimize length of a tobacco materials as present in a tobacco cut filler used in a tobacco product. The technique might additional comprise a step of conditioning the primary tobacco materials previous to cutting the first tobacco materials. Further, the strategy may comprise a step of controlling the moisture content of the reduce filler by adjusting the moisture content material of the first tobacco material.
Half Zware Normally manufactured from Virginia, dark-fired, dark air-cured tobaccos. Zware Contains a higher proportion of dark-fired or air-cured tobaccos and less Virginia tobacco than Half Zware. Zware means “heavy” or “darkish”, so Zware tobacco is darker – in both colour and taste – than Half Zware. A method based on declare 15 or 16, wherein the primary tobacco material is a pre-processed tobacco material Filling cut tobacco. With pressed cuts, the tobacco is placed under excessive stress and ranging degrees of heat for an extended period of time. A little bit of fermentation additionally happens in the course of the process, which gives the tobacco a fuller, rounder style.
The thickness due to this fact corresponds considerably to the thickness of the tobacco materials fed to the cutting or shredding apparatus. The thickness of an individual cut strip could be measured utilizing a traditional measuring system beneath a microscope. In some embodiments, the thickness of a tobacco material forming the minimize strip may be considerably constant. In different embodiments, the thickness of the tobacco material forming the minimize strip may differ along the longitudinal path, alongside a path perpendicular to the longitudinal path, or along both. The thickness of a person reduce strip is measured at the point along the longitudinal direction of cutting that yields the most important cross-sectional space.
This document specifies a technique for dedication of filling energy for preparation of fine-cut tobacco smoking articles. Its leaves are 20 – 50 cm lengthy and range in color from mild brown to very darkish brown. When the lowest leaves are harvested, the entire plant can both be cut down and dried or the plant could be harvested leaf-by-leaf. A methodology based on any one of claims 15 to 18, further comprising conditioning the primary tobacco material previous to slicing the primary tobacco material. A method based on claim 18, comprising controlling the moisture content of the reduce filler by adjusting the moisture content material of the primary tobacco materials. A tobacco cut filler in accordance with claim 1 , further comprising a second tobacco materials minimize in accordance with a second cut specification differing from the primary reduce specification for at least one of cut length and cut width.
